The taped audition must be recorded on a new, high quality cassette tape on one side only. Tapes must be unedited. The tape may include studio as well as concert performances as long as no editing has occurred. The recording device may be stopped between movements in multi-movement works. Submissions of tapes found to have been edited will result in the applicant's disqualification. If you use noise reduction processing, use only Dolby B. There must be NO IDENTIFICATION on the tape or box; NO SPEAKING may be recorded. The applicant's name, address, and competition entered must appear ONLY on the outer package. Tapes will be coded and sent to the approprate judging committee with only the code number identification. Tapes become the property of the FFMS and will NOT be returned.
