January 2008 Monthly Competition Rules/Sign-Up Thread.

No minimum length?

Anyway, I think I'm in. Although there might be a chance of me dropping out

Alright, the New Year's Competition is going nowhere, so I guess I'll ask if I can be a judge here?

Exactly!

If I write two instruments on one stave (I.E. Two flutes, two trumpets, ect.), is that acceptable?
The guidelines don't mention anything like that specifically.

Yup, you may do so!

Nope, no minimum Length! However, know that if you have a piece that is too short, it won't win!

(Thx to whoever melded my posts!)

Mori, saying that to James you've just made it theoretically possible to write a piece for a very large ensemble, just with a rather messy score

I am most certainly in. Is there any specified length or number of variations? Or length of variations?

Don't worry, I usually keep very tidy scores, nothing too cramped.

At least 4 Variations, I've added it to the rules.

I was just pointing out that concievably, although it's only 6 staves, you could get about 20 instruments on there. It just wouldn't look too good

I've spoken to Mori, and we're allowed variations on an unoriginal theme !

HA! You COULD, but then it wouldn't be properly orchestrated, we will be looking for that~!

I won't take liking to a messy score. I'm the kind of guy who actually looks at score to find ways to make them neat and clean. I think that you should try to keep it to a minimum of 2 parts (not included chords) per staff. Basically, 12 parts at the most. I would just think that it would be more effective and cleaner.

I am in!
