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.”
