Thank you for choosing to participate in what has become one of the premier marching band events in the Southeast!

The Southern Star Invitational has been designed to provide not only the marching bands but also their directors and instructors an enjoyable and memorable experience.

Highlights

StarGuides, both adults and students, will be assigned to accompany each band from their arrival through their post-performance seating. StarGuides will know the schedule and logistical plan for their band and will be equipped with wireless communications to answer any questions or resolve any problems immediately with the show coordinator.

Catered, private rooms will be available for band directors and instructors throughout the show.

Directors and instructors will have access to their own rooms in the press box, separate from the judges, with exclusive elevator service.

Directors and instructors will have the opportunity to personally discuss their band’s show and performance with the judges, leaders in the marching arts, in an informal and casual setting.

Register early to reserve your band’s place in this year’s Southern Star Invitational, Excellence in Education, Entertainment, and Competition. All you have to do is have your director complete the online Registration Form!

Once the registration form is received, we will contact the director by e-mail or telephone within 48 hours to confirm the registration. Then, we will send a registration package with more detailed information.

All registrations and fees are due on or before September 19, 2008. Registrations received after that will be accepted on space availability.

All performing artists, directors, and staff members will receive complementary passes. Chaperones and bus drivers will also receive complimentary passes up to the GMEA ratio of 1 pass for every 10 performing artists.
