Preparing Printed Programs

Step One: Read the Style Guide

Reading the Style Guide is an important first step!

Step Two: Prepare Your Program According to the Style Guide

The Style Guide has been condensed into these easy fill-in-the blank Microsoft Word files. Please note that they only work on Microsoft Word but does not work on Microsoft Open Office. Recitalists are most welcome to prepare their programs in the Word Processor of their choice, however, they must use the Style Guide above. Questions about style, should be directed to the Reference Librarian, Lisa Philpott.

N.B.: To print the Fill-in-the-Blanks documents without the comments, Choose File > Print > ALT W (or the "Print What" drop-down menu) > Document > OK. You do NOT want it to say "Document and Markups."

N.B.: To show the table borders/lines that you're working with, select Table > Show Gridlines.

Step Three: Printing Your Program onto the Appropriate Template

Print the template, place it in your printer and print your program (see above) onto it.

Step Four: Submit Your Program for Photocopying

Student Credit Recital Programs **NEW IN 2009-10**
Two copies of your correctly formatted printed program should be attached BY PAPERCLIP (not stapled) to your completed Recital Approval Form when it is submitted to the Performance Department Secretary on your appropriate due date. Second year graduate students must also attach a single copy of their program from their first recital to the Recital Approval Package. Photocopies are acceptable.

Undergraduate students will have one of these two copies forwarded to the Media Relations Officer for photocopying on their behalf. Graduate students will receive an e-mail from the Graduate Secretary once their program has been approved inviting them to deliver another copy to the Media Relations Officer.

Please note that any changes to repertoire require filling out the recital approval form, and receiving the necessary signatures, all over again. Contact the Performance Department Secretary for further details about changing your program.

Studio Recital Programs
Instructors are required to make their own photocopies of programs. To access the coloured paper, please speak with Janis Wallace in TC 210. When you're returning the coloured paper to her, please leave seven (7) copies of your program with her for archival purposes; if she's not there, leave them in her mailbox.

All Other Programs
Generally, program information should be submitted to Janis Wallace for copying at least one week in advance of the event.

Step Five: Picking Up Your Program to Take to Your Recital

Photocopied programs will be available for pick up from a tray in the Main Office, TC 210, approximately one-two weeks prior to the recital. It is the performer or event host's responsibility to ensure that they are picked up within the 8:30 - 4:00 time window that the Main Office is open. Programs are no longer delivered to the performance venue for you.
