There are many different sessions you can attend in Eemnes. They are divided in two types. First, sessions for members, which are more practical in nature. And sessions for staff and designers. How to register for the event and the clinics of your choice, can be found in a separate article.

Sessions for members

Bring your own members to these practical clinics if you can…you will see the results immediately in your own rehearsals.

Music Ensemble – Nola Jones & Rob Balfoort

Nola Jones and Rob Balfoort will work with a demonstration unit on the creation of a music ensemble and how to create effect. What is it, How does it work, and what are the challenges?

The Dutch show- and Marching band ViJos from Bussum will be the demonstration unit with their program. See how these two giants on their topics work and gain results. It may open your eyes to new approaches or will tell you that you are doing the right things already. So this is always a Win-Win experience.

Equipment Junior en (regional) A level – Sylvia Vos

This session is meant for color guard members but also for staff/designers from Junior, Regional A en A Class. Headtopic of the workshop is the wrist.

Please bring your own equipment to the clinic.
