One day. Two hundred singers. A whole lot of a cappella.
Join Face Vocal Band for the inaugural Face Choral & A Cappella Festival (aka FaceFest) on Friday, October 16, 2026, at Monarch High School in Louisville, Colorado!
Designed for advanced high school choirs of all kinds, FaceFest brings students together for a day of workshops, clinics, performances, collaboration, and all things contemporary a cappella.
Participating choirs will work alongside Face, perform with and for other school ensembles, and prepare two songs to sing with Face during the festival and that evening’s public performance.
And the really big deal? Participating students will have the opportunity to join Face onstage at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on November 8 for our 25th Anniversary Concert (ticket purchase and morning sound check required)!
It’s an incredible opportunity to learn from professional performers, connect with other young singers, perform on some pretty amazing stages, and be part of a truly unforgettable musical experience.
