Reports due - Send to your Province President.  For specific due dates, refer to the Chapter President’s checklist, IB351

             Fall - IB380 Report of proposed Music Activities
            Spring - IB381 Report of Music Activities for the Year.  Keep a running record throughout the year on this report form and send it at the end of the year.

 Both IB380 and IB381 must be submitted in order to qualify for the Music Award given annually.

 Please note the following instructions:

1. Plan ahead. Use everyone in your chapter and do not overwork any Delta Omicron member.
2. Continue to have music in your business meetings (following the devotions or at the end of the meeting), rush parties, banquets, and other social events, in addition to regular monthly musicales.
3. Please be on time with your reports.  It counts against the chapter’s efficiency record when you fail to turn the report into the office of the Province President.
4. You need a musicale for every month of your school year -- closed or open musicales.  These musicales can be in the form of lectures, practice sessions, actual performances, etc.  If there is a scheduling problem each month, combine the musicale with the business meeting.  Remember, Junior/Senior Recitals in your music department cannot count as D.O. musicales.
5.  Attempt at least two open musicales a year.  This is good publicity for Delta Omicron.
6.  Attempt to document your programs by typing or making a copy of the program.  Send one copy with monthly publicity reports.
7. MUSIC SERVICE - involve members performing. (Ushering is not counted as music service.)
