The Wahoo show choirs wrapped up their competition season on Saturday, March 3, at Lincoln Northeast.
Though Wahoo was the smallest school in the competition, Royalty went on to receive Grand Champion at the event, along with Best Choreography and Best Newcomer, beating out 13 other groups! This is the first grand championship in Wahoo’s history and caps a record-setting season in many respects.
Legacy, the girls group, enjoyed its first season ever, making huge strides throughout the year.
Royalty finished undefeated in its class for the second season in a row, repeating as the best show choir in Class B, made finals at every applicable competition, and scored higher than ever before. Above and beyond the trophies, this group of band, crew, and singer/dancers grew to be like a second family, and the bonds between members really showed onstage.
Thank you to all who supported and cheered on the show choirs throughout the year. Congratulations on a great season, Legacy and Royalty!
Congratulations Warrior Royalty: 2018 Lincoln Northeast Competition Grand Champions!
