1. There will be two 150-175 piece clinic bands (equal in size/balance) which will rehearse with both conductors during the morning and early afternoon.  A brief concert including both festival bands and the NSU Symphonic Band with soloist Mathew Erickson will conclude the festivities.

2. Each school will be allowed to nominate up to 20 students.  Nominations are due by October 29, 2007.  The instrumentation of the bands will be based entirely on director nomination and past experience of the student nominated.  EVERY student nominated will be chosen to participate, so please nominate only your most outstanding and deserving students.  We must have two quality bands capable of putting together a program in a limited amount of rehearsal time. Since all nominated students will be accepted, please place them in hierarchical order from strongest to weakest and by section. Also, please nominate upperclassmen when possible.

3. Registration is online  
4. Registration  cost is $10 per student due after online registration is submitted.
