2025 was our second year attending the Vivace show design clinic. Through going to these clinics, my staff and I have gained such valuable insights in how to design an effective show. It is so beneficial hearing different perspectives from experienced designers. As a younger design team, this has been invaluable. Going into band camp, we had such a clear vision of what we wanted out of our 2025 show, Scissorhands. We’re super grateful to the team at Vivace for sitting down with us and giving us the support we needed to create a fabulous program for our students!

Our design team is constantly seeking new ways to elevate our program, and this clinic exceeded every expectation. We left the workshop with an extraordinary wealth of ideas, big-picture concepts, detailed design strategies, and practical approaches to strengthening our students’ skills. Each clinician brought a unique perspective and a level of expertise that challenged us to think differently about our show design, musical vocabulary, and visual artistry.
The experience energized our entire team. We walked away inspired, equipped with innovative tools, and eager to push the boundaries of what our program can achieve!

Great ensembles don’t become exceptional by doing more reps, but by doing better reps!
This high-energy, interactive workshop will transform the way you think about rehearsal. Through the Reflect → Engage → Perform (REP) Cycle, you’ll learn how to replace “mindless” repetition with “mind-more” focused, intentional reps that drive real growth, connection, and artistry!
We’ll explore the difference between mistakes and misunderstandings, the power of student ownership, and the critical role of Activity + Relevance in engagement. You’ll leave with strategies to help your ensemble work smarter, not just harder!
By the end of this experience, participants will walk away with:
Proven rehearsal strategies…
A toolkit of leadership cues and techniques…
Actionable plans to boost engagement and efficiency…
The confidence to transform your program’s culture from the inside out!
Whether you’re a director, section leader, or aspiring educator, this session will challenge, energize, and equip you to maximize your MIND-MORE REPs!
