Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Events for School Groups

Our Youth Concerts, often held on campus in large venues such as Mershon Auditorium, are open to school groups of various ages. These concerts offer young students and their chaperones engaging musical experiences performed by student and faculty ensembles. 

  • A registration form opens on both the Celebration Youth Concert and Marching Band Youth Concert web pages in September. Both concerts usually sell out, so register your group as early as you can. 


As part of the Annual Ohio State Jazz Festival held in spring semester, high school jazz combos and big bands of all ability levels are invited to attend High School Jazz Band Day.
