Aloha Music Festivals provide students in various instrumental and choral ensembles the opportunity to strive for musical excellence in their performances. We provide Nationally recognized and respected adjudicators and clinicians at each performance venue in order to offer each student and director excellent educational experiences and musical growth.

Concert Bands, Jazz Ensembles, Orchestras and Choirs may decide to attend our festivals for a rating only, for competition or for just the opportunity to perform for an audience at various locations. Each group will have a warm-up period before its performance. Rules and sample score sheets will be sent to each participating school once it has been established that they will be competing.

Music Exchange Program , Aloha Music Festivals can arrange a music exchange program with a high school musical ensemble like your own, if you so desire. This program will offer you the opportunity to listen to and perform for a Hawaiian high school musical ensemble, have time to visit with students for a cultural and musical exchange of ideas, and observe how Hawaiian schools cultivate their music programs.

Request Tour Information

Important: Aloha Music Festivals cannot guarantee that there will be a competition at every festival. The number of applications that are sent to our office determines festival attendance. Schools choose their festival destinations based on prior trips and their school calendar, which we have no control over. Aloha Music Festivals does not provide changing areas for each participating school at our festivals. We are limited to the areas we are able to use at our performance sites and therefore cannot honor a request of this type. Aloha Music Festivals does not provide on-site medical staff. We suggest you bring a registered nurse or doctor along with you on the trip. Dressing rooms are not available at performance sites, but bathrooms can be used for changing purposes. Keep in mind that everyone will be using these bathrooms - please keep changing needs to a minimum. We strongly suggest that your group arrive at the performance site in their concert attire.
