THE SIXTH ANNUAL BURGES BAND FESTIVAL
The Burges Band Festival will be held on Friday & Saturday, March 20 &21, 2015. You may perform for ratings or for comments only. We will use music from past years UIL Sight reading lists. We are very flexible and we will work with you to make your participation an excellent educational experience for your students and for you.
Beginning Bands are welcome - sight reading included. If you would like to go through the entire sight reading process and just play a few lines or section of the music, you may do that. The experience of know what goes on in the sight reading room is a great value for the students when they get to their middle school band and the director keeps talking about sight reading.
The entry fee is $220 and will include a professional recording, a trophy (participation or rating) constructive comments for both concert performance and sight reading and a video recording of you and your group during the explanation and performance of the sight reading portion of the festival.
The ENTRY deadline is March 2, 2015 and the Performance schedule will be posted and sent to participating schools on March 4.
The Entry FEE Deadline is March16, 2015.
