Not every school band program has a competitive marching program; however, every school is expected to fulfill certain outdoor expectations such as holiday parades and special school events. Not every band director has the background, budget, experience, or contacts to fulfill these expectations while still maintaining the integrity and quality that the community has grown to expect. Furthermore, not every program is allotted more than the major ensemble rehearsal time to fulfill these expectations.
This book is designed specifically for such band directors. In it, you will learn the basics to designing and implementing a quality outdoor program to specifically suit your school's needs. You will receive assistance in the following:
Budgeting time and resources for an outdoor program
Building the pep band
Creating a field show on a dime
Developing a quality parade band program from within the band rehearsal
Contact list for designers. choreographers, arrangers, and instructors
