Norwell’s show choirs concluded their regular season competitions with their best results of the season at Carroll High School Saturday.
With 11 choirs in each of the Small Mixed and Women’s divisions, this was the biggest event of Norwell’s 2011 season.
In claiming “Grand Champion” of the Small Mixed Division, the “Knight Moves” headed off Dekalb and Northridge, winning “Best Choreography” and “Best Vocals” in the process. Progressing to the evening competition, where they faced the top four choirs from the Large Mixed Division - Carmel, Huntington North, Zionsville and Franklin Central. In this competition, Norwell placed first runner-up behind Carmel. Carmel also won the caption awards for “Best Choreography” and “Best Vocals.” Zionsville placed second runner-up, while Huntington North won the caption for “Best Stage Crew.”
The Women’s Division proved to be a real three-way fight between Norwell, Carmel and Zionsville. Carmel had inflicted the season’s only defeat on the “Knight Stars”, so Norwell was especially eager to reverse that result. As the awards were announced, it initially appeared they had been unsuccessful, with Zionsville winning the caption award for “Best Vocals” and Carmel winning “Best Choreography.” Overall however, the “Knight Stars” had secured enough points to edge out both to take top honors in the division, with Zionsville in first runner-up position.
Addie Johnson was named “Best Performer” for the “Knight Stars” (24-1) while Tim McBride was “Best Performer” for the “Knight Moves.” (19-1).
The “Knight Sounds”, Norwell’s middle school choir, didn’t compete at Carroll but finished the season 5-1.
Norwell’s “Knight Moves” and “Knight Stars” now look to their scheduled April 8-9 performances in New York as they aim to add national recognition to their list of achievements for the season.
