Performance Events

PCA believes it is important for each student to have access to performance opportunities at every level throughout his or her academic career. The classroom provides daily hands on use of musical instruments in both organized and free flow methods. Outside of the classroom, PCA provides many performance opportunities throughout the year for our students.
