For the last few years, the Blue Mountain Bandits High School Marching Band has suffered from inconsistent directorship. Students are dropping out, scores and morale are at an all-time low, and the school doesn’t give the music program the respect it deserves.
Determined to turn everything around, Cadence enters her junior year as the band’s drum major, alongside brand new band director and Blue Mountain alum, Mr. Victor Wiley. Whipping the band into competition shape is easier said than done, but Cadence and Wiley have the drive and optimism to see the task through. To focus solely on perfecting this year’s field show, the band leaves behind society to spend two weeks at Camp Bearpaw, a sports compound located amidst the woodsy Pennsylvania countryside. It’s the perfect place to kindle friendships, make memories, grow as a leader, and perhaps even find love in between rehearsals…
However, band camp isn’t going to be easy. All choices carry weight and unexplained happenings wait in the wings of the camp. Will Cadence lead her classmates to victory–or watch the entire band fall apart around her?

I bought this game not expecting much since the premise did not appeal to me and I felt the price point was probably not worth it (spoiler I was wrong). However, this game shocked me. You can tell the creators truly cared about the story and their characters. Every character felt so engaging and I even found my favourite route being a route I thought I'd hate (Peter) since I hate his archetype.
I wish more games were similar to this. A true hidden gem in this community. The only thing I regret is not buying it sooner.

At first, I downloaded this game as a funny laugh because I've been doing band currently for three years of my high school career, I joined when I was a freshman so I've come a long way. I thought this game was going to be lighthearted and very cheesy (its only at certain points), and I didn't read the warning because who really does nowadays. The order I played in was Tom, Clark, Peter, ATTEMPTED Garth (I love my little gay boy), Poptart, Samuel, Doug, Alex's side story, and finally the true ending. I recommend going through it raw, the way my jaw dropped during Tom's story was very very low (ifykyk). I always got the bad ending first, but then I would get the good ending and it's so addicting. *I loved every second of it, even for characters you might not find entertaining/hot the story is pure gold.* I would consider myself a band kid, a proud percussionist of the front ensemble marimba variety, but being able to see my passion put into a game was surreal. I loved it, every little reference, it helped open my eyes a little and I really appreciate that, every choice seemed so calculated and every joke made me giggle or look in confusion (trust me, Poptart and some of his lines got me so hard). I finished this game in the midst of a month of very busy high school-ing and I can say that I'm satisfied.
BUT, no buts, not nuts, and no coconuts on this. I JUST WISH I could've done a path with Aaron as the main love interest. One, he's hot af, do not argue with me, and two, he's just super cool and funny personality, it's interesting. I have no bias and I have spoken my peace.
But, wait! One more thing the girls, the side characters, they all added so much flavor to the game. I'm glad they were made that way, I kind of also wish there was more expansion on backstories for certain love interests and side characters. I would love to see another rendition of this kind of game, us band kids deserve to have something to enjoy yk.
And to the developers, thank you for making such a beautiful game. I know it took so long and I can tell it was a labor of love, I loved it and it made me love my band so much more. Seeing other people (even if they're 2D) so passionate gets me passionate, I wish there was more to the game and I wish it never ended, but what can we do. Although, you might never see this I really wish you the best and keep making great games like this. (AND PLEASE AARON DLC WOULD BE AMAZING <3)

This game is absolutely awesome. Just wish that we could have romanced a certain guy that we thought we could...
I LOVE dating sims with a darker story/twist. Wish that there were more games like this. The amount of romance options is also big which i don't see a lot.

Most amazing game I think I've ever played. Such a beautiful story line, great art, voicing was beautiful, and so much more. The walk through they have made for the good endings was so helpful, all you have to do is search "Band Camp Boyfriend walk through" and it should bring up the official website, and you just click on it and go from there. This game brought me to tears, I've been playing since it first game out. I totally recommend for all the band lovers. The creators did an amazing job, if only there was going to be more. But I'm so excited for future games!

I love band in general. So this game was something I wanted to buy and play for quite some time. The story of this game is amazing. I can't believe how the plot roles out
