Preparations are well underway for the 2017 William Peace University NC Show Choir Competition. This event will have a middle school and a high school division.
The format will revert back to the one used from 2012-2015: schools will first compete in Regionals which are qualifiers for the State Final. We expect to have 3-4 Regionals statewide.
Regional: March 24 (evening) at Overhills High School in Harnett County
Additional dates and sites to be determined
State Finals: April 29 at William A Hough High School north of Charlotte. High schools will compete in the morning followed by middle schools in the late afternoon / evening.
We will present a show choir clinic on one Saturday in February, date to be determined.
