Spring Season Registration

Spring season brings a variety of opportunities to display fine examples of musicianship.  From concert competitions to band reviews, and the newest addition of solo and small ensemble festivals, there is a festival for every ensemble level and you. 

Begin Here

Complete a Registration Form

Complete a Registration Form here.  It helps the Coordinator of Festivals create an efficient schedule to keep each festival site running smoothly and efficiently. 

Adjudication

Use the expertise of the four adjudicators provided by the Northern California Band Association to help enrich your students.

Clinics

After performance, students are given the opportunity to work with an adjudicator who rated their performance. This judge will not only provide expert feedback but also give clear direction in ways to improve.

Sight Reading

Students are given the experience of what it is like to make music in real-time just like professional studio musicians in the optional sight-reading adjudication.

Qualifications

Regardless of student size and ensemble experience-all high school and middle school ensembles are welcome to register: orchestra, concert, and jazz
