The Vocal Music Program enjoys a very active travel schedule, allowing students unique opportunities to perform in some of the most recognized competitions and festivals across our country, as well as some of the most historic and iconic venues. In addition, tours have taken our students on three tours of Western Europe and will soon be pointing us to Croatia and Italy for another outstanding performance experience.

Tours are completely optional and are fee-based. Each tour is planned as a comprehensive educational experience….with students, and chaperones, experiencing life-changing memories, including great attention to history, culture, and recreation, as well as musical performance. Fundraising and many opportunities are provided to help students financially participate in the many tours and festivals that are offered, both locally and abroad. VMPA stands by the commitment that money will not be an obstacle to a hard-working, dedicated Vocal Music student.

2017-2018 Tour Information will soon be available!
