SECC Drum Corp and Marching Clinic

A pathfinder drum corp and marching clinic for those who want to learn or polish up on your skills. Join SECC Club Ministries for our first Pathfinder Drum Corps and Marching Clinic! This hands-on event will help clubs start a drum corps, strengthen existing groups, improve marching skills, and equip directors and staff to lead these activities in their own clubs. Space is limited, sign up now! Choose one group: Beginner Drum Corps, Drum Corps Leadership, or Marching Clinic. The groups meet at the same time, so participants should register for only one. Ken Stewart and additional volunteer instructors will lead Drum Corps, and our Pathfinder coordinator team will lead Marching. Registration: Registration will open Nov. 4th at 6:00pm and will end on Nov. 17th at 11:59pm or until space runs out. Beginner Drum Corps: For participants who want to learn the basics of drum corps, especially those who have never participated before. This track introduces foundational skills and helps new members get started. Drum Corps Leadership: For participants with prior drum corps experience who want to strengthen their leadership skills. This track focuses on helping experienced members and club leaders organize, guide, and lead their drum corps.
