2020 Entries Are Now Live
Elementary CHOIR, Middle School BAND & ORCHESTRA CONTEST!

2020 Festival Options

All 22 festivals are opening in late April of 2020 to Elementary Choirs, Middle School Bands and Orchestras (except May 14, choir only) making it easier for you to attend the festival when you like! 

For those of you with district transportation issues, the 2:00-7:00 times were designed to be much more conducive to transportation. Those times have much more flexibility with bus runs during school hours.

For those of you with issues attending during the school day - we now
​offer an evening festival (5:00-10:00) on Friday night May 8th!
