Chelmsford High School Performing Arts Center

Prepare for a vocal extravaganza like no other! The ACA is proud to present Aca-Pocalypse, a dynamic a cappella festival showcasing 18 of the most talented high school and middle school groups from around the region. This year's Aca-Pocalypse promises to be the a cappella highlight of the year, packed into two days of unforgettable performances. Our lineup is so diverse and spectacular, that we’ve structured the event to maximize your experience. For the full impact of this incredible talent showcase, we strongly encourage attending both days—each offering unique performances you won't want to miss! 
Elevating the Aca-Pocalypse festival to new heights, the spotlight shines brightly on Chelmsford's very own vocal champions. <a href="https://www.chelmsfordacappella.org/the-crescendos" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Crescendos</a>, the reigning Northeast Regional Champions of the <a href="https://varsityvocals.com/event/2024_ichsa_ne_sf_mechanics_hall" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">International Championship of High School Acapella (ICHSA) </a>, and <a href="https://www.chelmsfordacappella.org/thethursdayspage" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Thursdays</a>, who clinched an impressive third place in the semi-finals, promise to captivate the audience with their extraordinary performances. These acclaimed host groups will demonstrate their talent and fervor that has catapulted them to the forefront of the competitive a cappella landscape. Adding to the festival's rich tapestry of sounds, gifted vocalists from across the region—including Andover, Bedford, Brookline, Lexington, Marlborough, Medfield, North Reading, and Springfield—will contribute their unique voices and styles. Together, they embody the collaborative spirit and diversity of the a cappella community, making Aca-Pocalypse a showcase of unparalleled vocal harmony and artistry.

Alpha Martial Arts Academy

(This is day one of an 8-session class with no obligation unless you decide to continue. Wear loose, comfortable clothing; no outside shoes.)
Originally one of the ancient Chinese martial arts, Tai Chi is practiced today primarily as a method of exercise that cultivates physical and mental harmony in movement. Its slow, fluid forms—based on the Chinese principle of yin and yang—and its emphasis on relaxed, effortless movement makes it ideal for people of all ages. In this 8 session class you will learn the first section of the traditional Yang-style of long-form Tai Chi. 
Eugene Katz (<a href="mailto:taichikatz@gmail.com">taichikatz@gmail.com</a>) is a certified instructor at Harmony Tai Chi Center (<a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftaichiforhealthweb.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2JfV9smGplmaTWlHQTioV3hx1SrXhpAoTx8cxE9Xaxa5uIZrysp_qSnl4&amp;h=AT0klwBzu37UZvtIsPoPq0VnmvasfVK1rF_o4qqi7gpHsk1LEKXH58G6klNHox0GVUMlsLKboAzV75zvF5pJqGzQRucnZFHkgK9B_r3PPG5GUINPlGPz1bfif3TmgQ9_Gw&amp;__tn__=q&amp;c[0]=AT0NEIMghS5lKHnt3C-78sGM9IQmjAv84kQaTfqS0oOiiRvlAc09d1sQII9Z-5BAdbZBMzQhRmZGf2FynJJP6q4dYZE4dX1B0TiW_czgrSeCI9QJxU2ViKtiDVXH73cqbKQ" rel="nofollow" role="link" tabindex="0" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://taichipan.wixsite.com/taichiforhealth" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">harmonytaichi.com</a>).
