2021 ANHE PROGRAM INFORMATION
Where are the 2021 All-National Honor Ensemble final concert videos?
In order to share the 2021 All-National Honor Ensemble final concert videos online, NAfME is required by law to first secure the synchronization licenses for each of the pieces. This has been an ongoing process since the repertoire was first selected in 2021, as staff have been trying to contact the copyright holders for permissions. The videos for which licensing has been secured can be viewed on the NAfME YouTube channel. While we originally wanted to release all of the videos together, we realize that students and their directors and families have been anxiously awaiting these videos. We are doing all we can to secure the remaining permissions as quickly as possible. We greatly appreciate your patience, and apologize for the inconvenience.
