Plot

Matt Stifler, the younger brother of Steve Stifler, is eager to enter a family business of making pornographic films to prove his "Stifmeister" behavior to his older brother, Steve.

After Matt pulls a prank on the school band that goes too far, the school's guidance counselor Chuck "The Sherminator" Sherman, who attended high school with Steve, punishes Matt by sending him to band camp. Matt is initially dismissive of the idea, but is soon persuaded to agree, his interest piqued by the purportedly notorious sexual behavior of band camp girls.

Upon arrival, Matt is highly disrespectful of the rules and to everyone at Tall Oaks, and even gets his school's band in trouble. Jim's dad, Noah Levenstein, the camp's MACRO (Morale and Conflict Resolution Officer), recommends he try to fit in to win the band's trust. Matt conspires with his nerdy roommate Ernie to film the other band members in a bid called 'Bandeez Gone Wild' using hidden cameras. During a scuffle in the lunchroom, Matt accepts a duel with the rival band leader Brandon Vandecamp, wherein the performers show off their music skills, with Brandon playing the snare drum, and Matt playing the triangle. When it seems Matt has lost, he leaves the stage and comes back playing the bagpipes, also wearing a kilt, to the tune of "Play That Funky Music" to win the duel. Matt befriends Elyse; they are later attracted to each other and kiss while watching clouds.

A day before the finals, the East Great Falls cheerleading squad arrives and catches Matt in a band camp uniform. They tease him, taking a photo and planning to share it online. Matt later offers to show them his film 'Bandeez Gone Wild' in exchange for deleting the photo. While Matt is showing them his video, Elyse turns up after he had unintentionally stood her up. Disappointed with him for making the video, she leaves. The various school bands compete for points throughout camp, with East Great Falls leading on the last day, but an ill-fated prank Matt meant for the rival team causes the band to lose and Elyse to lose her opportunity for a scholarship.

Once the new term starts, Matt visits Chuck, who reveals that he and Steve's other friends could not stand him. Matt soon begins to fix his mistakes by deleting the naked videos he took of others at band camp, reconciling with his band camp buddies, and then persuading the school band to play Elyse's piece, Instrumental of Tal Bachman's Aeroplane, for the Conservatory head. Due to blatant plagiarism, Brandon was disqualified, so Elyse won the scholarship, while Matt successfully won her affection.
