Historic Weekend for Norwell Show Choir Program



All three of Norwell’s show choirs continued their successful season Saturday  at Homestead, however it was the middle school choir that made school history. 

 

Competing against St. Joseph/St. Eliz, Indian Springs, and Northwood,  the “Knight Sounds” won a Grand Championship for the very first time in history of the middle school group. The “Knight Sounds” are in their sixth year of existence as a show choir, and the group consists of 28 middle school students.  

 

The “Knight Sounds” also won the caption award for “Best Vocals,” while Northwood won “Best Choreography” and placed first runner-up. Indian Springs placed second runner-up.

 

The “Knight Moves” were Grand Champions in the Small Mixed Choir division, ahead of Southmont and Columbia City, and won the caption awards for Best Choreography and Best Vocals. The group then competed in the evening show against the top choirs from the Large Mixed Division and placed 2nd Runner-up behind Carmel and Huntington North, and winning the “Best Choreography” caption award. Carmel won “Best Vocals.” 

 

The “Knight Stars” placed 1st Runner-up in the Women’s Division, behind Carmel. Carmel won both caption awards - “Best Choreography” and “Best Vocals.” 

 

“Best Performer” awards in Norwell’s three choirs went to Kalesha Puckett (“Knight Stars,”) Bryan Schmidt (“Knight Moves”) and Jordyn Shaffer (“Knight Sounds.”)

 

The “Knight Stars” season record in Women’s competition now stands at 14-1. The “Knight Moves” are 9-1 in Small Mixed competition, while the “Knight Sounds” are 5-1 in Middle School competition.

 

Norwell’s show choirs will travel to Carroll for their final competition show of the regular season before heading to New York in April to compete.
