Pitch Slapped

Pitch Slapped is a reality show on Lifetime. It premiered on January 5, 2016. It follows a cappella teams from two New Jersey high schools that are mentored by some of the best coaches in the industry as they face off in weekly competitions, leading up to a championship sing-off. Cherry Hill's Stay Tuned learns under the tutelage of Deke Sharon—who was the on-site music director for the Pitch Perfect films—while singer and performance coach Diana Preisler guides Highlands Voices as they prep for their performances.

Stay Tuned
