Our 19th ICHSA season launches in January, and we can’t wait to see what our competitors will bring to the stage! This year, there are more than 3,500 performers in more than 225 groups from high schools across 29 states competing in our tournament. We are thrilled to see so much talent returning to ICHSA in such great numbers, and we are humbled to provide this experience for so many once again.
Seven regions will comprise this year’s ICHSA tournament: Great Lakes, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, South, Southwest, and West. Most regions will have quarterfinal rounds, however in the Southwest there will only be a semifinal. In the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and Northeast regions, the top two groups from each quarterfinal will move on to the semifinal. In the South and West regions, the top three groups from each quarterfinal will move on to the semifinal.
In order to be accessible and equitable, in all regions with fewer than five quarterfinals (resulting in fewer than our maximum 10 groups at semifinals), there will also be a semifinal wildcard round, allowing for additional groups to advance to the semifinal. This applies to the Midwest, Northeast, South, and West Regions. The Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic regions will not have a semifinal wild card round, as the five quarterfinals will advance a total of 10 groups to semifinals.
Events will begin in mid-January and continue through late March. Tickets for most events go on sale on December 1. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for a reminder! Please remember that many events do sell out in advance, so we recommend ordering tickets in advance of a show.
Please see our acceptances and tentative quarterfinal group placements for the 2024 ICHSA below. If you applied and don’t see your name on the list, or if you have any questions about your placement, please contact ICHSA Director Elise Hackl-Blumstein at [email protected].
Any group that chooses to withdraw by December 1, 2023 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 19th season of the ICHSA!
