AUDITIONS
Pop A Cappella Auditions
Open to all current 5th - 11th graders
Brandon Vocal Arts has 3 elite, pop a cappella ensembles. There are 2 groups at Brandon High School and 1 at Brandon Middle School. Each group brings their own sound and presentation to the stage. As a member of these groups, you will be challenged musically. However, you will also create a community within BMS and BHS that values you and helps you grow as a person. We travel as a group so you will get to meet other people from all over the nation who enjoy this style of performing. You will also get the opportunity to meet with different colleges; there's scholarships to be earned in pop a cappella whether you want to major in music or not. We compete on an international level, and we yearly release music on Spotify. If you are interested in any of the above, please join us for auditions and see what we're all about!
BackBeat - middle school mixed group
Brilliance - high school single gender group
B1nine - high school mixed group
