Group Clinic
A 45 minute exploration of how the band plays together – how to rehearse, how to write out arrangements, how to balance the voices. Repertoire includes a variety of styles the group covers from classical, to bluegrass to rock.

Masterclasses
Masterclasses are an opportunity for your own students to play for the members of the band in the appropriate instrumental category. Student performers would play in a class setting for listening and participating students, where positive feedback on all aspects of performing can occur.

Performances for the Student Body
This would involve a 45- minute concert of selected diverse repertoire that spans classical to rock. This could be the culmination of a half-day school visit.
