Hurricane Helene left a path of devastation across the Southeast. We know many have been impacted by the storm and continue to face challenges in its wake. Our thoughts are with those whose schools, homes, and communities were affected by this terrible storm.

If you’d like to help people affected by Hurricane Helene, we encourage you to donate to relief organizations like the American Red Cross that can work with local communities on what they need most. Please visit redcross.org to help make a difference.

Five Bands of America Regional Championships will be held October 5, in Arizona, Texas, and in Tennessee. We know some schools, students, teachers, and families who will be attending – or who planned to attend – our events have been greatly impacted by this terrible storm. The shows will go on for those who can safely travel and participate, while we work with and support those schools who cannot attend in whatever ways we can.
