Our 15th ICHSA season launches in January, and we can’t wait to see what all of our competitors will bring to the stage! This year, there are over 3,850 performers in 250+ groups from high schools across 27 states competing in our tournament.
The tournament has grown since last season and includes 7 regions: Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Northeast, South, Southwest, and West. All regions 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 The Town Hall 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 2020 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 by November 30th, 2019 will be refunded their full entry fee. Otherwise, we will assume you’ve accepted your invitation to compete at your assigned event.
Congratulations to our accepted groups, and welcome to the 15th season of the ICHSA!
Please note that the listings below are being 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!
