One of the judges of a good band is how well they perform marches. Marches are part of the heritage of the band, but they are also excellent tools to improve tone, technique, balance, blend, intonation, and musicianship. This clinic will show you how to use them as an essential part of your rehearsal strategies. Demonstrations will be given by the Carlton J. Kell High School Wind Symphony.
