Our 20th 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 4,000 performers in more than 262 groups from high schools across 26 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, the top two groups from each quarterfinal will move on to the semifinal. In the South, Southwest, and West, 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 South, Southwest, and West Regions. The Great Lakes, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast 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, Instagram, or sign up for our mailing list for a reminder! Please remember that many events do sell out, so we do recommend ordering tickets in advance of a show.
Switch Requests: Please note that we have taken all conflicts into consideration. Some groups may be assigned to a quarterfinal where they had listed a conflict due to the number of conflicts listed on their application. In regions that are full (Midwest, Great Lakes, and Mid-Atlantic), requests for switches will NOT be considered unless two groups come together for a mutual switch by December 1, 2024. If you cannot attend your assigned quarterfinal, you may drop out before December 1, 2024 for a refunded entry fee. Any group that chooses to withdraw by December 1, 2024 will be refunded their full entry fee. Otherwise, we will assume you’ve accepted your invitation to compete at your assigned event. No placement changes will be made after December 1.
Please see our acceptances and tentative quarterfinal group placements for the 2025 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].
Congratulations to our accepted groups, and welcome to the 20th season of the ICHSA!
