GCFS's Members Recital - it's Just Us!
We last gathered back in 2024 at the historic Brownhoist for an afternoon of music. This year, we're going to be at The Bop Stop for our annual members recital.
The first part of the program will feature GCFS members and friends performing solo or small ensemble pieces (The Bop Stop has a nice piano in case you need one). The second half of the program will be a flute choir. Music will be provided in advance so you can print/rehearse on your own (as this part of the program will not have any kind of rehearsal).
You should include the title, composer of music to be played, your name, and the names of other musicians playing with you for our printed program. Members can bring non-members to collaborate on the recital or to play with the flute choir at no cost. If a non-member would like to perform a solo, the performer fee is $10.
For the flute choir, please list instruments you are willing to play (piccolo, C flute, alto, bass, contrabass) on the registration form. Please bring a music stand as sharing is not optimal. You can arrive between 1-1:50 to do a sound check and check tuning.
Not about the flute, but important: Bring/invite someone who loves the flute or loves a flute player.
Musicians love having an audience, so bring your friends! The concert is free and open to the public.
Please note parking is limited with additional parking on the street.
**************
Each performer is encouraged to play a maximum of 7 minutes in length.




Tips for Live Performances over Zoom
-A wired internet connection with an Ethernet cable is often better than wi-fi.
-An external microphone is better than a built-in microphone since it has a wider frequency and dynamic range. Make sure your microphone is set to "automatically adjust microphone volume" in your Audio Settings.
-Make sure you have turned on Original Sound. To do this, go to your Audio Settings, scroll down to the Music and Professional Audio section, and click the box that says "Show in meeting option to turn on Original Sound." Once you have selected this option, exit your audio settings. You should see a box in the upper left-hand corner of your screen that says "Turn on Original Sound." You want Original Sound to be on, so make sure the box turns blue.
Tips for Pre-Recorded (Video) Performances
-We recommend you record in 1080p or 720p. This is the default for most smartphones.
-An external microphone is better than a built-in microphone since it has a wider frequency and dynamic range.
-If you are recording on a smartphone, place your phone in the 'landscape' or horizontal orientation for best results.
