Lou Perry Harmony University Scholarships competition now open
A talented arranger will earn a scholarship to Harmony University 2008!
Updated: 2/22/2008 3:51:45 PM
The adjudication panel for the 2008 Lou Perry Harmony University scholarships is Dennis Driscoll (chair), Mel Knight, and Burt Szabo. Each participant will receive a detailed review of his arrangement by one of these three.
There will be at least one winner this year, who will receive prepaid tuition to Harmony University 2008 in St. Joseph, Missouri. Transportation is the individual's responsibility. Results will be announced by letter to all participants by May 15, 2008. Submissions of contestants who include an email address will be acknowledged.
Contest rules:
1. Entries shall consist of three copies each of
- the arrangement
- the published sheet music (arrangements will not be considered unless accompanied by copies of the published music, preferably a piano/vocal score).
- a letter discussing your arranging experience, performance of your arrangements, and any other relevant information on your barbershop involvement. Please limit to one page.
2. Contestants need not be members of the Barbershop Harmony Society. Each contestant may submit only one song/arrangement.
3. Arrangements of original songs will not be accepted. This is a contest for arrangers, not songwriters.
4. Only arrangements that are suitable for competition by male quartets and choruses, under current contest rules, will be acceptable.
5. The song may be in Public Domain or under copyright, but it must have been commercially published at some time.
6. A song that has been previously arranged by someone else is acceptable, but the submitted arrangement must be based on the original sheet music, not on another arrangement, and the submitted arrangement must be noticeably different from the previous arrangement.
7. The arrangement must be original and unassisted, i.e., no consulting with other arrangers.
8. Arrangements previously submitted in prior Lou Perry scholarship competitions are ineligible.
9. Previous winners and persons whose arrangements have already been published either by the Society or by a commercial publisher are ineligible.
10. Preference (and high scores) will be given to arrangements of songs that have not been frequently recorded by Society groups, or published by the Society.
Entries will be judged on:
- Song selection (1/3). Does the song lend itself to arranging in the barbershop style?
- The caliber of the arrangement (2/3). By current standards, how good is the arrangement?
- Contestants are expected to demonstrate proficiency in arranging in the barbershop style; evidence of creativity and imagination are desirable.
Entries must be received by March 15, 2008. If the entrant has developed the arrangement with a Coda product, such as Finale, the file should be sent by email. Otherwise, send by regular mail to:
Dennis M. Driscoll
213 Redmond Drive
