STARS Performance Programs

Universal Orlando’s STARS Performance Programs offer incredible options for performance student groups, including:

Stage performances

Marching opportunities
Your marching band can perform on the streets of Universal Studios Florida for cheering crowds and brand-new fans. If you visit during the holidays, you may have the chance to march in Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s Pre-Parade.

 

Workshops
Learning while traveling is always something special. Currently, Universal Orlando offers a Sound Design workshop that gives students the opportunity to score a movie scene and Dance workshops that are led by Universal Orlando’s own choreographers and performers.

 

(Minimum requirement of 40 performers for stage performances, marching band opportunities and workshops.)
