Bands of America Regional Championships are a program of Music For All. The organization uniquely combines regional and national music-event
programming with awareness campaigns and advocacy aimed at expanding access to music in schools and communities. A 501(c)(3) not-for-profit
educational organization, Music for All promotes the widely documented lifetime benefits of music education and addresses the growing concern
that public policies have created barriers to providing music and arts programs as part of a basic education for all children.
