Instructions from the Navarro Band Director:

·         Once you have arrived, please proceed through the courtyard (between the Events Center and the New Gym) to the Cafeteria (glass windows and glass doors). This will be the student gathering/warm-up area. Students are to REMAIN in this area unless they are in the audition room. (If the weather permits, they may sit right outside the cafeteria on the patio.) Our Band Boosters will have concessions available inside of the cafeteria. PLEASE REMIND YOUR STUDENTS TO STAY OFF OF THEIR INSTRUMENTS ONCE THEY HAVE AUDITIONED. The cafeteria is not a separate building; it is “open”. We are a little concerned that some noise might bleed through to the audition rooms. If they stay off of their instruments, this will help tremendously.

·         There will be signs posted with room numbers for audition and holding rooms. (See below.) Students will SIGN-IN for the contest at their respective holding rooms, with the exception of the trumpets. Trumpets will sign-in at a table in the Cafeteria. We will have at least one Parent/director assigned to each audition room and holding room.

INSTRUMENT	HOLDING ROOM	AUDITION ROOM
Flutes (upstairs)	406	401
Clarinets (upstairs)	405	404

Alto Saxes	604	605
Tenor & Bari Sax                      506                                                 507
Trumpets	Library	Library
All Trombones	205	211

If students need to contact their director, they may come to the office (across from the library) to relay a message.
