REGISTRATION

Directors must pre-register their students for the region clinic. This is to be done by February 8, 2008. Registration are to be mailed to me along with the registration fee to the following address:
                        Barry Montoya
                        Gregg Middle School
                        500 Greenwave Blvd.
                        Summerville, SC 29483.

The registration fee is $6.00 per student. (Only one check per school.) Alternates must be registered and pay the fee in order to participate in the clinic.

ALTERNATES

Alternates will need to go to the assigned rehearsal areas for their level (Clinic or Senior) when they arrive.   On Saturday, alternates have the option to attend rehearsals, but they must be here for the entire day on Friday in order for your school to receive their OPA Points. Remember that alternates must be registered for the clinic and pay the $6.00 fee in order to  participate.

DIRECTIONS

Charleston Southern University is located just off Interstate 26 at Exit 205.  Go east on highway 78 when exiting I-26.  Turn left onto the campus at the stoplight and enter the main gates to CSU. 

The best place to drop students off is behind the Strom Thurmond Building.  It will be congested but this is the closest spot to the Lightsey Chapel lobby.  The Library parking lot is also useful and will be less congested.  Buses can temporarily park in the grass along the back road until students disembark.  Then they must go to the parking lot.

BEHAVIOR

We will be guests of Charleston Southern University for this weekend.  Please review the SC Musicians Handbook which explains students' attendance and behavior at all SCBDA events.

All Directors are needed to help monitor student behavior.  Please attend all rehearsals to assist clinicians with any problems.  All cell phones must be turned off when students are rehearsing.  Students violating the conduct code will be dismissed from their respective band(s) and become the sole responsibility of their director or parent. 

RECORDINGS

The 2008 Region 4 Band concert will be recorded again this year.  Information will be available on the day of the concert.

MEDALS, PATCHES AND T-SHIRTS

Directors will need to order their Region medals and/or patches directly from Jostens for their students. This is a change from previous years, so plan accordingly.

REGION BAND T-SHIRTS

Region Band T-shirts will be sold this year by through Custom Printwear. More information will be available at the clinic.
 

 MORE INFORMATION

Students should bring all of their equipment; extra reeds, valve oil, slide oil, cork grease, sticks, mallets, mutes, etc...
