Clinic Synopsis:

The marching band is the face of the total band program in any community. No matter how strong the concert band program, the public expects the band to be present at all athletic events, town parades, etc. For the small director the marching band is under even more scrutiny given the size of the community. This sessions aims at presenting directors in these communities with expert advice on how to make a BIG impact on the field with limited means and instrumentation.
