Show Choir Madness is truly at the heart of what HomeRoom Show Choir is. No, we’re not talking about that sportsball tournament going on right now. We’re talking about the single-elimination voting tournament that takes place each spring.
The first edition of Show Choir Madness happened in 2020. It was designed to lift morale and create some form of competitive aspect after the pandemic robbed many students of at least a portion of their season.
Madness is a 68-choir tournament that follows standard single-elimination rules, with the exception of four ‘play-in’ matchups to determine the final entrants into the field.
In previous years, voting has taken place on X (formerly known as Twitter). However, due to HomeRoom Show Choir expanding to multiple social media platforms this year, all voting will now be done in embedded webpage forms. Polls will be considered ‘active’ for 24 hours after the webpage is published, although viewers of the webpage may still be able to vote for a time after.
Selected show choirs were chosen and seeded based on various factors. Inclusion of a choir should not in any way be interpreted as an endorsement of HomeRoom Show Choir by that choir.
