Can someone explain why Pike Encores is a tier 2 group for this competition? They have been tier 1 for a long time, and placed 6th in Large school finals?
The divisions at this contest are determined by choir size whereas the large/small divisions with ISSMA are based on school enrollment.
Huntington North: Tier I (40+ performers), Tier II (25-39 performers), and Tier III (24 or less)
ISSMA: Tier I (1560+ enrollment) and Tier II (1559 and below)
The numbers I posted were directly from Huntington North's registration form which outlined their divisions. It's possible they adjusted their numbers post-registration.
This is looking like a pretty tough competition
The judges are
Jeff Cox
Rosalie Geller
Rick Reckner
Micheal Talamonti
And i think they judge every category
