Recital Program and Promotional Guidelines
- Use the Student Recital Program Template (under the PDF section to the right) to create your program. Please refer to the Sample Recital Program PDF and Recital Program Style Sheet PDF for formatting questions.
- Print copies of your program, double-sided to include the accessibility statement on the back, on a cream/beige color to stay consistent with all other programs. Copies of your program can be left on a stand outside of your recital venue.
- The week of your recital, email a copy to griffithjs@missouri.edu for archival purposes and for the FAB lobby display case (if applicable).
- If you would like to create a slide to promote your recital on the SMC or FAB lobby screens and online calendar, please follow these guidelines (if you do not submit a slide, a generic one will not be made for you):
- Size for TVs - 1920x1080 pixels; PNG format
- Size for calendar - 956x620 pixels; PNG format
- Submit two images (sized for tv AND calendar) to Joanna Griffith (griffithjs@missouri.edu). Screens are changed once a week on Fridays. Please send your image by 10am on the Thursday prior to when you would like it to be advertised. Please include the date, time, location, and name of your collaborative pianist (if applicable) on your slide.
- Please name your files using the following format:

Recital Scheduling
1. Non-percussion recitals are allowed time in the performance space 30 minutes prior to recital time and one hour after recital start. I.e. a 2:00 pm recital would be reserved from 1:30-3:00 pm so there is sufficient time for the next recital to prepare. One week before the recital, if the room is still available, the reservation can be extended per email request to Susan Worstell, worstells@missouri.edu. Percussion recitals are allowed 2 hours in the hall prior to the recital starting for setup. It is recommended that percussion recitals start at 12:30, or 7:00 to allow for this extra time.
2. To see all events scheduled in either recital hall or off campus – choose the views setting in EMS. Instructions are included in the tutorial found at EMS Calendar Tutorial, around 5:15 marker.
3. There is a maximum of 5 recitals per day in order to allow for sufficient staff support.
