Sound Waves TV Show will air District Performances

Band Parents,

Brevard Public Schools Television is recording our District Performance Assessments for airing on their television channel on a show called Sound Waves.

Sound Waves is a new TV show that showcases the Music Performance Assessment concerts held in February and March 2007.

Here are answers to questions you may have about this show:

When will it premiere?
The first week of June 2007. We will notify all school principals and music teachers with the exact premiere date and show schedule once we know it (probably in early May).

Where can I watch it?
On BPS-TV, Bright House Networks channel 9.

What if I don't get cable TV?
Most schools get cable TV so you may be able to make arrangements to watch it there.

Can I get a DVD of the show?
We will give at least one DVD of a show featuring a school to that schools music director and principal. It will be up to each school if they make copies for anyone else. Viewers can also purchase a DVD for a small fee from the Educational Service Facility in Viera. The exact price and more details will be announced when the show premiers in June.

Can I record the show at home for my own use?
Absolutely! This is the fastest and most economical way to get a copy of the show.

When will the show air on BPS-TV and how will I know when my school is on the show?
In June we will publish showtimes and an episode guide on the webpage you are on right now (www.bpstv.com/soundwaves). Once the show premieres you can also get schedules on our main web site http://www.bpstv.com/. We will also send this information to all school principals and music directors.

Will all of the songs performed by my school be in the show?
We're not sure yet. For timing reasons we may need to drop some of the performances but our goal will be to show as much of the MPA concerts as possible.

How long will Sound Waves air on BPS-TV?
Once we premiere the show it will continue airing in repeats, probably through June 2008 at which point we would premiere the second season of the show featuring 2008 MPA concerts.

Will Sound Waves be streamed on the internet?
We're not sure yet. There may be some copyright restrictions that prevent us from streaming all of the shows on the web. We'll know more about this as we get closer to premiering the show.
