About the event
Learn more about the Mandarins Experience with our Summer Leadership Camp, a 3-day intensive with Mandarins Staff focused on leadership, communication, and performance. Featuring breakout seminars with our world-class staff.
Our program provides students with the tools, tips, and techniques to become effective leaders once they return to their bands. We accomplish this through demonstration and experiential learning in small group settings. The intent is that students will be equipped to effectively support their band director’s vision and goals. All students will have the opportunity to work with different educators and clinicians throughout the week.
