Dress Code and Code of Conduct
  
     This festival is not like other festivals. The atmosphere is one of respect for all aspects of the festival, including one another, the music, the facilities, the performers, and so on. It is required that students dress appropriately throughout the weekend. This includes the following: for boys: dress clothes, (no tennis shoes, no jeans), and should include shirt and tie or dress sweater or turtleneck, and for girls: dress clothes, (no tennis shoes, no jeans). It is expected that the directors will enforce this code and express the importance of it to the students. Additionally, the behavior expectations include individual control of loud talking, inappropriate language, proper audience participation and proper manners considering the atmosphere of the hotel and performance facilities.
  
     Each room will have a courtesy bar. This bar will be locked and sealed. However, it is important to remind your students that this bar is "off limits". Additionally, each room will have one or two bath robes. Be sure to remind your students that these robes are for their use but should remain in the room upon departure. Each room is also supplied with a courtesy snack tray. WBA has requested that the snack trays be removed from the student rooms; however, this request could be over looked by the hotel staff. In any event, it is important to remind you that those snacks are VERY expensive and should not be consumed. Any damage to the hotel room or items taken from the snack tray, or any missing article from the room will be charge to the school whose students occupied the room.

Festival Passes and Other Items of Interest
  
     Each Student, Chaperone and Director will be issued a festival pass. Each pass will be required for all meals, master classes, and concerts. Parents who wish to attend any one or all of these events must purchase a festival pass. Festival passes will be available in the Cerritos Room of the Westin Hotel. Festival Passes will cost $15 per person. Meals, including the banquet can be purchased as well. Prices for these meals vary and may be purchased before the event in the Cerritos Room of the Westin Hotel.

Audience Times
  
     Each school ensemble is assigned "audience time". Part of what makes this festival unique is that for each performance there is an audience of people who care. Please be early for your assigned times so that performances are not interrupted. Under no circumstances should your ensemble miss its assigned audience time. Please plan departure times to the performance venue carefully.
