2. The clinic chair will mail you music for each student after the on line registration is complete and the deadline for registration has passed (3/30/10). This will be your verification that the initial registration process is complete.

4. Assess a Registration fee of $43.00 per student who is participating in the North Carolina Honors Band Clinic. One check should be written for each ensemble covering the cost of all students participating in the particular ensemble. This check should be made payable to NCBA Honors Band.

Cash is also acceptable.
