Clinton’s Attaché Extends Historic Winning Streak Against Top Illinois Competition
Chatham, IL — Clinton High School’s Attaché Show Choir continued its historic winning streak this weekend with another Grand Champion performance while competing against strong programs from Illinois and other northern states.
Attaché traveled north to compete at Glenwood High School, where the nationally recognized group faced one of its toughest matchups of the season against the Swingsations from Mt. Zion High School and eight other high schools.
Mt. Zion has built a strong reputation in the show choir world and entered the competition with significant momentum this season, already earning Grand Champion honors at two events. The Swingsations program has consistently performed at a high level for nearly a decade, with at least one first-place finish every year dating back to 2016.
Despite the tough field, Attaché once again rose to the top.
In prelims, Attaché’ secured a spot in finals and was also awarded Best Band and High School Best Treble Soloist in a Show (Emory Crenshaw) and Alana Turner was named Best Performer.
The Clinton group extended what has become one of the most remarkable streaks in show choir, maintaining an undefeated run of Grand Champion finishes that dates back to 2014. The last time Attaché finished as first runner-up came more than a decade ago — also during a competition in Illinois. In finals, Attaché received the Grand Champion, Best Vocals and Best Choreography!
