2026 Zone Rehearsals

All students and teachers are expected to attend the zone rehearsal selected when registering for the festival (see schedule below). More information about zone rehearsals will be sent in early January.

Please remember that schools are responsible for all transportation, lodging, and meals (other than lunch on Saturday) and that students are assumed to be accompanied by their teacher at zone rehearsals and the festival. Should a teacher not be able to attend a principal designee must be provided.

Zone Rehearsal Dates and Times:

Typically, schools attend the zone rehearsal where they auditioned in October. Pisgah is the site for the MHU zone.
