There is much interest in this competition and our young people produce a high standard in the District. Instruments played included Vibraphone, Euphonium, Tenor Horn, Trumpet, Glockenspiels, Harp, Oboe, Soprano Saxophone and many more. The District 1070 Young Musician competition takes place annually and all Rotary Clubs are invited to submit entries, preferably following local heats.
Entrants must be located within the Rotary District 1070 area. If in doubt, see District Map for further information.
-
 First decide on a date and venue for your local competition or event, bearing in mind that all entries for the District Semi Finals in 2012 need to be made by 10th February, 2012. Only a Rotary Club in District 1070 can make entries to this event.
-
Find someone to act as an adjudicator for your event. Ask a local music teacher or the head of music in a local secondary school. If they don’t feel competent to do it, they may know someone who is.
-
Contact your local schools and advertise the competition. The District Competition is open to young people who permanently reside within District 1070 or who attend schools within District 1070.
-
Charge for admission to your event if you wish to help defray costs. You could also sell refreshments and put up displays about your local Rotary Club, District events, RIBI events and RI events. This is a good PR opportunity.
-
Look at the rules for Young Musician in District 1070 to find the categories and age groups and other restrictions.
-
Don’t worry about how many entries you have, the role of your adjudicator is to make sure the young people you enter to the District event are of a suitable standard and will be competent to perform in public.
-
Don’t forget you can only make one entry for each category to the District semi-finals.
-
Entrants appreciate some feedback from your adjudicator, written or verbal.
-
Remember to look carefully at the rules about accompanists. No recorded backing tapes are allowed in the District Competition, but you could use them for your local event, and then find a suitable accompanist for subsequent events.
-
If you only have a small entry, then you may just ask your adjudicator to individually audition the entrants to establish the standard of the young people. Remember you do not want to frighten young people who are just learning an instrument; the aim is to encourage them, not to put them off!
