Master Clinician Video Review for Your Band Immediately After Your Show! 

New Master Clinician / Critique
Format Update
We hope you will join us this year as we host our 21st Annual Tarpon Springs Outdoor Music Festival, Saturday, October 14th.  We have added this year, a Critique for Instructional Staff members that we think you will find extremely beneficial to your program, both from a design element and performance analysis.  We have brought in three clinicians, above and beyond our adjudication panel, who will view your program.  After the performance, you and whomever you select from your instructional/design team, will go into a closed environment with the a video of your production, where the clinician will be able to give you suggestions regarding specific areas of design and performance, as well as any areas that you may want input or suggestions.
Our format for the show remains consistent with previous years, with the addition of the Critique.  Once again, all band officers, drum majors, and members of the senior class are invited onto the field for the Awards Retreat.  Please let us know if you have any questions or suggestions.  We hope that you will be part of our 22nd Annual event!
