Directors will complete the online Nomination Form, listing BEST musician first, your second best musician second, and so on. Please access this site until Tuesday October 7, 2019 at which point nominations will close. Directors will be notified of decisions regarding student selection during the week of October 21. Again, when filling out the Nomination Form, please place your BEST musician first, your second best musician second, and so on. If you have any problems with the online form, please contact us.

FOR STUDENTS Two and a half days of activities will take place for participating students, including part and chair auditions, IBC Opening Ceremony (this is an event where participating students will receive their schedule and all important information regarding the remainder of the clinic), full ensemble rehearsals with expert clinicians, master classes with Winthrop University faculty, performances by Winthrop University ensembles, scholarship auditions for those interested, and performances by the clinic bands. NOTE: Students should apply only if they can fulfill the responsibilities of the entire Invitational Clinic, including audition, opening ceremony, rehearsals, and concerts. Students will not be excused for activities outside of the clinic. The Invitational Band Clinic is free and requires band director recommendation.
FOR DIRECTORS A Directors Track will be offered during the clinic. Within the Track, session topics will vary and include sessions from the IBC Guest Clinicians, Winthrop Faculty and Staff, as well as other invited guests. The Directors Track schedule also mirrors that of the students, making it easy for a director to participate. If you have questions about registering for this Track, please contact Doug Presley (presleyd@winthrop.edu).
