Join the legendary Deke Sharon, 'Father of Contemporary A Cappella', in an extended session in which he will teach the audience a mash-up from the famous film franchise.
Full disclosure: Deke, a member of our international panel of jurors, also happens to have been musical director for the three blockbusting ‘Pitch Perfect’ films! He’s chosen a song from the first movie – the Bellas’ Finale Mashup (‘Price Tag’, ‘Don’t You Forget About Me’, ‘Tonight’) – but they’re not singing it, YOU are! Become one of the Barden Bellas and, with Deke’s expert guidance, you’ll soon be singing all the parts and crushing it with fellow Pitch Perfect fans... entirely a cappella (with some vocal percussion). Prepare to hear several behind-the-scenes stories as well. All ages and singing levels welcome. Aca-mazing!
