Our 13th ICHSA season is right around the corner, and it’s shaping up to be our biggest and best yet! This year, there are 3,117 performers in 204 groups from high schools across 28 states competing in our tournament.
The tournament structure is the same as last season and includes 8 regions: Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Northeast, Northwest, South, Southwest, and West. All regions except for the Northwest and West will have quarterfinal rounds, where the top two or three groups from each quarterfinal will move on to the regional semifinal. The top group from each semifinal will advance to the ICHSA Finals at Lincoln Center in New York City!
Events will begin in mid-January and continue through late March. Tickets for most quarterfinal and semifinal rounds go on sale on December 1. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for a reminder! Please remember that many events do sell out in advance, so we recommend picking up tickets in advance of the show.
Please see our placements for the 2018 ICHSA below. If you applied and don’t see your name on the list below or if you have any questions about your placement, please contact Andrea Poole at [email protected].
Any group that chooses to withdraw from the ICCA or ICHSA prior to December 1st, 2017 will be refunded their full entry fee. Otherwise, we will assume you’ve accepted your invitation to compete at the assigned event.
Congratulations to our accepted groups, and welcome to the 13th season of the ICHSA!
Please note that the listings below were posted on November 15th, are subject to change, and will not be updated here if they do change. Please see our events page for up-to-date listings of our events and their participants. All events that have been scheduled so far will be posted there by December 1st. Thanks!
