ICCA and ICHSA Finals Results
Phenomenal show in New York last night. A full review will be up in the coming days, but for now, here are the meat and potatoes results (it was difficult to hear some of the specifics on awards over the crowd cheering, so I'll apologize for the incomplete or potentially inaccurate reporting on some of those):
Official Results
ICCA
Outstanding Soloist: All Night Yahtzee, Christopher Diaz, for Rufus Wainwright's "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk"
Outstanding Vocal Percussion: All Night Yahtzee, Travis Smith (I believe it was for the whole set)
Outstanding Choreography: Noteworthy, (again, I think for the whole set)
Outstanding Arrangement: Rocktavo, (I think for Figaro)
Overall Placement:
3. The Zumbyes
2. Rocktavo
1. Noteworthy
ICHSA
Outstanding Choreography: Crimson
Overall Placement:
2. Crimson
1. Men of NoteÂ
Meanwhile, just to stir the pot a little, here were my personal picks:
ICCA
Oustanding Soloist: The Zumbyes, Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through The Grapevine"
Outstaning Percussion: All Night Yahtzee, Travis Smith, whole set
Outstanding Choreography: (I'll list all of three of my top picks for this one, because all three were truly outstanding)
1. Noteworthy, Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered"
2. The Crosbys, Spencer Davis Group's "I'm A Man"
3. The Zumbyes, Michael Jackson's "Thriller"
Overall Placement:
3. All Night Yahtzee
2. Noteworthy
1. The Crosbys
I know (and welcome) the fact that I'll have plenty of folks disagree with my final placement, but to clarify, I have absolutely no problem with the fact that Noteworthy won or that Rocktavo and The Zumbyes placed. This was a truly competitive show, and I was left scratching my head and rearranging my final rankings all throughout the deliberation process.
ICHSA
Solo: Men of Note for "Mary Don't You Weep"
Choreography: The A Cappella Group for The Animaniacs song set to the tune of "Can-Can"
Percussion: Crimson for the whole set
Overall Placement:
2. Crimson
1. Men of Note
