Northwood’s Pitch Takes 2nd at ICHSA
Pittsboro, NC
-- In October, 2015, Northwood a cappella
group, Pitch Please submitted an audition video to Varsity Vocals for a chance
to compete in the ICHSA (International Championship of High School A Cappella).
Northwood Choral Director, Matthew Hanson was notified in early December that
the students were accepted and would be moving on to compete in the Semi-Final
round in Norcross, GA in late February.
Pitch Please competed this past Saturday at Norcross, HS against 9 other high school a cappella groups from all over the Southeast United States including Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Out of 10 total groups, Pitch Please took the runner up spot placing 2nd in their very first year participating in the ICHSA competition beating groups from Elon and Shelby, NC who both placed 1st in their respective semi-finals last year. Only first place moves onto the Finals round at the Beacon Theatre in NYC in late April. This spot went to an all-female group called "Key of She" from Memphis, TN. Congratulations to all of the students and to Director, Matthew Hanson!
