SABA has this year introduced an Aggregate Prize for the State Solo and Band Championships. Points will be awarded for participation in the solo and party events, but also for volunteers who donate their time and expertise to assist the running of the Championships.
The winning band will receive a $250 voucher from Size Music, as well as the perpetual shield. The esteemed honor of winning the inaugural prize goes without saying! The prize will be announced at the conclusion of the State Band Championships held on Saturday August 16. Details are outlined below, so get your fellow bandies organised and make sure it is your band that gets the top spot on the shield!
Solo events
All competitors will be awarded a point for participation. In addition the first, second, and third placed soloists in all sections will receive an additional 5, 4 and 3 points respectively.
Party events
As per solo events, all competitors will receive a point for participation, eg quartets will receive 4 points. The first, second and third place winners will receive an additional 5, 4 and 3 points respectively.
Volunteers
Volunteers are needed for both the solo/party events on June 14 and 15, and the Band Championships on August 16. Volunteers will be awarded 1 point per hour of their time contributed towards their bands total. In the event that a volunteer is a member of multiple competing bands, or is not associated with a band, the volunteer may assign any points earned to a band of their choice.
Don’t forget, solo and party event nominations need to be in to the SABA secretary by May 16. Expressions of interest for volunteers should be made to the SABA Secretary by June 1.
Get involved and make sure it is your band that takes home the shield in 2008!
