The 2025 competition season starts down south with two different events kicking off the year!

Westside's deep and engaging show took home top honors, while Brandon represented the South well and Omaha South took home a big podium.

Three of the nation’s top groups held firm atop the standings and defended their territory, while four out-of-state groups partied in Wisco.

The lineups are deep this weekend, both in quantity and quality. From Wisconsin to Missouri to Iowa to Nebraska, the action will be tight.

Two-win Westide, southern titan Brandon, upstart Lewis Central and more converge on Omaha to do battle at Millard West.
