As you can imagine, running this festival is a lot of work. Please do everything you can to submit payments and forms on time. If you know you're going to be late with a payment, please let me know.
Friday, November 5th
Please email me with the FINAL number of tickets (participation price and full price) you will be purchasing. Please do not guess or estimate! This is extremely important, as tickets for the evening concert will go on sale to the public on Friday, November 19th, and this concert almost always sells out! Each band will automatically receive one director's comp. ticket. Please DO NOT include this in your ticket count. Performing students, along with a reasonable number of chaperones, will receive "participant" ($15) tickets. All other students and adults can purchase full price ($25) tickets. Payment is not due until December 3rd.
