Do I need an accompanist?

A Central Coast Conservatorium of Music (CCCM) accompanist will be available for performers in all categories.

If a CCCM accompanist is provided for your event, there will be no charge on the day of your performance.

If you require a CCCM accompanist, please indicate this on your registration form.

CCCM accompanists can be contacted for rehearsal prior to your event. Once your section and time slot has been confirmed, CCCM will email you with the details of your accompanist.

Meeting with an CCCM accompanist outside of the event will be at your own negotiated cost and must occur on-site at Central Coast Conservatorium.

You must confirm with your accompanist; the repertoire you will be performing and in what event you will feature that repertoire. Entrants must provide a copy of their music to the accompanist prior to their performance date.

Can I use a backing track?

Vocalists and instrumentalists can use a recorded backing track.

Please indicate on your registration form if a recorded backing track will be provided.

Backing tracks must not have any recorded vocals. Recorded backing tracks are to be uploaded to the Central Coast Instrufest Portal no later than 10 days prior to the event.

Files should be in MP3 format. Please use the following format when naming your file: Category_Entrant name_Item 1 (Title_Artist /Composer/Lyricist) ( eg :Contemporary Vocal_ Liz Star_Hurt_Christina Aguilera). All entrants should bring copies of all backing tracks on a USB, labelled as per the above, for contingency purposes.
