The last mainstream show choir competition season of the weekend is here, with North Carolina’s lone contest of 2026 and Oceanside boasting the only full California Big Three matchup of the season.

From Advanced Mixed 1 to Intermediate Treble Large and beyond, every division will be hotly contested at the end of the season.

A staggering 38 choirs across nine divisions will hit the stage, with everyone jockeying for late-season success.

The last of this year’s national competitions looms in Branson, and John Burroughs hosts a veritable slew of choirs in Burbank.
