REGISTRATIONS

All registrations are to be done in advance. These are to be postmarked by February 6, 2009.  No unregistered student will be seated in the region band. The registration fee is $7.00 per student.  Make checks payable to Eastern Region Band Directors.  Should you have any students who need to cancel, please send their name(s) to region chairman Mike Jones in via email bdjock@aol.com. This will allow him to move up alternates in advance and make the beginning of the clinic run more smoothly.  

ALTERNATES

The Senior Alternate Band will consist of alternates from the Senior and Clinic levels.  The Junior Alternate Band alternates will consist of middle school students.   Students that earned a seat in the All-State Band may participate in the alternate band by sitting in the last chairs of each section if they wish to do so. All alternates must attend the clinic to receive a medal and for your band to receive OPA credit. Attendance will be checked in rehearsals. ALTERNATES ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND.  EVERYONE WHO ATTENDS WILL GET TO PLAY AND WILL NOT SIT AROUND DOING NOTHING!!!

BEHAVIOR

Directors are reminded that SCBDA rules require that all students attending any SCBDA event must be chaperoned at all times.  This means that you must stay on site with your students.  You should not leave for lunch, or anywhere else, unless you take your students with you.  Should an emergency arise, you should notify Mike Jones immediately and provide him the name of the adult who will be responsible for your students while you are gone.
 

TAPES AND CD's

Orders for CD’s of both the Alternate Band and Honors Band Concerts will be available at the clinic. The cost is $25.  They are being recorded and produced by Inner Sanctum Productions from Mt. Pleasant (Charleston), SC.
 

MEDALS, PATCHES

Medals and patches will be sold to Directors at the conclusion of their meeting on Friday. Please check with your students in advance and plan to make your purchases at this time. Individual sales to students and parents will also be done on Saturday morning and afternoon.  Medals and Patches may also be purchased from Jostens any time after the conclusion of the clinic.  (see the Handbook for an order form)

REGION BAND T-SHIRTS

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