If anyone is interested, I’m currently hosting a podcast called “Midwest Sound” about everything show choir in Indiana! In the most recent episode, I cover the IN small school state finals as well as this competition. I also give detailed notes and opinions on the mixed groups that performed here. Here is the link!

There were many excellent performances at the state competition this year. Kudos to the schools that made such great sacrifices to compete. A very special congratulations to Fishers Sound as back to back Single-Gender champions. You should be incredibly proud of all your hard work and dedication.
Hey! Thought I'd put down my predictions, this looks like a pretty tight comp with a lot of school with a lot of firsts and lots of captions to each school and many schools with placements. Anyways, here are my predictions!!
Mixed Division--
BB: F.C. Singers (Franklin Central)
BV: Counterpoints (North Central)
BC: Belles Et Beaux (Plainfield)
GC: Counterpoints (North Central)
1RU: Accents (Avon)
2RU: Belles Et Beaux (Plainfield)
3RU: F.C. Singers (Franklin Central)
4RU: Central Sound (Lawrence Central)
5RU: Spotlight Singers & Company (Brownsburg)
GC - fishers sound
1RU- brownsburg starlight voices
2RU fc high voltage
3RU plainfield femmes fatales
4RU avon attraction
5RU north central descants
6RU decatur central expressions
7RU castle knightingales
8RU lawrence central sweets
I TOTALLY agree with the disclaimer. Every single one of these groups are amazing and there is just no telling how ISSMA will play out! Thank you for mentioning that! It's just for fun y'all!
I've seen all of the groups live, and the stars are really just insurance for when I'm inevitably wrong haha - these groups are ones I thought were particularly close. (And yes I'm being very optimistic in my own regard).
GC: FC Singers (BV, BC)
1RU: North Central
2RU: Fishers
3RU: Brownsburg
4RU: Plainfield
5RU: Avon
6RU: Laf Jeff
7RU: Castle
8RU: Central Sound
I haven’t seen many of the shows but I have seen bits of my top 6 so that’s all I can really base it in. I’m a huge singers fan so I think for me at least it will be a sweep. Beyond that NC and Fishers are good comp to each other and Brownsburg and Plainfield have had great years as well so anything can happen
Predictions ( just for fun plus there’s a lot of really good groups this year)
Mixed
GC: electrum
1RU: counterpoints
2RU: belles,et beaux
3RU: FC singers
4RU: brownsbrug
5RU: knight sensations
6RU: accents
7RU central sound
8RU: first edition
Univoice
GC: fishers sound
1RU: starlight voices
2RU: femmes fatales
3RU high voltage
4RU: attraction
5RU sweets
6RU descants
7RU knightingals
8RU expressions
I would have put descants higher but I honestly feel like this is not one of their strong years despite having really good vocal moments, most of this is based on the shows I’ve seen the only ones I haven’t seen is Avon, expressions, Lafayette Jefferson and maybe Franklin central????
