Los Al have officially confirmed via their Twitter that they're going to Nationals.

Danville and DeKalb both have it listed that they're attending. Olentangy will not be attending. I'm not sure whether Findlay is. Ohio schools have state band/choir contest that weekend so that could be a potential conflict.

I'm curious as to how some groups are getting added to the FAME Finals despite not having competed at Chicago, New York, Orlando, and FAME Show Choir America? I thought that was the pre-requisite.
Normally, yes, but FAME has been inviting a lot of groups to compete at nationals this year in order increase the size and quality of the field due to how few groups signed up for the qualifying events this year. I know they've been asking mainly groups that competed in the national finals last year, but I know they've been asking other high profile groups as well.

Some groups are invited to come back if they competed in the year before.

And weird that you guys heard that rumor.
I ain't gonna confirm or deny it though

I did this last year so I'll do it again for this year, here are the mixed division qualifiers listed in alphabetical order and their current status on attending nationals....

Ankeny "Visual Adrenaline"
Ankeny Centennial "Spectrum"
Bishop Luers "Minstrels"
Daniel Hand "Vibe"
Danville "Delegation"
DeKalb "Classic Connection"
Duke Ellington "Show Choir"
Findlay "First Edition"
Hanover "Sound FX"
Jackson Academy "Encore"
Johnston "Innovation"
Madison Central "Reveille"
Olentangy "Keynotes"
Petal "Soundsations"
South Jones "Company"
Tarpon Springs "Syndicated Sound"
Uniondale "Rhythm of the Night"


Bold - Attending Nationals
Italics - Undecided/Unknown
Strikethrough - Not attending

If I missed anyone who was invited, let me know, I just went off of the top 4 from each event. Also, I know of another high caliber group that was invited and is attending but I don't want to put them on the list just yet.

As people announce if a group will be attending the national finals or not, I'll update the list accordingly

South Jones "Company" will be attending!
