Usually, inclement weather is an event organiser’s worst nightmare.
And while this week weather issues may be causing more than a few scheduling headaches for the organizers of this weekend’s Norwell Show Choir Invitational, it appears that the net result will be a larger than expected turnout.
Last weekend, Norwell’s own plans to travel south to Anderson had to be shelved due to the weather, and they instead travelled north, to scoop the awards at Northrop. Area schools facing similar weather concerns this weekend, are now looking to Norwell’s event as their best option.
As host school, Norwell’s three show choirs are unable to compete this weekend, however, the Knight Moves (Mixed Choir), Knight Stars (Women’s Choir) and Knight Sounds (Middle School Choir) will all perform exhibitions of their 2010 competition routine.
Last year, Northrop’s Charisma (pictured above at last year's event) edged out the Chesterton Sandpipers, complete with their dancing camel, to claim the Grand Champion award. Whiteland’s Rhythm Masters outpointed Bluffton’s Musical Entourage in the Small Mixed Choir division, while Indian Springs’ City Stars edged out Southern Wells’ Raider Rhythm in the middle school division.
This year, the Solo Division will certainly crown a new champion. Last year’s winner, Megan Meyer of Homestead has graduated. Chesterton’s Kaylee Annable placed first runner-up last year as a junior, and she has to be the one to beat in 2010.
Saturday’s full schedule will be posted when it becomes available.
