Expansion Details
We are excited to share that BTN has officially moved the choir and orchestra festival to the Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells, marking an exciting new chapter for our organization. Along with our new location, we’ve expanded our offerings to now include middle school jazz ensembles as well as middle school modern band programs. Concert bands will remain at the Kalahari offering more space for ensembles.
This move allows us to increase the amount of time each ensemble spends with its clinician while also creating new opportunities to engage and encourage additional groups to participate.
Why Chula Vista?
Imagine bringing your middle school choir, orchestra, jazz ensemble, or modern band to perform at the Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells—where music, fun, and unforgettable memories all come together! Not only will you get to showcase your hard work in an inspiring setting, but your group will also have access to amazing amenities like 26 thrilling waterslides stretching over 1.5 miles long and waterparks that have been voted among the Top 10 in the USA—perfect for relaxing and celebrating before or after your performances. With beautiful views of the Wisconsin River from the resort and award-winning food to refuel and hang out together, this trip is about so much more than just music—it’s about team bonding and fun. We’re also working on optional experiences like a classic Wisconsin Dells Duck Ride or a scenic boat tour to give your group even more ways to explore and make the festival truly special.
“It is a fantastic opportunity for students to perform for other students and a panel of clinicians. Having the opportunity to work with some renowned clinicians was really beneficial for students to get a fresh perspective on their music and for teachers to get some new ideas.”
