PTHS is hosting the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association’s (PMEA) second Contemporary A Cappella Showcase on Saturday, November 1, 2025.
The showcase will feature large group ensembles led by Deke Sharon, renowned as the “father of contemporary a cappella.” With a resume that includes producing the music for the “Pitch Perfect” films and the NBC show “The Sing-Off,” Deke’s leadership will surely inspire all participants.
In addition to these ensembles, the event will include performances by scholastic a cappella groups, a professional headliner group, and workshops led by a cappella professionals from three different states. Rowdy Rhythm, our full ensemble choir, and Room 100, our contemporary a cappella group, will be performing with the large choir AND on their own during the evening concert.
• Time: 10:00 AM – 7:30 PM (Registration begins at 9:30 AM)
• Location: PTHS
• Evening Concert: 7:30 PM
This is going to be an incredibly exciting event, bringing together over 20 schools from the Pittsburgh area for a day filled with music, learning, and collaboration. You’re not going to want to miss it!
