Take your TedFest experience to the next level by joining our inaugural Band Camp, hosted by Trash Moon Collective. Band Camp is a two-day immersive music education program for adults and youth who are beginners to intermediate players of guitar, mandolin, banjo, or fiddle. Featuring top-notch instructors, Band Camp combines small-group instruction, collaborative learning, and workshops.
Band Camp culminates in a live performance on the festival’s main stage, offering participants a rare and empowering opportunity to perform for a festival audience.
