A Cappella Performances at NACC


AcaPop Performances
March 24th-March 26th, 2022
Every attending a cappella group will be selected to present an 15 minute off-mic set to entertain convention crowds on the grounds throughout the festival (unless they are selected for a mainstage showcase). These performances are high energy and filled with excitement, as joyful event attendees surround and cheer for you in an intimate setting. You don’t need extensive experience on a sound system to thrive in our supportive environment.
