From ABA president elect, Mike Holmes


Directors,

If you plan to request to play a piece of music for MPA that is not on the ABA Cumulative List then you must follow the steps listed below by "the third Friday in January" (Received byJanuary 17, 2014, not postmarked)

1. Go to the ABA web site
2. Open the ABA Forms tab
3. Open the "Request to Play Compositions Not on Cumulative List" tab
4. Print that form and follow the instructions on the form
5. Please note that you must include aPhotocopy (not an original-the photo copy will go into the recycle bin once I have finished with it) of the score and a recording (CD that you do not want returned to you) of the piece you wish to play.
6. Every part of the application must be completed in order for me to consider your request.

Please be aware that we have an extensive list of approved music from which you can choose.  I highly recommend that you exhaust that list prior to submitting a request to play a piece not on the list.

Sincerely,
