From Music For All

Music for All is extremely honored to have your marching band participate in the Bands of America Indianapolis Super Regional Championship, presented by Yamaha on October 20-21, 2017. Bands of America programs are dedicated to providing the highest quality educational experiences possible for students and teachers across the nation. These programs emphasize the value of creativity, teamwork, and discipline in scholastic music settings, principles that our participants carry with them as they pursue their personal and professional goals.

At Music for All, we believe that every student in America should have access to high-quality educational experiences like these, but we know that barriers exist in several important communities. By investing in new initiatives to increase accessibility for urban schools, small and rural schools, and students with special needs, we are dedicating ourselves to the creation of a world where music truly is for all.
