Who We Are
Sharing our love for music is the reason we started WorldStrides Heritage Performance nearly 35 years ago. Enriching the lives of students through music and performance opportunities is at the heart of everything we do. We take pride in providing access to perform in renowned venues and exciting destinations that help foster a lifetime of music appreciation. Each year, thousands of directors and tens of thousands of students from all over the country join us in creating memories that last forever.
Bands, choirs, orchestras, cheer and dance teams will each find a dynamic performance event that is exciting, educational, and fun. Music festivals, bowl games, parades, and custom programs are ready to be tailored for your students. When you choose a WorldStrides Heritage Performance program, you can be assured that you are making the best decision for your students.
Our passionate and professional team is at the core of our success. Our world-class customer satisfaction scores are a testament to the quality of our work. Every year, directors consistently rate our team at the highest levels.
