TRANSCRIPT
To All Participants, After my last letter to all of you regarding our annual branch project, things started to pour in and believe it or not, a total of 323 love packed shoe boxes were being loaded up on Sat. 11/17/12 and taken to one of the local OCC centres in Arcadia. As always, mother and daughter pair of Dorothy and Carrie Lui brought in a total of 105 boxes on Monday 11/12/12. I am sorry if I am such a “hustler”, hopefully just once a year at this time, as I’m sure it means a lot to many of us teachers and students to be able to bring some joy, es-pecially to orphans who would otherwise go without a present during the upcoming festive season. I am touched with some new participating branch teachers one who even drove by twice to drop off her contribution from her studio. A teacher who recently just had a baby also drove by to bring some joy to the less fortunate. When the Youtube video is ready to be viewed, I will acknowledge all participants accordingly. Please thank all your students and their parents for making this hap-pen again in 2012. Wishing you the very best in this Holiday Season and may all your dreams come true in 2013! Greatefully,
Rosemary Yang (your annual branch hustler)

2013 Los Angeles Branch Bach Festival
Some General Rules:
The Festival is open to students of active, provisional or student members of the MTAC Los Angeles Branch.
This includes active members who are contributors to the Los Angeles branch.
Student must have studied with their current teacher at least 6 months, unless by consent of the former teacher.
Students may play any original or transcriptions of J.S. Bach’s music, or music of other Baroque composers
within the 5 minute time limit. However, to be eligible to be considered to be chosen to play at the Re-
gional Festival (2nd round), the following exceptions must be upheld:
(1) No music from the Anna Magdalena Bach Notebook, ANH 113-132
(2) No transcriptions other than those made by J. S. Bach himself from his own works.
(3) No works by other Baroque composers.
Music need not be limited to the Complete Works Audition Official List of Bach's works in order to be
eligible for the Regional Festival. Music from the current Official List is required only at the Complete
Works Audition (CWA) [3rd round].
To be eligible for the CWA, students with works from the Complete Works List for the current year (2013)
must be a winner at the Regional Festival. Students must perform the same music as played in Branch and
Regional for Complete Works Audition, but now complete as shown on the Official List. For example, a
student may play an Invention (or Sinfonia) in the Branch and Regional level, but must play both Invention
and Sinfonia in the CWA, if he/she reaches that level. For the Official List of works for CWA, go to http://
www.scjbf.org/cwa.htm. [link]
Music must be performed by memory. Students do not need to provide music books to the judges. The Branch
chair will contact teachers if he/she has a student winner.
In the Branch level, Judges will select at least 35% of eligible students to play in the Regional Festival in
May. Branch winners must perform exactly the same music for the Regional level. In the event a branch
winner is unable to compete in the Regional level, an Alternate winner may be selected to take his/her
place. In the Regional level, judges will select 45% to be eligible to participate in the Complete Works
Audition in the Fall (early October).
Branch performers will receive a trophy for their participation. After the judges’ selections, branch winners
(the selected 35%) will receive rosettes; alternates and honorable mentions will receive award certificates
and ribbons.
