1. A spinal construct comprising:
a fastener comprising a base, a head and a shaft connected to the head, the head being disposed in the base such that the base extends about the head, the base defining a first groove configured for disposal of a band;
a member including a body having opposite inner and outer surfaces, the inner surface defining a cavity having the base disposed therein, the member including a rod having a first end directly engaging the outer surface and an opposite second end, the body defining a second groove extending into the inner surface;
a crown disposed in the cavity; and
a part disposed in the cavity and comprising a third groove,
wherein the base is configured to move relative to the member to move the spinal construct from a first orientation in which the band is disposed in the second and third grooves to a second orientation in which the band is disposed in the first and second grooves to connect the member with the fastener, and
wherein the crown is stationary to the member as the spinal construct moves from the first orientation to the second orientation.
