                                    • BRING A CLEARLY MARKED MUSIC STAND.
                                    • All percussion equipment will be furnished except snare drums and mallets. Have your own
                                    sticks for snare drum and mallets for the keyboards.
                                    • One band director from each participating school must be on campus at all times.
                                    • All students must be present and on time for the concert and all rehearsals.
                                    • If you cannot attend the clinic due to illness or emergency, notify your band director. Band
                                    directors should notify the executive council immediately of cancellations so that alternates
                                    may be notified.
                                    • Name tags must be worn at all times.
                                    • BRING A PENCIL!
                                    • Students are expected to be on their best behavior during concerts, rehearsals, and breaks.
                                    We are guests on campus and will behave like young ladies and gentlemen during the clinic
                                    weekend. Students whose behavior becomes a detriment to the clinic experience will be sent
                                    home, and your directors will be notified.
