Recent Berklee graduate and Foxboro native Corey Hall will be the drummer for the band CLIFFORD at the metal music festival INKcarceration in Mansfield, Ohio, on Sunday as part of the Berklee Popular Music Institute, an innovative class at the college that brings students and Berklee-affiliated acts to major North American music festivals.

The BPMI program guides students through every step of going from the classroom to the stage — important preparation for a performance career.

While most Berklee classes take place over the course of one semester, BPMI runs on a three-semester, full-year cycle. In the fall semester, the class selects the artists and splits up into management teams. In the spring, students work on artist development, marketing, digital presence, budgets, merchandise, sponsorships, and advancing their assigned festival. For the final semester, teams rehearse with the artists to prepare them for the festival stage and accompany them to each festival to handle on-site promotion, production and tour management.
