AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITY & SCHOOLS – A CAPPELLA AWARDS (AUS-ACA)
Vocal Australia is the proud home of A Cappella in Australia. For the last 3.5 years we have run major a cappella festivals, showcases, workshops and masterclasses nationwide.
After the success of our inaugural GET VOCAL School Competition at our 2012 GET VOCAL Festival we have decided to expand our competition program to incorporate divisions for School, University and Community A Cappella groups nationwide. With that growth comes a new name for the competition!
AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITY & SCHOOLS – A CAPPELLA AWARDS (AUS-ACA)
AUS-ACA will give Secondary School, University and Community singers the opportunity to compete, observe, be inspired, learn from each other and network with fellow singers in a friendly and encouraging environment.
Vocal Australia is an ambassador to CASA (American Contemporary A Cappella Association) and has chosen to produce AUS-ACA after being inspired by the growth and talent of the international a cappella community that is evolving and flourishing through participation and exposure to contemporary a cappella through programs such as the ICCAs (International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella) and the ICHSAs (International Championship of High School A Cappella) and the Voice Festival UK.
You may be aware that the ICCAs was the inspiration for the recent hit a cappella movie PITCH PERFECT. You may also be aware that an ICCA group provide the vocals for The Warblers on GLEE. You may even be aware that due to the rise of school and university a cappella groups overseas there is now a 100% a cappella TV show THE SING OFF that has aired 3 seasons on NBC (with a 4th on it’s way) plus separate seasons in China, France and Holland!
It’s time for Australia to show the world what we’ve got!
