On what would have been Bands of America Grand National Finals evening, Music for All brings you a fun, memorable, and exciting online live pledge event, with special guests and performances and hosted by BOA emcees Chuck Henson, Dan Potter, and John Pollard.
Music is inherent to the human experience. Music education is vital for a well-rounded education in all children. Music for All has been providing positively life-changing experiences for millions of students and music educators since 1975. We provide opportunities for the pursuit of individual personal best and performance excellence with others. We support the social and emotional growth of young people today while nurturing the leadership development we need in our leaders of tomorrow.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted everyone, Music for All included. We were unable to present our events in 2020, cancelling them from the March Music for All National Festival to the November Bands of America Grand National Champions in order to keep people safe.
Please consider making a donation and supporting our mission. We’re thankful for your support during these extraordinary times.
