- Region Chairmen will email the audition schedules on or before the first Friday in December. If an error is discovered after the schedule is made available, the director must notify the Region Chairman via e-mail on or before the second Friday in December. After this date, the region audition schedule is final, and no changes of any kind will be made.
- Only the Band Director may register students to audition for Region or All-State Band. Directors are asked to register students for auditions using the Online Registration Form found on Bandlink. This form must be submitted through the website once all the information is correct and complete. Directors will also be required to print a copy of these forms e-mailed to them after submitting online, obtain the appropriate signatures, and either mail them to the Region Chair or upload them as a single PDF on Bandlink. Forms will not be accepted via e-mail. Region Chairs are instructed to return incorrect forms to the director, and his students will not be registered until the deficiencies are corrected.
- An audition fee of $12.00 per student must be included with the registration form or paid online. Make checks payable to SCBDA. Registration fees for the Region Band Clinics are at the discretion of the Region Chairs and will be paid at the completion of all auditions.
- Band Directors are urged to register only those students who, in the director’s opinion, possess the genuine caliber of musicianship that will prove to be an asset to the All-State and Region Bands. The director is also responsible for knowing that each of his/her students is cognizant of all audition requirements.
