The Stage Debuts at Ludwig Musser Classic at MetLife Stadium

USBands is thrilled to announce a partnership with Varsity Performing Arts and the Association of Popular Music Education (APME) to create The Stage, a performing arts showcase at the Ludwig Musser Classic on October 7 at a location near MetLife Central. 

Set against the iconic backdrop of MetLife Stadium, The Stage is poised to be an extraordinary gathering where musical expression takes center stage.

Small ensembles and performers from USBands programs and schools across the tri-state region are encouraged to bring any kind of musical performance to participate on The Stage. 

The Stage has been designed to showcase non-traditional ensembles, including modern bands, pep bands, Mariachi bands, DJs, and more, whose musical journey transcends convention and marks an opportunity for performers to showcase their unique musical styles while sharing their passion with an enthusiastic audience. 

Performers are encouraged to showcase what music means to them in the unique way only they can, and celebrate authenticity in music on The Stage.

The Stage is the next step in partnership with Varsity Performing Arts which is dedicated to fostering inclusivity and providing a platform for scholastic musical ensembles of all kinds. With The Stage, and the partnership with APME, this mission is amplified as performers are invited to be a part of a new chapter in musical expression.
