As adopted by the General Band MembershipSaturday, January 12, 2008.Distict Band Festival – Cameron County High SchoolSelection ProceduresPMEA District 2 - Band Selection Procedures1. The following forms must be completed in their entirety: the Student Contract, Student Medical Form, and Director’s Preference Sheet. All paperwork must be to the host director, postmarked on or before September 21 of each year. If the 21st of the month falls on a Sunday, a postmark of September 22nd will be accepted. Any school whose director has not submitted their paperwork to the host director prior to the selection meeting, which is held on the first Sunday of October, will not be permitted to participate in the festival.2. When completing the Director’s Preference List, the director should indicate the order in which he wishes the students to be selected. This should be done keeping in mind the selection process described below. Being aware that some sections close quickly, directors should list enough names to reach their quota if they have qualified students. Foreign exchange students are part of the school’s quota. For each student, list their primary instrument, and then any additional instruments for which you wish that student to be considered. For instruments that have more than one part, list the parts along with that instrument, in the order in which you want the student to be considered , e.g. Cornet 1,2,3; Clarinet 2,3,1, etc. 3. Up-to-date enrollment figures (grades 10, 11, 12) are to be provided on the Director’s Preference Sheet. If they are not, the latest figures available to the selection committee will be used to determine that school’s quota. The breakdown is shown below:School Size Number of ParticipantsI. 0-500: 3II. 501-1000: 4 III. 1001-1500: 5 IV. 1501-2000: 64. The size (158 players) and instrumentation of the band is predetermined. The District 2 Band has the same instrumentation as the Region Band. The only time this is changed is in order to accommodate size problems on the host school stage, to accommodate courtesy appointments as described below, host school complimentary appointments (quota plus half) or to accommodate special needs to perform a particular piece of music. Piccolo - 2 Flute I - 8 Flute II - 8 Oboe I - 2 Oboe II - 2 Bassoon I - 2 Bassoon II - 2 Eb Clarinet - 2 Clarinet I - 8 Clarinet II - 10 Clarinet III - 12 Alto Clarinet - 6 Bass Clarinet - 6 Contra Clarinet - 4 Alto Saxophone I - 4 Alto Saxophone II - 4 Tenor Saxophone - 4 Baritone Saxophone - 2 Cornet I - 4 Cornet II - 4 Cornet III - 4 Trumpet I - 2 Trumpet II - 2 Horn I - 4 Horn II - 4 Horn III - 4 Horn IV - 4 Trombone I - 4 Trombone II - 4 Trombone III – 4Baritone - 8 Tuba - 8 String Bass - 2 Percussion - 85. Selection ProcessA. Returning students who placed in the top half of their instrument at the previous Region BandReturning students who placed in the top half of their instrument at the previous year’s Region Band will be automatically included on the same instrument in the current year’s District 2 Band, as long as they are 1) listed by their director on the Director’s Preference Sheet, and 2) listed on the same instrument in the primary instrument column. It is permissible for them to be listed on a different part on that instrument, e.g., a student who played Clarinet 3 and placed in the top half of all clarinets at the previous year’s Region Band will be an automatic selection for this year’s District 2 Band on Clarinet 1, 2 or 3, at the director’s discretion. These students should be listed first on their school’s Director’s Preference Sheet and noted as such. They will be placed in the Band before the selection process begins. If a returning student placed in the top half of their instrument at the previous year’s Region Band, and the director wishes them to be selected on a different instrument, they will not be considered automatically on that different instrument. They must go through the selection process. For the purposes of this determination, each of the various clarinets and saxophones, as well as flute and piccolo are considered to be different instruments. In the event that the number of these returning students who desire to be on the same instrument part exceeds the number of seats in that instrument part (Flute 1,2; Clarinet 1,2,3; Alto Sax 1,2; Cornet 1,2,3; Trumpet 1,2; Trombone 1,2,3; French Horn I, II, III, IV), the students’ scores at the previous year’s Region Band will be the determining factor in deciding on which part these students are placed.These returning students will count toward their school’s quota. However, the school does not forfeit its place in the selection rotation described below. The next available student on the Director’s Preference Sheet will be that school’s 1st round choice unless that school’s quota has been filled by returning Region 。
