6. Complete Monthly Rehearsal Feedback Form

7. Complete Performance Feedback Form after each performance

We are currently working on creating a library of New Musician parts for performed pieces. Once your mentors have written their New Musician parts for the performance piece, please email us either a pdf or image file of each part. Just make sure that you note the instrument and name of the performance piece somewhere on each page. Email to: dorean@unitedsound.org.

8. Optional: have chapter members sign up for US Participant GroupMe. Help New Musicians with phones sign up too! Each month we’ll have contests for chances to win some cool prizes. This GroupMe will just be used to send notifications of those contests.

Presidents’ meeting videos, agendas, and handouts

Missed a meeting? (Or maybe your chapter signed up after the beginning of the year?) Presidents are encouraged to attend meetings, but if you have to miss one, you can catch up here! Don’t worry, the part you are required to watch is only 15 minutes! Videos, agendas, and any handouts are typically posted within 1 week of the meeting. Once you watch the first 15 minutes, fill out the form on the page to get credit for “attending”.
