Band Families,

1. Concert Band - 8:30AM-1:10PM (Students will eat during 2nd lunch)
2. Symphonic Winds - 11:30AM-3:45PM (Students will eat during 2nd Lunch)

Things to Know about the event
Similar to marching band state, this festival gathers groups of schools who fall in our division (based on school size) and brings them together to perform for adjudication. Our guest clinician for this year's event is Corey Pompey, Associate Director of Bands at the University of Wisconsin Madison. Each band will receive a 30 min clinic with one of the guest clinicians after their performance.
In addition to these two clinicians we will be adjudicated and scored by three state sanctioned judges. Each group will be provided a rating I - V. This rating will be accompanied by recorded feedback and score sheets for student growth.
All students will need to arrive at school in concert attire and ensure that they have both music and instruments. This event is our yearly adjudication and is an excellent opportunity for us to display the hard work and dedication your students spend in music to both our guests and to our state organization.
All instruments stored inside the band room or Jazz room (Percussion, Tuba, Contrabass Clarinet) will need to be removed prior to the start of the event at 8:30AM. As the band room and jazz room will be used as a warm up for other visiting groups we will not have access to them throughout the day, please plan accordingly. Instruments stored in band locker rooms or in halfway lockers do not apply.
After we conclude our portion of the performance and adjudication students will have the opportunity to watch other bands performances. It is important that we watch and support our guests.
