The deadline for applications is January 11, 2002. Students will be selected for participation based on their application and recommendation by their school band directors. Students from all states are eligible. All schools submitting application forms will be guaranteed representation in the final selection of participants. Students will be notified of the final selection by January 19, 2002.
Band directors are welcome to all concerts, master classes and rehearsals during the weekend.
