Along with the amazing judging panel - we offer a 15-20 minute clinic immediately following each bands performance. The clinicians will watch the prelims performance, and then talk with each band (or directors only) about what they saw/heard at each performance. Complete with video/audio to reinforce and give positive feedback or constructive criticism. All in an effort to help you and your band program.
