LET’S MAKE MUSIC!
Members of the Miami University Marching Band (MUMB) are hosting
a clinic for Girl Scout Brownies in which they will earn the
Making Music Try-It. The girls will participate in
hands-on activities in which they will be making music and
learning about musical concepts and music around the world. In
addition to the try-it, Brownies will get to talk to MUMB
members, ask questions, experience different instruments, and
try on the official uniform! The clinic is hosted by the
brothers and sisters of Tau Beta Sigma, a music service
sorority, and it will be held at the home of the MUMB, the
Center for Performing Arts at Miami University. The clinic
will be offered once a year with the next one occurring on
