We will send you instructions on how to enter and/or update your contact data and group information after receiving your application.

Several questions ask for names of performers or groups. It's important to make sure these entries match the NEFFA Performer Index for existing performers. When you type a name in these fields, the system will pop up a box of possible matches, if any are found. If you can't find someone who you think should be in the master database, it may help if you visit this page and hunt around: NEFFA Performer Index

Your name *

For our convenience, please use the format Lastname COMMA Firstname (as in Cannon,Jon with no embedded space).

If this application is for an individual or duo, this should be the main performer name. If for a group, this should be the name of the group leader.

Our standard for recording names is LAST, then a comma, then FIRST, and we don't put a space after the comma.

Your email address *

What is the best phone number at which to reach you? *

Should the performer for this event be listed as an individual, a duo, or a named group? *

The individual applying
A an-hoc duo consisting of the individual applying and another performer
A group
The Duo category is for use when two performers are getting together for a special event at NEFFA, but don't want to bother with choosing a group name. Duos are free to use the Group category, if desired.

Other performers (besides group members) supporting this event (optional)

For our convenience, please use the format Lastname COMMA Firstname (as in Cannon,Jon with no embedded space).

Is there an unbilled accompanist or temporary addition to your band who will be joining you for NEFFA? If this event is scheduled, these people will not be simultaneously scheduled for other events in the same time slot. You can list one person here, then put any additional names in the comment section at the end. If this application is for a group, don't list the members here -- you'll receive a link by email that will allow you to manage your membership list.

What category best describes this particular application? *

Dance band proposing a session requiring no additional caller or teacher
Dance band proposing to play for a session led by a caller or teacher (who is not a member of the band)
Dance caller or teacher
Ritual dance (including morris, rapper, etc)
Dance performance (indoors)

The answer to this question may be different on other applications; please choose the option that best fits with this application only. Please note that dance bands and callers/dance leaders MUST SUBMIT SEPARATE APPLICATIONS unless the caller is in the band. If a caller wants to work with a specific band, they can specify that below.

These hours refer to the times that you are available to perform. Please note that the greater your availability, the greater the likelihood that you will be scheduled. If some times are better than others, mark them Preferred. You must make a selection for every timeslot.
