Marching band video clinics: my feedback on your rehearsal or run.
Send me a video of your band. I'll record my feedback over your footage, so you see your band and hear what I'm hearing at each moment. You tell me what to focus on: the music, the visual, the show design or how you're running rehearsal.
For high school marching band directors.
A second set of ears, without the travel
No travel to book and no rehearsal day to give up. Send the video when it suits you, and get an experienced director's eyes and ears on your band before your next contest.
Your video, with my voice over it
You watch your band and hear what I'm hearing at the moment it happens, so every comment points to a specific spot.
Feedback on what you choose
Program design and effect, music performance, visual performance, rehearsal procedures, or anything else you want a second opinion on.
Use them when you need them
Feedback usually comes back within 72 hours. Buy one or several, and send each video whenever you're ready, through the end of your season.

A band director's ears on your band.
I'm Evan VanDoren. I was a band director at Cedar Park High School in Texas for nine years, where we won three UIL State Marching Championships and made two Bands of America Grand National Finals.
Today I work alongside the brass faculty at the Santa Clara Vanguard as their brass arranger, and I've presented clinics for Drum Corps International, NAfME, the Texas Bandmasters Association, TMEA and Music for All. I also write marching band shows for bands across the country, so I'm listening for the music, the visual and the design together.
From directors I've worked with
“Evan has not only helped our organization as a whole, but he has also helped me grow tremendously as a young educator… Every week Evan gave us guidance on what processes/exercises/solutions would benefit us the greatest.”
“Evan’s impact is far reaching in our program both in terms of rehearsal procedure and overall show quality.”
“Evan is a true master teacher… I count myself as lucky to have worked with him for a year at Cedar Park High School.”
From Google reviews.

High school marching band directors who want a second set of ears on their band.
What kind of video should I send?
A rehearsal or a performance, whichever you want feedback on, up to 15 minutes.
How do I send it?
As a link. A private YouTube video works, or a share link from Dropbox, Google Drive or Box. Just make sure I can open it.
What will you comment on?
Whatever you ask for: program design and effect, music performance, visual performance, rehearsal procedures, or something else you name.
How fast will I hear back?
Usually within 72 hours of getting your video.
How will I get the feedback?
As a recorded video: your footage with my voice over it. You'll get an email when it's ready, and it'll be waiting in your client portal.
Can I buy more than one?
Yes. Each clinic is $350. Choose how many on your quote, then send each video whenever you're ready, through the end of your season. Buying a few lets you check in early, midseason and before your last contest.
