Arizona Leadership Conference

In 2025, the Arizona Leadership Conference celebrated 32 years of providing band students a quality leadership experience. Over 550 students attended our summer camps in 2025. In 2026, we are excited to once again offer you our leadership experience, with an amazing teaching faculty, in an in-person format
The Arizona Leadership Conference is designed to enhance the students' ability to succeed as a leader and be an asset to you and your music program. Conference curriculum is reinforced through group discussion, master classes, and special breakout sessions that will help your students reach their full potential. All students can benefit from attending and will get a head start in understanding the importance of their role in your program.
Student leaders will be well prepared to aid directors in the development of ​​their music program. After being involved in many other student leadership camps, we believe that the blend of leadership activities and individual instruction will provide students with the best potential towards serving their music program.
