What is Prime A Cappella?

Prime A Cappella is a non-profit, mixed voice a cappella program for university level and high school students in the Greater Dayton Ohio area.  Prime was initially founded as an after school performance program exclusively for Centerville High School, but starting Fall of 2023 auditions were modified to invite all students from Southwest Ohio. Prime's "season" follows the typical school year and disbands every summer with annual auditions determining each season's membership.


Prime A Cappella's musical style is centered around contemporary, pop a cappella (think Pentatonix), in which all rhythm and sound is produced with the human voice and mouth. As such, Prime learns and performs today's most challenging  multi-part, a cappella arrangements. Since the group rehearses weekly and in the evening, individual preparation and commitment outside of rehearsal is paramount for group success.

Why should you audition?

We believe your experience with Prime will be challenging, inspiring, and uniquely educational. Read about previous member experiences (students and parents) who have worked with us in the past!
