What it reported doing in 2024
Two full days of classes, five primary public concerts and several smaller public concerts: 25 masterclasses/presentations on different aspects of vocal music and approx. 24 coachings to a cappella groups, each with as many as 25 members. Headliners included The Swingles (Grammy-winning, jazz and pop-classical UK-based mixed quintet) Pipeline (Alaska-based, all female pop and swing trio), Classic Sounds (East Coast Hall of Fame Doo-Wop mixed quintet based in NY), Midtown (top ranked Barbershop quartet), Bizkit (hip hop live looper and 2021 Grand beatbox battle champion), Kid Beyond (California indie live-looper), The Beatbox Dance Alliance (NY-based, beatbox and dance team feat. at Lincoln Center), Blue Jupiter (NY-based, Broadway pop quartet), The Trills (mixed pop sextet based in California with large online following) and more. Respected a cappella experts provided written commentary to approx. 13 HS a cappella groups and 9 trophies were awarded for achievement in music performance at the HS level and 2 at the collegiate/semi-pro. These trophies continue to encourage further accomplishments in the arts. ACA-IDOL Concert provided expert live oral critiques and awards to approx. 7 collegiate or semi-pro groups. The Single Singers, an open a cappella group, rehearsed & performed. This group is open to all ages. It allows anyone to perform in a high quality group at the festival, on the main stage, with professional light and sound equipment. These activities build community, cross generational communication and bonding, and expose the public to the arts while representing a wide variety of age, style, genre, make-up, geographic, etc. backgrounds. A silent auction with proceeds supporting the Cure Alzheimers Fund, a 501(c)(3) Public Charity, also took place.
