Two choirs score their first overall wins in program history and both 4AJC and GTC come out on top of their contests.

From all reaches of Missouri to Kansas and even some Oklahoma groups, this season promises to bring more than its fair share of close battles and surprises.

From Kansas City to Joplin to Branson, many of the nearly 50 choirs competing in Missouri last weekend put their final performance on stage.

Platte County, Carthage, and Hollister will play host to a combined 47 groups this weekend as the season hits crunch time.

Troy Buchanan, Piqua, and Lincoln Southwest all crossed the quarter-century mark in vastly different scenarios.

All you need to know for 25 of the nation's top returning groups, from Connecticut to California.

See how everything shook out in the Show Me State this season!
