Help Student Musicians Embark on a Wind Band Tour Across Europe!

In the summer of 2026, our student musicians will embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey: a Wind Band Tour across Europe, a ten-day itinerary including Germany, Austria and Czech Republic. This tour is far more than just a series of concerts; it is an opportunity for young people to experience the world in ways that will shape their musicianship and their lives. By stepping into international concert venues, students will not only share their music but also encounter new cultures, traditions, and ways of living that expand their understanding of the world beyond California.

Through this immersive "Learn by Doing" experience, students will learn to adapt and thrive in unfamiliar environments. From navigating the excitement of international travel to communicating across language barriers, they will gain skills that go far beyond the rehearsal hall. These challenges—both large and small—teach resilience, confidence, and the ability to connect with others, no matter the setting.

Musically, students will experience the unique acoustics of world-class, historic concert halls, learning how their sound interacts with different spaces and audiences. This deepens their artistry and gives them an appreciation for how music transcends borders. From these stages, they will hear their music resonate in ways that cannot be replicated at home, leaving them with unforgettable memories and invaluable lessons.

Your support makes this dream possible. Every contribution helps open the world to our students, giving them the chance to grow as musicians, leaders, and global citizens. By investing in their journey, you are helping them carry the power of music—and the lessons it teaches—into their futures and into the communities they will one day serve.

Thank you for your support!
