DCappella was formed through a national search, and several of the members will be familiar to Disney fans. Antonio Fernandez, the groups beatboxer, previously was a member of the American Music Machine, which performed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/parks\/epcot-park\/\">Epcot<\/a>. Soprano Morgan Keene has a lot of Broadway experience, including the leading role of Katherine in the Newsies Tour (where I saw her a few years ago) and her stage presence was fantastic through the evening.<\/p>\n<p>Outside the specific Disney connections, Shelley Regner, the mezzo, appeared in the Pitch Perfect movies, Orlando Dixon (baritone) appeared on The Voice, and tenor RJ Woessner appeared on the tour of Vocalosity. The group is rounded out by Joe Santoni (bass) and Sojourner Brown (alto). All of these musicians have years of performance experience, and all of that experience showed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-68841\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-2-225x400.jpg\" alt=\"DCappella\" width=\"225\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-2-225x400.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-2.jpg 337w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-68842\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-3-225x400.jpg\" alt=\"DCappella\" width=\"225\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-3-225x400.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-3.jpg 337w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Side note: since H2O is a sponsor, you can get some free samples!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The show itself is a fun musical journey through Disney history.

One that Disney Parks fans will love was a tribute to the classic attractions of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/disneyland\/\">Disneyland<\/a>, complete with photos and footage from the early days of the park.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-68844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-5-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"DCappella Disneyland\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-5-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-5.jpg 549w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-68845\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-6-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"DCappella Disneyland\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-6-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-6.jpg 549w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-68846\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-7-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"DCappella Disneyland\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-7-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-7.jpg 549w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Several of the members got individual showcases, and probably the most impressive was that of the vocal percussionist Antonio Fernandez. Besides the normal excellent beatboxing you would expect with any high level a cappella group, he did some things with his voice that really defy description, including some multiphonics more commonly seem with traditional throat singing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-68848\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-9-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"DCappella Little Pigs\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-9-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-9.jpg 549w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The highlight of the evening, though, was probably their rendition of the Three Little Pigs. This was a completely vocal soundtrack of the cartoon, complete with sound effects and a hilarious running commentary by Orlando Dixon. It was impressive, entertaining, and very well done.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-68849\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-10-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"DCappella Big Hero 6\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-10-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Dcapella-10.jpg 549w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One thing I haven\u2019t really mentioned yet is the production itself \u2013 as you might imagine with Disney, this isn\u2019t simply people singing on stage, it is a full experience. Behind the members of DCappella are multiple screens showing some clips from the films or, often, new animations related to those songs created just for this concert. Additionally, several times throughout the evening a screen came down in front of them to insert the group directly into the experience. One quick word of advice on that, though \u2013 in the venue I was in there are a bunch of seats that wrap around to the side of the stage. For most of the show, this wasn\u2019t a probably at all, but for those moments when the screen came down that whole part of the experience was lost on us. If you are coming and want to get the full experience, being able to view the stage straight on would be your best bet.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DCappella - Trashin&#039; the Camp\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M36q_jOix3Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So, as a whole, the concert was a fun evening that definitely will get you into the Disney spirit.
