We are thrilled to announce the second annual Blue Devils Experience sponsored by Conn Selmer, Inc., US Bands and BDPA. Educators will enjoy a morning of sessions and Q&As with the Blue Devils staff, joined by Randy Greenwell,Richard Saucedo, and Beth Fabrizio, while students have the opportunity to attend a Student Leadership Workshop with Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser and Taylor Watts. After a break for lunch, everyone will come together for master-class style sessions in the afternoon, during which Blue Devils staff, Beth Fabrizio, Richard Saucedo, Taylor Watts, Matthew James, and Samantha and Adam Faircloth will work with students. Directors are free to come and observe as they wish. The day ends with a full ensemble rehearsal led by Richard Saucedo and a brief Q&A with directors and students. In addition to all the activities listed above, we are also excited to announce that Dr. David Vandewalker, author of Boosters to the Rescue, will be offering a FREE workshop to booster parents on the evening of June 9th at Bethel University from 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm. He is also available to directors on June 10th for one-on-one consultations throughout the day. Students are encouraged to participate for the entire day, but we understand that schedules and interests vary, so registration for morning and afternoon sessions is available a la carte. Discounted group registration for groups of 5+ is also available at 20% per student. One complimentary director registration is also included.
