Here is an overview of Festival Disney
Achieve performance excellence at a competitive music festival produced by Disney. When you own the Disney stage, you own the world. Join Festival Disney and give your talented vocal ensemble the chance to compete with other groups from schools across the country. Disney Performing Arts is extremely proud to be endorsed by the National Association for Music Education (NAfME). To date, Festival Disney has been adjudicated by more than 150 distinguished collegiate music educators, including these vocal education specialists: Dr. Mitos Andaya from Temple University, Dr. Jerry Blackstone from University of Michigan, Dr. William Powell from Auburn University, Dr. Rosephanye Powell from Auburn University, Dr. Russell Robinson from University of Florida, Dr. Hugh Floyd from Furman University and Dr. John Sinclair from Rollins College. Directors can also choose non-competitive adjudication status for their performance ensembles.
