Room: Exhibit Hall 4B • Clinician(s): Steven Moore [-Bio-], Weston Fisher [-Bio-], Susan Scott [-Bio-] Demonstration Group: Lindale HS Band This will be a broad based clinic that will help those directors who currently teach military style see what Lindale does and then help them improve their teaching techniques and strategies at home with their military style bands. This clinic will also benefit the non-military style director and adjudicator by helping them to better understand what the military style is, its fundamental elements, drill design and other fundamental concerns.

From February 26-March 28, “The President’s Own” will host “Sousa’s March Mania,” a tournament pitting 32 marches against each other for the Marine Band online community to determine which one is the favorite. Every day through March 28, marches will compete head to head while our friends and fans vote which marches advance in the tournament. You can visit the Marine Band website to listen to the competing marches, download a tournament bracket, and vote for your favorites. The champion march will be announced on March 29. At the end of the competition, anyone with the winning march on their bracket, completed prior to the first match, will be dubbed an honorary "March King" for a day! Participants are invited to share completed brackets with the Marine Band by emailing them to marineband.publicaffairs@usmc.mil or posting to facebook.com/marineband.
