REGISTRATION
Directors must Register and Pay for students in advance. This is
to be done by February 13, 2009. 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.
Registrations are to be mailed along with the registration fee to the
following address:
Barry Montoya
Gregg Middle School
500 Greenwave Blvd.
Summerville, SC 29483.
Any student that is registered for the band clinic but does not attend, without
prior excuse from the chairman, will not be allowed to participate in
any Region or All-State Band activity for a period of one year. Please
report any conflicts to chairman, Barry Montoya, as soon as possible.
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 AND
PATCHES
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 please
plan accordingly.
REGION
BAND T-SHIRTS
