What is a High Note festival at Six Flags Great Adventure?

It is a one-day music learning event. Your band, choir or orchestra performs for professional adjudicators at a venue near the park in the morning, receives recorded feedback, and then spends the rest of the day at Six Flags Great Adventure.

Six Flags Great Adventure School Music Festival

Perform in the morning, then spend the day at Great Adventure

Bring your band, choir or orchestra to Six Flags Great Adventure for a High Note festival day. Your groups perform at Marlboro Middle School, Freehold High School or the Grunin Center for the Arts (depending on your date) for professional adjudicators, get recorded comments to take back to the classroom, and then head into the park for the rest of the day.

Most schools come as a day trip from central New Jersey and nearby states, and plenty bring more than one ensemble. Six Flags Great Adventure festivals run on five Fridays in May and June.

High Note is a family-run company. When you call or email, you reach one of us, and we stay with your booking from registration through festival day.
