New "Expanded" Music Festival

Coming February 25 through March 3, 2024

Traditionally, Ozark Adventist Academy's Music Festival started on a Wednesday and ended with a music concert on Sabbath afternoon or evening. But things are changing this year. Music Fest will start on Sunday, February 25, 2024, and end on Sunday, March 3. Why is the festival longer this year? The Arkansas-Louisiana Conference has decided to make this a subsidized conference-wide event to expose elementary students to other academic areas in addition to music. Since participants will be on campus longer, the music practices can be spread out over five school days instead of two. This will allow students to spend time in other activities such as Skyhawk basketball clinics, go tumbling in gymnastics, operate drones and robots in the robotics lab, and stretch their abilities in Christian drama.

The event is not just open to students in 5th through 8th grades, but junior academy students in ninth and tenth grade as well as home school students are welcome to attend.
