At Music Showcase, we believe in nurturing young talent and providing opportunities for students to shine on stage. Our FAOPA Competition Team is a premier audition-based group made up of dedicated performers ages 8–18 who travel across the country to showcase their skills. These talented students train rigorously in pantomime, character development, ensemble and solo vocal performance, challenging choreography, and technical theatre skills—preparing them for both competitions and future careers in the performing arts.

This February, our Competition Team took their talents to the Musical Theatre Competitions of America (MTCA) in California, where they delivered outstanding performances and brought home an impressive collection of awards! Their dedication, passion, and teamwork truly paid off, and we couldn’t be prouder of their achievements.
