Hi everyone!
Thanks for the feedback on the application process. I did call at both
festivals last year. Both applications I just asked to call with the
festival orchestra and had a couple of good experiences. Thank you also
to the people who replied off-list with suggestions.
Good Luck to all the performers this year!
See you on the dance floor!

I realized last night that I had let the deadlines pass for the
performer applications for Down East and NEFFA this year. I also
realized that part of the reason that I let them pass was because I
wasn't sure what was expected on the forms. Here are the questions I
should have asked weeks ago:
Generally the festivals provide 1 hour slots. Do you put a theme with a
short description onto the application, or can you just request a slot
and figure out the theme later? How much do callers try and do something
totally original or do they pick a theme that hasn't been done in a
while? Do you work out something with a band before, or does the
festival scheduler pair you up?
I would enjoy hearing how some of the callers with festival experience
approach the application process.
Thanks!
Chris
