Region 12 Tag Contest for August 2019 AIM

Hello Region 12 Arrangers! Welcome to the second Region 12 Tag Arrangement Contest!

Contest Description:
Write a Tag for the song “Blue Bayou”. The Tag will be taught to the Region 12 attendees of AIM August 16-18, 2019

Eligibility:
Participant must be a member in good standing of Pacific Shores Region 12 SAI. Open to all -- Novice arrangers are encouraged to participate!

How to Enter:
Write a Tag of 8 or more bars using the melody found at the end of the song “Blue Bayou”.

Tags will be judged based on the creativity and originality of the arrangement, and showing basic knowledge and appropriate use of Barbershop Chords. The arrangement should support the lyric and the mood of the song.

You may submit one or more tags.

All Tag Arrangements should be submitted no later than 5 p.m. PST on  August  2, 2019 to:

If at all possible, arrangements should be submitted in Finale, Finale PrintMusic or Finale Notepad (free) format. Hardcopy, handwritten, or other format copy will also be accepted, but I claim no responsibility for any resulting transcription errors that might develop during transmission to the judges!

Each Arranger, by submitting a Tag for the contest, represents and warrants that they are the exclusive creator of the submission and that it is solely their own work. Entries become the joint property of the Arranger and of Region 12. Contest entries will not be returned, and may be used at the discretion of the Education Committee without additional compensation.
