We do offer Contest Protection. For Regional Protection, we require your location and contest/festival circuit as well as your specific contest/festival schedule once you have it finalized. If you are attending national regionals and/or finals, we offer Contest Protection as long as we know your full contest schedule intentions up front. Obviously, we never want any band to participate in a contest or festival in which another band is performing the same music. We take this very seriously, and please help us ensure this does not happen by proving as much information about your competition schedule as possible. In a perfect world, every band’s contest schedule will not change. Realistically, if a band chooses to change the schedule without notifying us, we cannot anticipate this change. Again, your cooperation in this area is greatly needed and appreciated. Our combined commitment to the teachers, students, and parents is of the utmost importance.
