2nd Battle of Band Camp
Begins August 8, 2026!
The Battle of Band Camp made an exciting debut last year at Camp Caesar, where the Sousaphones claimed a dominant victory thanks to the generosity of our supporters. Our 2025 goal was to raise $5,000 but we returned to Fairmont having raised more than $22,000! This year’s battle kicks off Thursday, August 6, 2026, and runs through Wednesday, August 12, 2026. The winning section will be announced at Band Camp and they will earn a special treat before we depart camp but ultimately everyone wins as all funds raised will benefit the entire organization.
For our 2026 Battle we are seeking 2–3 partners to sponsor the Battle of Band Camp and be prominently featured on all media involved in the venture. Last year’s campaign generated nearly 1 million impressions and interactions and attracted over 260 individual donors making this a fantastic opportunity to promote your business while supporting student musicians. Follow our social media and website for updates, and get ready to support your favorite section when the Battle of Band Camp begins!
