OTHER INFORMATION:
Many schools these days make recordings of their band or choir, mostly for friends and family. The NSMEA would like to showcase the hard work our students in Nova Scotia do. We'd like to create a page dedicated to recordings by school ensembles, with contact information so that visitors to the site could perhaps download sound samples, and/or purchase the recording. If your school ensemble has a tape or CD, and you'd like to share it (or sell it) on the NSMEA site, please write us at tammy.duggan@strait.ednet.ns.ca .
