The University of Missouri campus in Columbia will host the 72nd Annual Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) State Music Festival Thursday to Saturday, April 25 to 27. The festival will feature 4,200 individual and group performances from 358 schools. Events will be held at various locations across the university, including the Fine Arts Building, Memorial Union, Tate Hall, and the Sinquefield Music Center.
This state-level festival serves an evaluative purpose, providing a platform for students to perform before some of the nation’s top music adjudicators. These experts offer critiques and ratings on the student’s musical abilities. Participants have qualified for this event by earning an “Exemplary” rating at their respective district-level festivals.
All segments of the MSHSAA Music Festival are open to the public and free of charge. Performances are scheduled to run from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily.
A complete list of schools scheduled to perform each day can be found in the Music Activities section of the MSHSAA website.
