All Midfest parents should text @SRMSMidfest to 23559 to receive up to date information throughout the weekend.
Here is some final Midfest Information that I received today: (sorry for the bad formatting, the copy and paste wasn't working and there is no time to type all of this today).
You will no longer need your parking pass. I will refund the $10.00 to you next week.
ARRIVAL: Car and van parking will be available at the Performing Arts Center (PAC) Deck near the School of Music. Students arriving by bus
or any other vehicle that can not be parked in the parking deck must be dropped off at the Performing Arts Center loop. See BUS PARKING
below for details. Please note that PAC activities will prevent MidFest participants from entering the Performing Arts Center
building on Thursday afternoon. Those parking in the PAC Deck will be directed to walk around the PAC to the School of Music.
Check In: I have to check you in. I will be arriving at 1:45 to get in line at the PAC to register. Be in the lobby of the school of music waiting on me. I will bring our your audition tag ASAP.
Band Assignments: I will post band assignments on our school website when I find them out on Friday morning. Be ready to check back here to find out where you will go.
INSTRUMENT STORAGE: Between rehearsals, instruments may be returned to your hotel, stored in a vehicle, or stored in the rehearsal
venues. Though rehearsal facilities will be locked between rehearsals, the safety of unattended instruments can not be guaranteed. The
University of Georgia and the Classic Center are not responsible for the loss of any unattended belongings.
TRANSPORTATION: Bus transportation will be provided to expedite the beginning of the first rehearsal, though directors are welcome to
transport students on their own. Buses will only run between instrumental clinic sites and rehearsal locations on Friday morning. All
subsequent student transportation is the responsibility of school directors and chaperones.
When picking up students from the School of Music or Performing Arts Center, students may meet you at your vehicle in the PAC
deck or may board your vehicle in the turnaround outside the Performing Arts Center lobby. When picking up students from the Classic
Center Foundry Street Ballrooms, please proceed to the surface lot behind the ball rooms. Boarding or exiting vehicles is not permitted on
Foundry Street or at the “horseshoe” on Thomas Street in front of the Classic Center main building.
FESTIVAL RULES: We want everyone who attends MidFest to have an enjoyable educational experience. To that end, the following rules
will apply throughout the festival, on campus, and at the Classic Center. Please share these with all who will attend:
• Students may not smoke, drink, or be under the influence of drugs.
• Students must respect the property of festival students, staff, the University of Georgia, and the Classic Center.
- Instruments and instrument cases may not be brought into the Performing Arts Center lobby or seating area.
- Students must dispose of trash appropriately in all facilities, including restrooms.
- Students will sit appropriately during events and avoid placing feet on walls, seats, or stage from the seating area.
