Dickinson State University's music program will host the 66th Annual Northern Plains Music Festival November 10-11, 2023. This festival features auditioned musicians from more than 25 different high schools in North Dakota, Montana, and South Dakota. The Northern Plains Music Festival consists of three different musical groups: Mixed Choir, Treble Choir and Concert Band.

In addition to rehearsals, high school music directors will be able to attend several workshops for continuing education credit.

  • Black and white formal attire (slacks, skirts, button-down shirts, etc.).
  • Students may choose to wear black and white, or all black.
  • Please dress modestly.

Please be sure to send high quality recordings, and be sure the file name begins with the student’s first and last name. If you have any questions or suggestions for future years, please contact Dr. Jeremy Wohletz.
