I recorded back when I drummed for the Mt. Hood Community College Jazz program, and also in my high school. I don't think it was ever released, because I only spent a month or two in the MHCCJP. We recorded twice, once for Birdland, the second was another classic, Song for my Father. I as at the Jazz program because they needed a drummer for a month and a half-ish while theirs was touring with someone, but I'm still in highschool. As far as high school goes, we recorded only a single song in the studio, Clam Chowder, which was a sight reading piece. I didn't buy a recording of it, but my teacher has it. He might have uploaded it to Youtube, so I'll have to check around.
But my point is, I have been inside a recording studio and know how it works. I know my 12 basic scales and can hear wrong notes, being a percussionist I played bells and timpani in a few songs, so no need to worry about being able to read notes. Are contests also going to submit sheet music with their submissions?
