Successful Concert Band Clinic from K-State Bands
Submitted by the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance
The K-State Bands hosted the 31st annual Concert Band Clinic Jan. 19-21. More than 550 high school students from across the Midwest arrived to campus on Jan. 19, auditioned to be in one of six honor bands and began rehearsals with six nationally renowned guest conductors.
K-State instrumental music faculty and students worked with the students, while their band directors attended sessions presented by the guest conductors. Clinic guests were treated to Jan. 20 concert by the K-State Wind Ensemble under the direction of Frank Tracz, clinic coordinator. All six honor bands performed concerts in McCain Auditorium on Jan. 21.
Special thanks to the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance and McCain Auditorium for their help with this year's clinic.
Mark your calendar for Jan. 24-26, 2025, for the 32nd annual Concert Band Clinic.
