Help Acadepitch take 'Pirates of the Aca-ribbean' up to Edinburgh!

A short summary of our project

We are raising funds to take Acadepitch's musical parody inspired by 'Pirates of the Caribbean' to the Edinburgh Fringe this summer. This will be an incredibly valuable experience for all of our student members and your support is really appreciated!

Who are we?

We are Acadepitch productions. Made up of two of Bristol University's a cappella groups, Academy (male and non-binary) and Pitch Fight (female and non-binary)! Every year we come together to put on an incredible show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

our story

One of our many traditions is going to the Edinburgh Fringe festival for the past 6 years. This year will be the 7th year running, and it also marks both groups' 10 year anniversaries, which makes it an even bigger celebration!

However, taking the show to Edinburgh this year is proving difficult because of the increased costs of venue hire, travel and accommodation. We need your help to be able to put on this year's Acadepitch production. Our society budget is unfortunately unable to cover these expenses and the amount our students can contribute with is limited. The University, through generous Bristol alumni and friends contributions, will match the first £500 we raise - so whatever amount you are able to give today, will be worth double!

The Fringe is an integral part of our calendar as it fosters relationships between new members across both groups and helps to develop and maintain relationships for the following year. It also provides the opportunity for them to meet other A Cappella groups and industry creatives, making it a brilliant networking opportunity.

Your donations will help to not only develop and sustain current relationships, but also foster new ones, helping us to build a legacy which will last generations. Thank you so much for helping us keep this legacy alive.

Where will the money go?

All funds will go towards making our Fringe show the best it can possibly be, while lowering the high attendance costs for our student members.

Cost breakdown:

Venue hire (one week): £2,441
Fringe registration fee: £393.60

Any extra funds will go straight back into the A Cappella society for future shows!
