Houston, Texas (July 2, 2024) – Webber Marketing (WM), creators of the National Battle of the Bands (NBOTB), is partnering with Houston Community College’s Media Arts program to host a three-day band camp open to all high school bands across the country.

Counting down to the 10th anniversary of the Pepsi NBOTB, this event aims to inspire and educate young musicians to have an unforgettable experience. The camp will occur July 17th through 19th, each day from 2 PM – 6 PM, on the North Forest Campus of Houston Community College. Directed by Dr. Juvon Pollard, a Sr. Associate Direct of Bands of Texas Southern University’s “Ocean of Soul,” and assisted by Mr. Edward “PJ” Howard, an HBCU Band Director and Lecturer, the three-day camp will be filled with music, fun, and fellowship.

“We are incredibly excited to offer this high school band camp as part of our countdown to the 2024 NBOTB 10th Anniversary Celebration,” says Derek Webber, CEO of Webber Marketing and Executive Director of National Battle of the Bands. “This camp provides a unique opportunity for young musicians to develop their skills and gain invaluable insights into the music industry. Our goal is to inspire and nurture the next generation of talented musicians who will continue the rich legacy of HBCU marching bands.”

Students will participate in a two-part workshop that includes Introduction to Music Business and Audio Recording. As a completion award, each participant will be gifted two free tickets to this year’s NBOTB, which will take place on Sunday, August 25th, at the NRG Stadium in Houston, TX.
