Announcing the 7th Annual Show Choir Madness

Show Choir Madness is truly at the heart of what HomeRoom Show Choir is. No, we’re not talking about that basketball tournament happening this upcoming week. 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.

The objective of Show Choir Madness is simple: vote for your favorite show choir(s) as they advance through the bracket in a bid to become the fan favorite winner for this year. No prizes are awarded to winners besides the bragging rights of being Show Choir Madness champion for the year.

Madness is a 64-choir tournament that follows standard single-elimination rules. 

All voting will 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. Voting will start at midnight Central time of the scheduled round date, and end at 11:59 p.m. that day. HomeRoom Show Choir reserves the right to review any voting irregularities and make executive decisions that may impact the result of matchups.

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.
