While undergraduate training prepares students to plan, teach, and prepare ensembles for performance, other aspects of festivals and contests are not taught mainly due to time restraints. This class would concentrate on how to prepare all ensembles for adjudication insight-reading, as well as marching band / orchestra contests and festivals.
