There are four standing committees: Logistics and Transportation, Ways and Means, Membership, and Operations. In 2007, the Board of Directors established the Planning Committee to support the development of long-range plans and budgets.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What do I need to bring to BTI?
Students should be hydrated and have eaten a healthy breakfast prior to attending BTI. Students must bring their instrument, music, and a pencil; they will be used frequently at BTI. A water cooler with your name written in marker is encouraged, however our booster association provides liquids throughout the day. It is recommended that students bring sunblock to BTI.
What should I wear to BTI?
Loose clothing will provide the best comfortable learning environment outdoors. Students should avoid wearing dark colors and tight clothing. It will be in the best interest for students to wear sneakers instead of sandals; at no time should students be barefooted. A cap and sunglasses is recommended as long as the head or eyewear is not distracting to the classroom. It is encouraged that students wear appropriate clothing adhering to the Berkeley County dress code. At all times it is encouraged that students wear sunblock.
Should I pack a lunch or dinner for BTI?
Lunch will NOT be provided for the students during BTI. Please be sure students pack a lunch, or be prepared to purchase something on their own; Summer School students need to be sure they have eaten before they arrive at practice. During BTI, students will have an opportunity to have a break from 3:01 to 5:29 for dinner break OFF-SITE. It is strongly encouraged that students hydrate themselves during this dinner break session.
