The Smoky Mountain Music Festival is a competition for elementary, middle and high school music groups. It offers these groups a chance to showcase their work and talent in front of adjudicators in the Smoky Mountains. On Friday, concert bands, jazz bands, orchestras, choral groups and winterguards, indoor drum lines, and other auxiliaries will perform at the Gatlinburg Convention Center.
On Saturday adjudication of the Street Parade on the downtown Gatlinburg strip will occur. An awards ceremony will follow the competition on both days.
