Designing a show can be daunting, especially for a younger design team. When I took our design team to the Vivace show design clinic we didn’t know what to expect but over the course of the sessions we came away with valuable processes to improve our design. Working with the clinicians and having assistance with how we approach designing a show from scratch was instrumental in bringing our 2024 program, "Vincent," to life.

The design workshop we attended last year was an incredible experience for not only myself as a director, but our entire design team. The opportunity to sit and discuss our vision with some of the top designers in the pageantry arts, was something that provided our design process a successful jump start to the 2024 season. We walked away from this day inspired, filled with creativity, and a wealth of knowledge on how to be a better program for not only our marching program, but our entire band program. We can't wait to attend again this year!
