Your 2027 ICHSA Lineup

Our 22nd ICHSA season launches in January, and we can’t wait to see what our competitors will bring to the stage! This year, there are more than 3,900 performers in 261 groups from high schools across 28 states competing in our tournament. We are thrilled to see talent returning to the ICHSA in such great numbers, and we are humbled to provide this experience for so many once again.

Competitor Information
Accepted competitors will receive an email from your regional ICHSA producer no later than November 1st with specifics about the day of their show. Events will begin in mid-January and continue through late March. Most shows begin at 7 p.m. with competitor call time at noon, while matinees typically begin at 3 p.m. Please be sure to review our competition rules and judging system. Groups may withdraw by November 1, 2026 for a full refund. Otherwise, we will take your spot as confirmed, and we can’t wait to see you on stage!

Due to scheduling limitations, some groups may be assigned to a quarterfinal for which they had listed a conflict. As all regions this year are full, requests for assignment changes will not be considered unless two groups within the same assigned region self-organize and communicate a mutual switch by November 1st.

Audience Information
Tickets for most events go on sale on November 16th on our events page. Follow us on Instagram for a reminder, and sign up for our mailing list to make sure you are getting all of the latest event info. Many events do sell out in advance, so we highly recommend grabbing your tickets early.

The 2027 International Championship of High School A Cappella Lineup

Eight regions will make up this year’s ICHSA tournament: Great Lakes, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, South, Southwest, West, and UK. All North American regions will have quarterfinal rounds that each advance the top 2 or 3 groups to semifinals. The UK will hold a semifinal round. Each region’s semifinal then advances one group to the ICHSA Finals in New York City.

Special note on advancing: Regions with fewer than 5 quarterfinals will also advance additional groups via a virtual semifinal wildcard (video submission) in order to maximize participation in semifinals.

Regional Breakdown:
Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and Northeast: 5 quarterfinals advance 2 groups each to semifinals. One semifinal advances one group to finals.
South, and West: 3 quarterfinals advance 3 groups each to semifinals. The semifinal wildcard advances one group to semifinals. One semifinal advances one group to finals.
Southwest: 2 quarterfinals advance 3 groups each to semifinals. Semifinal wildcard advances 3 groups to semifinals. One semifinal advances one group to finals.
United Kingdom: TBA
Finals Wildcard: All 2nd and 3rd place groups at each semifinal will be invited to submit a video to compete in a virtual finals wildcard round (video submission), which advances two groups to ICHSA Finals at The Town Hall in New York City!
