Judging Solo Drumming: A Zoom workshop with Duncan Millar
NOVEMBER 7, 9:00am - 10:30am
A Zoom presentation with Q&A from Duncan Millar on judging solo drumming. This will be a presentation for anyone who judges or is interested in judging, as well as for piping teachers and band instructors (preparing students for performance) and for competitors who want to understand what judges are looking for. There will also be some practical info for judges, in terms, of keeping track of big classes, coming up with a result, writing useful adjudication sheets.
