pekin went to manteno last year (not this year because jazz band will be going to eiu's jazz fest) and the deal is that there are rooms to change in because they prefer you don't change in the homeroom; just leave your stuff in there. as for what a clinic is, a clinic is where after you preform a judge comes in and critiques you on your show and things to add or fix with your performance, excatly like a critique. as for their beings finals, i'm not quite sure. last year there were no finals, but there may be this year. check with manteno.
