Creating a Culture of Excellence in Your 2nd and 3rd Bands

Clinic Synopsis:

The strength and depth of a band program is dependent upon the vitality of its 2nd and 3rd bands.

Topics will include the band placement process, motivation, differentiated instruction, selection of repertoire, developing student leadership, a balanced approach to fundamentals, classroom management, and building for the future.
