For Drum Majors and Student Leaders
Get fired up to lead your high school band and take your leadership and marching band skills to the next level!
The Pacific Crest Leadership and Drum Major Camp is designed for ALL band and color guard student leaders! From Band Presidents to Drum Majors to Color Guard Captains and everyone in between, we are inviting you to this experience to prepare for a successful school year as a leader in your band program. Return to your program inspired, energized, and ready to lead!
Hone your leadership skills through hands-on experience and discussion in running sectionals, leading stretches, working with your directors and leadership teams, inspiring and encouraging your fellow ensemble members, and more! End your week at the camp with an interactive session featuring the 2024 Pacific Crest Drum Corps.
Every camp participant gets a free ticket to Corps at the Crest for students on Friday, June 28th — made possible thanks to the generous support of UDB!

What Camp Participants and Band Directors Have to Say
“One of the best experiences of my leadership career! It stuck out from the other leadership camps I’ve attended.”
“I am amazed by what I learned in three days and can’t imagine how much more I could get out of another camp.”
“The camp gives you more than one way of leading your band rather than the ‘right and only way’. It’s like learning all the secrets from the successful.”
“Pacific Crest has been an amazing resource of materials and learning for my student leaders. I always enjoy how much my students come back ready to lead from being a part of the organization.”
“Students came back ready to truly own and run THEIR programs. Students were excited to try and implement new ideas and see what works and doesn’t to create the culture for learning in our music program.”
