Durango packed the Light Box for Stillwater’s first Battle of the Bands! Eight youth bands from our programs took the stage, each vying for the top spot in a friendly competition to wow the crowd and raise the most money for Stillwater’s youth programs. But the real winner of the night was our community, which came together to support music education in a BIG way!

Thanks to the enthusiasm and generosity of our supporters, the event raised over $10,000 for Stillwater’s youth programs. These funds will directly benefit our efforts to provide high-quality music education to youth of all ages and abilities, including scholarships for students in need and support for programs like Spark, which fosters inclusivity through music and dance.

The performances showcased the incredible talent and hard work of our young musicians. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, donated, and cheered on these talented young musicians. Your support helps us continue to make music accessible and transformative for kids in our community!If you missed the Battle of the Bands this year, we can’t wait to see you in the crowd next time!
