The Sunshine State Awaits Your Arrival

Welcome to Sunshine State Music Festivals where we are dedicated to offering a unique performance opportunity for you and your students – beginning THIS YEAR with band, and then following soon with orchestra, chorus or auxiliaries performance opportunities. We have everything to make your experience YOURS.

Sunshine State Music Festivals facilitates an educational experience for your students on stage, but then YOU choose what fun activities to do while you’re visiting.  Visit Florida’s beautiful beaches, play all day at the ‘Mouse House,’ experience history at the Kennedy Space Center or just enjoy the inviting Florida weather.

Learn More About the Florida State Championships

One of the special features offered to Florida’s own groups is the opportunity to perform and rank within the state itself. This is a unique experience to let your groups spend time with their peers from neighboring counties and schools, learn from one another and enjoy the experience together.  Sunshine State Music Festivals will crown both a regional and state champion.
