View this email on LinkedIn Bandology – More music for more kids  August 2026 Thank you for another summer of music making!Bandology had an amazing August with music-filled camps and workshops. August closes off another great summer at Bandology! This summer was so special – we celebrated our 10th year of Band Camp with our highest number of campers yet! Thank you to all our community partners, guest clinicians and conductors, and of course, all our amazing young music makers, campers and their families for helping us continue our mission of creating more music for more kids. August was also filled with so many music workshops, where we connected with the community and shared the joy of making music with everyone we met! We had so much fun creating music with everyone, making new friends and learning new things together. To our summer staff – thank you so much for giving us a music-filled summer to remember!
