We have moved away from the use of CDs and have updated to pre-event submission of music. Upon arrival at the eisteddfod you must still check in and double check your music at the music/check-in desk each day you are competiting.  

We ask that you use the correct naming conventions as set out below (using iTunes) for each of your music items. NO ABBREVIATIONS

FILE NAMING
In iTunes:
Song name: Section XX Competitor XX,  Start ON/OFF no TAG/TAG
Artist: Competitor name
Album: Section name
(Please do not use any abbreviations)
Repertoire entrants: Please enter your variation in the song name section AFTER competitor number.

NB. Definition of tag: Piece of music added to dance at the end that allows the dancers to bow & exit stage to music

EXAMPLE:

To ensure the naming conventions stick go File > Convert > Create MP3 version and send us this version. Upload your file/s by either emailing them to music@dancesunshinecoast.com.au (preferred method) or by going to our website www.dancesunshinecoast.com.au and clicking on the appropriate music tab. If you do not use iTunes then please use the instructions in your preferred software. Due to time constraints. we will not contact you unless there is a problem.

We have made a video of how to label your music correctly. The video can be found at www.youtube.com/SCDE . Any queries on the process can be asked prior to the eisteddfod by emailing music@dancesunshinecoast.com.au . 

We ask that you bring with you two USB sticks as a backup. If USB sticks are not an option you can bring your music on a CD or device however as these may take time to enter we ask that every effort is taken to use USB sticks.

We will have TWO computers setup to take your music. Whilst every effort is taken to quickly help entrants with music, if there is a line up at the music desk there is little we can do. Early submission is the best option
