upload competition music - constant...
TRANSCRIPT
Follow the instructions below to upload a music file for each of your com-
petition entries. We encourage you to try this new tool that we hope will
take some stress out of your weekend!
How Does It Work?
You will receive a separate email from Dropbox with a link to your own private, secure studio folder for the upcoming Convention Weekend. Click the link at the bottom of the email to ac-cess your secure studio folder- this folder is private and can only be accessed by NYCDA and you. Then, just three SIMPLE steps!
1. Create a Dropbox account.
2. Download Dropbox to your computer.
3. Upload your competition music to your studio folder .
In More Detail……
1. How do I create a Dropbox account? (If you already have one, just sign in)
A Dropbox account allows you to upload music to the NYCDA studio folder that was sent to you in your email.
Click on the link in the Dropbox email. Select “create an account” on the top right corner of the page. Enter your name, password and email address you would like to use. (It does NOT have to
be the same email listed for your NYCDA registration.) 2. How do I download & install Dropbox? (Not already a Dropbox user)
Make sure you install the Dropbox desktop application. It creates a new folder on your computer called Dropbox. Your Dropbox folder works just like any other folder on your hard drive, except everything in your Dropbox folder automatically syncs to the web and to any other computer with Dropbox installed.
On the same page, Click #2 “Install Dropbox”. The download should start in seconds. Let the program download. Once it is finished click “Run”. Choose “2 GB” free version. After clicking next, choose the “Typical” option and install. Click “Next” to skip entering a phone number. You do NOT need to link to your mobile. Click thru the small tutorial. Once you finish, your Dropbox folder will automatically open.
Upload Competition Music
3. How do I upload music?
It's easy to add files to Dropbox! Move your music files simply by dragging and dropping them into your Dropbox folder. That's it! The files in your Dropbox folder will automatically be synced online and to your studio’s NYCDA Dropbox folder. Or, you can even use the “Save As..” menu option in most applications to save files directly to your Dropbox folder.
Keep your new Dropbox folder open. You should see your personal studio folder which is titled with the convention city, your studio name and studio code.
[i.e. New York City – A – Dance Studio]
In another window, find and open all of your competition music files on your computer. You will need to make sure that you files are formatted correctly- it’s very easy, as long as it plays in iTunes or QuickTime, it will be play on our system! Acceptable Formats include WAVE, AIFF, MP3, etc.
Drag and drop each file into your studio’s Dropbox folder. This will automatically save these files to the web as well as your computer.
IMPORTANT! RENAME each file with the entry number, title and studio code in the following format. (Note that all entry numbers must contain three digits.)
001 – New York, New York – A.mp3 014 – Dancin’ Machine – D.m4a 145 – Over the Rainbow – J.WAVE
DO NOT take off the file name extentions (i.e. .mp3, .m4a, etc)
Once these files are dropped in the studio folder and labeled correctly, you are DONE! The files will automatically be linked to the web and to the NYCDA Dropbox account.
Music MUST be uploaded by 12 pm on the Wednesday PRIOR
to your Convention.
Please still be prepared with Backups for your music onsite at the Convention!
***If this system is not for you, please bring one USB with ALL competition music on it. All entries should be properly labeled PRIOR to the weekend in the format outlined above.

No More CD’s!!!
Please list the entry title(s) and a short description of the prop(s) that will be used:
Our goal is to always have performances run as smoothly and professionally as possible. Please be advised of the following guidelines regarding props: Studios are responsible for the transportation storage, setup and removal of all sets
and props. It is the studio’s responsibility to provide an adequate crew for the prop.
Studios are responsible for the cleaning of the stage following a number that creates “stage litter.”
Some venues have specific times when props can be loaded in. Please contact Travis at the NYCDA office for more information.
NYCDA cannot be held responsible if a venue does not allow a prop in because of ei-ther union rules or safety concerns.
Some venues require a union crew to load/unload trucks. If your prop cannot be carried into the venue by one person, please contact Travis at the NYCDA office. It may be possible to coordinate the unloading of your truck with the unloading of our truck.
Set piece and props requiring more than 30 seconds to setup/strike may result in a 5 point deduction from your overall score. If you feel you may need additional time, please make that note in the section above as we may be able to schedule the piece around a break.
