Many shows and attractions offer great student rates to make Branson a destination that's affordable for any budget!

In addition, our award-winning theme parks and exciting attractions afford exceptional performance settings. Only Branson offers this unique opportunity to draw on real-life performance experiences at such a professional and sophisticated level.

Student Groups at Top Theaters

Student Groups at Top TheatersRare performance experiences are in store for student groups at the top theaters in the live entertainment capital. "Branson's Most Fun Place to Eat", Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede, is one such venue which opens its doors to student band, vocal and dance groups, giving them the chance to perform before live audiences. Frequently throughout the year, Dixie Stampede showcases student groups for crowds of up to 1,000 people.

Here is what Dolly Parton had to say: "I'm thrilled to welcome student performers to my Dixie Stampede. There is just no experience like playing to a live audience on a real stage. It makes you feel like a star! That was one of my greatest joys as a young person."

Optional pre-show performances available at no extra charge!
