Our Mission
Band at the
Beach Summer Music Camp is committed to providing band
students in grades six through twelve with a rich
musical education and performance experience, creating
a sense of belonging, nurturing personal growth, and
ensuring our participants experience all the benefits
of community.
Our
Values
Artistic
Integrity
– Our conductors and music educators come to us with
years of proven classroom experience. We seek to
inspire and motivate our band students to grow their
musicianship through literacy, guided practice, and a
concert performance on the last day of camp. The
repertoire is always new and exciting, including
standard wind band literature, as well as contemporary
and popular styles.
Community
Collaboration
– We believe that through collaboration we can foster
a sense of belonging and create a more thriving and
connected music community. We use public school
facilities, local music educators and local
professional musicians as coaches.
Supporting
School Music Programs
- BATB encourages students’ continued participation in
their school music program and offers them the
opportunity to keep playing and performing during
their summer break. Parents love this, and so do their
band teachers!
Personal
Growth
– We care about each child and their development, and
believe music is a meaningful way to foster personal
growth. Many meaningful and lasting friendships have
been formed at BATB over the years!
Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion
– Making music together is one way we can build
bridges between cultures, ethnic backgrounds and
genders. If you read music and play a band instrument,
you are welcome at BATB! We invite students from
across San Diego County to participate. BATB Band camp
reflects the incredible diversity that is San Diego.

We had the great privilege of being in the audience
for the Band at the Beach concert on the 18th. There
are no words strong enough to express our admiration
for the adults and the students involved and the great
concert they were able to present. Everyone involved
should be immensely proud of his and her efforts.
Our grandson played the tuba in
the concert. He told us that he was amazed at the
superiority of the teachers that week over the
teachers he has had in other situations. His verbatim
comment was "These are real teachers!"
Thank you to you for your
leadership and for allowing us to hear the results.
