Each elementary school sends <br /> 15-20 fourth and fifth grade students who demonstrate exceptional talent, <br /> interest, and/or potential in the area of vocal music. With the assistance of their <br /> music teacher, students practice 6-7 songs in preparation for the event. During <br /> the clinic, a guest clinician/director runs a full-day rehearsal to fine tune and unify <br /> the chorus of approximately 130 students, and the clinic concludes with a <br /> performance for families and the community. This year, the clinic will be held on <br /> Thursday, March 16, 2017, at Pathways Elementary under the direction of the <br /> music teacher, Wayne Wilson. <br />
