As you can imagine, running this festival is a lot of work. Timely payment of fees and submission of ticket counts is crucial. Please make sure you have these dates in your calendar.
Friday, November 4th

Participation fees help cover clinician and DVD production costs. All performing bands will receive a DVD of their performance. Bands performing on the Main Stage will receive a DVD with multiple camera angles, recorded with 20+ mics using pro-tools.
Thursday, November 10th
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 Thursday, November 17th, 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 2nd.
