Join the Tivoli Youth Guard and embark on a unique musical journey

Tivoli Gardens' Guard accepts students from the age of 7, and the retirement age is 16.

It is not a requirement to play an instrument at the entrance exam, but applicants from the age of 9 will often already be able to play a wind instrument/percussion or have musical skills that can grant access to the entrance exam.

When joining the Tivoli Gardens' Standard Guard, there is no requirement to play an instrument.

The application deadline is May 20, 2025. 
Auditions will be held subsequently.

Please note, that the language of sessions is in Danish.
