Date: January 24, 2014
Site: William Peace University in Raleigh

Choirs will have two 45-minute sessions with expert show choir clinicians. Attending choirs may also pair the clinic with the Nice Work If You Can Get It show at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium.
The clinic is only open to NCASA member schools through October 14. Remaining time slots may be filled by non-member schools after this date. Non-member schools may also register for membership and the clinic at the same time.
