Reminders
  • You should bring the following items with you to the registration desk. Forms are available on the website. Please have all forms filled out and ready to present upon arrival.
    • MENC card
    • 4-year Repertoire Sheet (list selections for 2006, 2007, 2008 and this year. If your band did not attend any of those years, indicate so on the form).
    • Repertoire Slip/Instrumentation Slip (you need 3 copies of this)
    • Seating chart
    • 3 Sets of scores with measures numbered. If you have a photocopied score, you must have a letter from the publisher granting permission to photocopy.
  • If you do not have a current MENC card, take care of getting your documentation now. If you cannot produce proof of current membership, your scores will be held until it can be determined whether or not you are disqualified. The chairman will not have time to take care of this during festival.
  • Instrument cases should be left on the buses. After your band has performed, instruments should be returned to the bus; no instruments should be brought into the auditorium.
  • We will provide the following percussion equipment: bass drum, 4 timpani, concert bells, chimes, xylophone, and gong. You should bring your own snares, cymbals, mallets, and accessory percussion. If you are not sure about a piece of equipment, contact me.
  • You will receive a professional recording (CD) of your stage performance along with a tape from each judge. Bands receiving a rating of "Superior" will receive a plaque. All bands will receive a certificate for participating.
  • A concession stand WILL be available this year. We will post a list of available items on the website a few days prior to the event.
  • The area reserved for judges is for judges and their assistants only.
  • Please impress upon your students the importance of proper behavior in the auditorium. Also, they should be quiet in the lobby area. No one will be allowed to enter or leave the auditorium during performances. Please help your students understand that when a band finishes playing, the judges are still talking on the tapes and working to finalize the band's evaluation; therefore, the auditorium needs to remain quiet so they can do their work.
  • Parents and other guests are not allowed in the sight reading room.
  • No dressing facilities are provided. The restrooms are not adequate for changing clothes. Please arrive on campus dressed to perform.
  • We must keep the festival running on schedule. If you arrive late, you will be expected to perform at your scheduled time whether or not you have had an adequate warm-up. If you arrive after your scheduled performance time, you will have to wait until the end of the day to perform, pending approval by the judges. Put some extra travel time in your schedule to allow for all of those unforeseen problems that always occur when dealing with middle schoolers!
  • Please refer to the District website for all of the rules pertaining to festival.
  • If you decide to withdraw from the contest, please notify me as soon as possible. It is very frustrating to have no-shows on the day of the event.
  • If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me. With my schedule during this time of year, you will probably get the quickest reply if you use my school email (ddavis@ecps.us). If you call my school, please do not get upset with my secretaries when they refuse to get me out of class... remember, I'm trying to get bands prepared for festival too! My phone numbers and email are on the Contact Us page of the website.
