Student
Showcase

The GRAMMY Museum is pleased to team up with our long-time partner, the Kenneth T. and Eileen L. Norris Foundation, to produce the Student Showcase program. This program is designed to offer students an opportunity to showcase their musical talents on stage in the Clive Davis Theater for their friends and family.

The Student Showcase is open to all musical acts. Bands and solo performer from every genre are invited to apply as long as they are high school students currently living in the Los Angeles and Southern California area.

Ahead of the actual showcase, participants will rehearse with music industry professionals who will provide real-time feedback and suggestions. Participants will also work with the Museum’s production team to understand what it takes to produce a live event, including staging, lighting direction, managing the soundboard, and filming. The Student Showcase Finale will be free, open to the public, and livestreamed to reach a wider audience and allow for performers to promote their music. Participants will also receive their performance footage for their social media channels,a nd get tips on content creation and branding.

The program will kick off the museum's GRAMMY Week 2025
