Great job to all the amazing choirs today. So happy to see some form of show choir this year!
Side Note- My bad if I got some names wrong! They announced best performers on their live so go check that out! They had about 10! Great job to those students!
Results are posted. They only announced the school for which the best soloists belonged to, not which specific choir, so Noblesville and Chesterton folks will have to let us know if the soloist belongs to your mixed or single-gender choir. Also, if you can provide the correct spelling of their name - we can fill that in too.
Congrats to Noblesville, Columbus East, and Franklin Central on their wins!
Plainfield is no longer attending, they pulled out last minute. FC Singers will also not be here but High Voltage will be.
Dinner Break: 7:05-7:45
High Voltage: 7:50
Noblesville: 9:15
Pendletones: 10:35
Awards: 11:30
The Pendleton Heights Choral Boosters made a post that the live feed will be back at 5 pm with Emerald Suites exhibition performance. Originally Emerald Suites was supposed to be at the end of the day before awards, so I'm assuming they changed the performance schedule around and perhaps Plainfield dropped since there's this break? I suppose we'll find out soon enough when they resume.
showchoir.com has Plainfield on at 415. We have to drive from whiteland for rhythm masters who are slated for 630pm. Is there currently a delay on these times?
Mixed Tier 1 prediction
1. Whiteland
2. Noblesville
3. Plainfield
Could be wrong, but I've heard Whiteland stepped up their game with new choreographers. At any rate, can't wait to watch Saturday!

This could be totally wrong. I always struggle to make early season predictions because every year is just so different! There’s different sets, different kids, and sometimes different directors! Some of these groups haven’t competed this season so I am basing some of these predictions off last season. No matter what, I think this is gonna be an incredible competition and it’ll be super fun to see how it unfolds. If anyone else has some other ideas on how this will play out I’d love to hear it!
EDIT: I’m sad to hear FC Singers has dropped out! I was really looking forward to seeing their show this year. They always have spectacular vocals! If High Voltage is still able to compete they should do well in the Single-Gender Division. It’ll be exciting to see how this all plays out!!!
