OHM (Organization of Hindu Malayalees)
14th Swati Tirunal Day, Apr 30, 2005
Hoover School, Lakewood, CA

Performer Instructions:

MOST Important instruction:   There is serious time crunch this time and we will be enforcing a ONE MINUTE STRICT LIMIT on raaga aalaapanas! .. Sorry about this - we do know that this is an important aspect in singing a song, and have generally not asked you to cut down in the past at the ST Days.  It is only because we are out of options that we are having to do it this time.  And please do NOT ask your violinists to do repeat aalaapanas.  Do a quick aalaapanam to clear your throat and go to the song immediately.  PLEASE! (Also, please consider it a nice challenge and a learning experience, doing quick aalaapanams -- Listen to some of Ariyakkudi's old 3 minute "plate" recordings if you need reference on how to do it!)

Important Instruction II:  All the mrudangams will be tuned to the western scales.  Please check what your shruti is, on the western scales [Here are the shrutis --1 katta = C,  2 = D,  3 = E,  4 = F, 5 = G, 6 = A.  The half kattas are as in 4.5 = F sharp].  There will be an official electronic shruti box with western scales in the back room for you to check your shruti.  If your shruti is not listed below, you have to find it at least 15 minutes prior to your song and let the organizers know, so that proper mrudangams can be organized.  Please email (jaykay @ translab.its.uci.edu) us with your shruti earlier.  If we had listed your shruti in last year's program and it has not changed, you don't need to do anything.  Thank you!

Important Instruction III:  Please inform us backstage if you have not talked to the accompanying artists.  Please be back stage at least two songes ahead of your turn - or we may simply assume you are not present and drop the item; then we will amost surely not have time to squeeze in your item later!
