I LOVE IT!! I love CLA--I have had the good fortune twice over the last 10 years to "sub" for Greg Solomon, and I think CLA is a great way to get a group of kids from one organization together to learn more from talented instructors but to ALSO network with other like-minded student leaders. VERY cool stuff.

But you know what I really like about CLA's website?

That picture on the homepage right there is a pic of the back of my head on one of the camps I subbed for Greg!! LOL!!!

I love it...

I knew I recognized that melon :lol:

My school doesn't really do much leadership training, unfortunately. There ends up being such a vast gap in how different leader handle things. Some of the other leaders realize how easy they've been at too late of a time and are doomed to a role without respect. That happened a lot last year. They ended up going to the most feared section leader in band and having him hold a sectional once. just once. Mostly we try to pick people that we see as being natural leaders. (Usually doesn't work out well)

Every band should do CLA. My school did it for the first time this summer and the group of leaders that went really enjoyed it. Its a great place to meet new people and become really confident with ones leadership skills.

California Leadership Academy.
Im a 5 year veteran there.
Yes thats right. 5 year vet.
i was the first jr high student they accepted into their high school program.
i went as a new 7th grader, 8th grader, sophomore, junior, and senior.
yea i missed my freshman year obviously because i had quit my former marching band to be in the high school marching band. and i wasnt made drum major my freshman year obviously.
if you go you can tell them that adrianna kruk, the 5 year vet, recommended u to go. they'll b super nice to u haha.

My school doesn't do shizzle for leadership training. The only leaders who get any training are the drum majors. I really think that the entire leadership should go to leadership camps though.
