Ten  students from Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS) participated in the 2025 American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) National Conference in Dallas.

Elementary, middle, and high school students across the country submitted auditions for the prestigious event. For the audition, students sang a pre-selected audition piece, and judges identified the highest scoring students out of over 5,000 audition submissions for selection into the event.

Upon arriving in Dallas, students rehearsed the music for three days before putting on a final performance.
