Competitions & Festivals

Achieve personal bests or bragging rights at Disney's unique competitions and festivals. Challenge your ensemble to excel by entering events that are both encouraging and rewarding, including professional critiques, friendly rivalries or non-competitive performances.

Festival Disney
Compete with your middle and high school students at this annual competition for instrumental, vocal and auxiliary ensembles—held on select weekends from March to May. Achieve performance excellence at our all-Disney-produced competitive music festival. Festival Disney gives your ensemble the chance to compete with other instrumental and vocal ensembles from schools across the country. Directors can choose either competitive or non-competitive experiences. This event is open to concert bands, jazz ensembles, marching bands, orchestras, vocal ensembles and show choirs. And afterwards, your ensemble will get the opportunity to explore the magic of Walt Disney World Theme Parks.
