[LAC-19] We have a go!

[Bruno Ruviaro]

Hi Romain and all,

Romain, thanks for putting in all this work! Website draft is looking great.

I wanted to bring in another idea to the table -- since SCLOrk
<https://www.scu.edu/cas/music/ensembles/sclork/> (the Santa Clara Laptop
Orchestra) is 100% Linux computers, I would love to make the ensemble
available to LAC composers if there is interest.

One way I could see this happening is: we could mention in the call for
compositions that SCLOrk is available and we will consider new (or old)
laptop orchestra compositions to be performed by SCLOrk during the
conference. If people do submit pieces, and they get accepted by the music
reviewers (and of course, are technically feasible within the time
available), then SCLOrk could perform up to 2 or 3 pieces by LAC composers
in one of the concerts.

SCLOrk (as an SCU class) conveniently meets in the Winter (January-March),
so if pieces are accepted for LAC, I would incorporate them into our
regular rehearsal schedule in the 10 weeks preceding LAC.

Let me know what you all think.

Best,

Bruno
