Six Finalists Advance in Chambersburg A Cappella Competition
Seventeen musical acts faced a panel of five judges at the Capitol Theatre this week, narrowing the field for the 2026 A Cappella & Unplugged competition. The event, held in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, now moves toward a final showdown where one performer will secure a $500 grand prize.
These six acts will perform on July 18 on the steps of the historic Franklin County Courthouse. The event coincides with the 1864 Ransoming, Burning & Rebirth of Chambersburg, a historical reenactment depicting the town's destruction by Confederate forces during the Civil War. By pairing the musical competition with a commemoration of the town’s recovery, the Franklin County Visitors Bureau aims to celebrate local resilience. Attendees at the July 18 event will determine the grand prize winner through live voting.
