Our team includes band directors, music educators and professional musicians to ensure that our programs offer concrete educational value and career insight. Our years of experience and industry network means we truly understand the ins and outs of operating a smooth performance tour!

Performance Opportunities

Parades

March in parades across the country, from the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, to the National Cherry Blossom Festival parade in Washington D.C., to the Rose Parade in California. You could even travel abroad and march down the streets of Dublin in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade or through the west end of London in The London New Years Day Parade!

Theme Parks

Theme Parks like Six Flags Great Adventure are a fun and family-friendly location for your band to show off their skills! A band trip to a Disney or Universal Studios park offers groups the chance to both perform for a live audience and participate in educational workshops!

Festivals & Competitions

Foster growth, cooperation, and friendly competition at special band events around the country! See the newest ideas and talent at the Midwest Band Clinic in Chicago, IL; or show off your group's talent at the Wind Guard International in Dayton, OH and the Bands of America Grand Nationals in Indianapolis, IN.

ETA staff was incredible. They bent over backwards to accommodate changes, meals, family requests, etc. The service was unbeatable, and they were knowledgeable of NYC itinerary needs! The online payment system and detailed itinerary were super helpful. The eight ETA bus Tour Managers were incredible.

"ETA performance programs are the best programs out there. They are thoughtfully planned with enough time for education, down time, and fun. We enjoy working with their staff because they are flexible to our needs and last minute requests!"

From The Band Room to Broadway Show & Workshop - New York, NY

Hailed by the New York Times for her “magnificently sweet tone,” Broadway oboist, Keve Wilson, shares a 45-minute autobiographical whirlwind of her life in music. Students get to see firsthand the dedication it takes to have a career as professional musician. With innovative programming and virtuosic playing, Keve combines memories of her high school practice room with stories of life in a Broadway orchestra pit, in a Hollywood recording studio, and on the road touring the world.

The average choir director spends over 100 hours per year planning school trips.
