Clinics are done for each band after a performance. Directors can choose to have the whole band attend the clinic or just have the director and staff attend. One of the clinicians will give a basic critique of the show along with showing a video of the performance. The clinician will talk with the students and the directors about various ways of improvement in anything from basic
execution to design elements and overall effectiveness of their show.
Finals bands will consist of the top 12 scores on the day regardless of class. Any class champion that does not score in the top 12 will have an exhibition performance in finals.
Registration Application will be available on Thursday, April 14.
