Magic Music Days

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Magic Music Days is a program put on by Walt Disney World Resort and the Disneyland Resort as well as Disneyland Resort Paris. It brings in school bands to perform in the parks and do clinics. These groups include:

  • Jazz bands
  • Orchestras
  • Color guards (aka pom-pom squads)
  • Marching bands
  • Choirs

Bands typically march through a park in one of various days, and then take part in a musical clinic with a Disney "cast member". The "cast member" teaches the band what it is like to be part of a Disney show, and the band performs music which is then recorded and played with a Walt Disney Pixar Movie selected from the Disney reportoire.

Orchestras may play on an outdoor stage at the marketplace, an outdoor shopping center. The stage faces a small grandstand with a small lake behind it. Orchestras also participate in a workshop and perform music which is played with a classic disney film.

[edit] Back Stage

Students who go back stage will see roads and the back of the mountains of Toon Town, which are suspended on poles. The students will then have their picture taken and perform. They can purchase drinks or snacks backstage for half the price of outside food. Disney has two recording studios.
