SHOP Talk: ABC’s for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Year Band Directors

Clinic Synopsis:

This presentation is to help young band directors survive in the profession. Building a program, recruitment, retention, stress, time management, and aiming for success are just a few of the topics that will be discussed.
