| The President suggested items the association could address for a more successful clinic. he felt an improvement in student cancellation percentage and selecting student more capable of performing the level of music required would lend itself to that means. After discussion the association felt the directors should get more of a commitment from the student to attend the clinicc and make a more determined effort to select students that are responsible as well as excellent musicians. | ||||||
| Tracy Irby suggested that there should be more consistency in the tryout music. Discussion followed and the following ideas were set forth by the association: | ||||||

| 2. Each excerpt no more than 30 seconds in length. | ||||||
| 3. Responsibility of instrumental group (ex. clarinet, sax., trumpet, trombone, etc) to develop printed prepared piece idiomatic of that instrument. | ||||||
| 4. Selected tryout music repertoire be compiled (seven '7' prepared selection for each instrument) and at each Fall meeting select the tryout music for that year from the repertoire. | ||||||
