Depending on the numbers of choirs performing, each choir will have the opportunity of performing for up to 10 minutes.  This can be a cappella, with piano (a grand piano is available for use at the venue) or with backing tracks.  Choirs will be notified of exactly how long their allocated slot will be in the choir information pack sent around 14 days prior to the festival.  Around 2 weeks prior to the event, choir leaders will be contacted and asked if they plan to use backing tracks or piano for their performance. Should backing tracks be chosen, then a link will be provided to upload them to us.  They can be supplied in .mp3, .mp4 or .wav formats.
