TMS Fest '25

May 17, 2025

Held over two days at The Center, TMS Fest '25 brought together musicians of all ages for a fun, informal celebration of a full year of music-making. More than a recital, it's a festival. There's no stiff auditorium silence here, just real music on real stages, shared with family and friends.

Two Days of Music

The weekend kicked off Friday, May 16 with Solo Sessions, giving individual students a chance to share what they've been working on in an intimate, supportive setting. Solo Sessions continued Saturday before the energy shifted into full festival mode.

Something for Everyone

The range of performers made this year's fest especially meaningful. The Youth Choir filled the theater lobby with show tunes and even some choreography. Jam 55, TMS's beloved senior ukulele jam group, brought heart. And musicians from Community Entry Services performed a sing-along as part of our Music Therapy program — a reminder that music belongs to everyone.

Our elementary, middle, and high school rock bands headlined the afternoon rocking out on the Center Stage.

Congratulations Students and Teachers

None of this happens without a year's worth of work. To every student who took the stage this weekend: you earned it. To the teachers who guided, encouraged, and challenged you along the way — thank you. TMS Fest exists because of what happens in lessons and rehearsals all year long, and it showed.

Here's to another great year of music. We'll see you in the fall.

TMS Fest is free and open to all ages. Teton Music School offers music education programs for students of all ages in Jackson. Learn more at tetonmusicschool.org.
