The festival starts at 10 a.m. at the University of New Hampshire at Manchester. Clinics range in variety from Beatboxing to arranging. Students and teachers will learn concepts about a cappella that will enchance their future performances.

After the clinics the students will then move over to the Currier Museum of Art where they will be provided with a tour of the museum and view the BackStage Pass exhibit. Students will begin sound checks and get ready for their performance.

Starting at 6:30 p.m. the schools will present a concert that is sure to have you feeling the music! All of the students will be performing a large group number: Rock and Roll: A Medley. During the intermission of the concert, all concert attendees are invited to view the museum on a self-guided tour. All funds from the ticket sales will go to support Arts advocacy through the group New Hampshire Citizens for the Arts.
