Theme Park Musician

Live music plays an important role in theme parks around the world, with audiences being delighted by performances from marching and jazz bands to rock groups and serenading princesses. Musicians in this field are confident performers with strong sight-reading, memorization skills, and endurance. They adapt on-the-fly to the environment and audiences.

Employment in a theme park is highly sought after due to the work consistency, job benefits, and interesting work environment. Earning a spot in one of these groups requires winning an audition hosted by the theme park, the repertoire for which is based upon the type of role being hired. Ensemble types in theme parks include live orchestra, marching band, brass quintets, string quintets, jazz brass bands, country groups, vocalists, rock bands, and DJs.

Those interested in performing in a live orchestra as part of a theme park show or roaming within the park itself to interact with guests, performing in a theme park can be an exciting and rewarding performance route to pursue. While no degrees are required, performance degrees can help gain the necessary musical experience and skills needing to succeed in this work.
