This clinic is for current and aspiring high school drum major students of all experience levels. We focus on:
Fundamentals of Basic Conducting
Conducting with Musicality
Effective Conducting Gestures
Advanced Musicianship
How to BEST lead YOUR band!!
Based on experience, we will be providing an optional ADVANCED track in the morning block, where those students with more experience will come together to work on more advanced techniques - such as upper level movement, baton technique, and communication concepts.
At the time of registration, you will have the opportunity to mark that you'd like to be considered for the ADVANCED morning track and provide pertinent information.
The 6th Annual Southeastern Drum Major Clinic is being held on Saturday, June 20th at Brookwood High School in Snellville, Georgia.
Our ONE day conducting clinic is for current AND aspiring high school drum major students. We will work together and conduct in both small and large group settings, from about 9am to 4pm. There we will dive in on the fundamental concepts of conducting with proper form, posture, clarity, and tempo. We'll build upon those fundamental and develop more musical concepts and gestures.
We will then get together in one large group to combine all of the concepts together into two performance pieces, concluding the day with the parent performance at 5pm!
Registration cost is $100.00 before June 1st, $125 afterward.
Registration for SDMC 2026 is underway!
