Solo/Ensemble Software

Version 4.1 of the Data Entry Program is now available for download. This is a FREE update for users of Version 4.x. All high school and middle school directors must install this update in order to participate in Solo and Ensemble events this year.

Among the new features included in this version:

• Over 100 corrections to the high school required list.
• Integrated update checker that informs you of new updates
• New copy and paste method of creating your checkout files
• Complete Vista and Leopard compatibility

The scheduling program used by the solo and ensemble chairs will NOT import data created by non-updated versions of the Data Entry Program. You will have to update your program and resubmit your checkout file. While you won't have to re-enter all your performer information, it is much easier to update FIRST. This will ultimately save you (and the event chair) time and stress!

It is STRONGLY recommended that directors install the
update as soon as possible. This will help prevent last
minute struggles to get IT departments to install the update.
