Checklist for Preparing a Recital
Scheduling a Recital Date & Reserving Facilities
Student recital dates are assigned based on available dates. At the end of spring semester music faculty members receive dates from the Fine Arts Center Office and assign half and full recital dates and times for the following year. Use of kitchenette and Hospitality Suite are included for receptions.
Publicity
* Newspaper & "Connections" - Contact Anthony Slaby in the Communications/Marketing Office (796-3042). He handles campus publicity ('Connections' and 'VU Today') and sends information to the La Crosse Tribune.
* Posters: Students prepare and pay for their own recital posters, which should be proofread by their applied teacher before copying and posting. Wording should include "Sponsored by the Viterbo University Music Department."
* Website calendars: Please check the Music Department calendar of events to make sure your recital information is posted and accurate.
Programs
* Music Department programs have a standardized format and color (ivory). Each student receives 75 copies of their program. More copies may be obtained at a nominal charge.
* If you want your program prepared by the School of Fine Arts Office, submit a rough draft to Sue Hauser no later than two weeks before your recital.
* If you want translations or program notes included, you must type these yourself.
* If you wish to type your own program, check with the School of Fine Arts Office to include the necessary information.
* Your applied teacher should proofread all program materials before they are copied.
Recording
Recital recording should be arranged through the Fine Arts Center Office.
