Why are band clinics important?  Band clinics give each student an opportunity to compete with other band students around the East Tennessee area.  This will cause each student to practice more, be more competitive on his/her instrument, take private lessons to improve more & eventually contact colleges to tryout for scholarships.  We are trying to encourage students to have a desire to improve as individual players.
