EPIC Indoor

Show Title: HiveMind

Program Information: "HiveMind explores the chilling erosion of the individual in an era of technological saturation. The production follows five visual signals, vibrant, predatory entities representing carriers of "the message" as they infiltrate a society of humans. These signals act as conductors of group-think, using rhythmic pulses and hypnotic movement to brainwash the ensemble into a drone-like state of total, unthinking synchronization."

Show Title: SPÍLAIO

Program Information: "If all your life was spent trapped in a world of shadows, would you not be blinded, yet awed by the splendor of the outside light?

Upon your return to the dark, would anyone within your community believe your story and accept the reality of what lies beyond?

Do you dare try to spread your claims and risk persecution for challenging the nature of existence, or do you cave in to the willful ignorance of those around you, succumbing to the comforts of familiarity while forever carrying the burden of the truth?

Presenting our 2026 program: “SPÍLAIO” (Σπήλαιο) [spee-lay-oh] • “CAVE”

Percussion Scholastic Open

Beavercreek HS

Show Title: Unravel

Program Information: "Unravel // verb - to disengage, separate, disentangle, or clear up

Join us on a journey of complexity and density that peels apart, layer by layer, to a singular level, creating clarity. The playful nature of the word “Unravel” is used as a verb from start to finish: from visual phrasing to musical pacing, rhythmic dialogue to metric relaxation, and from dynamic prop usage, creating new environments throughout. We are excited to unravel our show before your eyes!"

Chattahoochee HS

Show Title: Hiraeth

Program Information: "To all those who have wandered before."

Present yet disconnected, we explore themes of isolation, self-doubt, and the quest for appreciation, ultimately revealing that true connection comes from embracing imperfections and the transformative power of our work."

202 Indoor Percussion

Show Title: The Other Side

Program Information: TBA

Grandville Independent

Show Title: Set In Stone

Program Information: "Gargoyles: perched high above, they watch from the rooftops. They’ve spent hundreds of years in the same place, watching humans go about their lives. But one day, they came to life, and realized that maybe there’s something more to their existence than simply being the watchers. In this production, the audience gets to experience everything from the dark, gothic sounds of organs and chanting monks, to the beautiful, heavenly ambiences. Nothing… is Set In Stone."

Horizon Percussion

Show Title: More

Program Information: TBA

Kannapolis Independent

Show Title: Fahrenheit 451

Program Information: "KIP is proud to present our 2026 production, Fahrenheit 451. It tells the classic dystopian tale of a world where knowledge and information is completely censored. All books are burned and firemen are used to start fires, not stop them. Join us along a journey of self-discovery and defiance as we work to save our literary classics!"

Lake Effect Percussion

Show Title: Method In the Madness

Program Information: "Method in the Madness explores total immersion and its cost. Inspired by Heath Ledger’s 30-day isolation, the show follows an artist who builds a character through walk, voice, makeup, and costume—until preparation becomes obsession and the line between performer and persona disappears.

Old Line Independent Percussion

Show Title: STASIS

Program Information: "When the world gets too loud, you look for a way out.

STASIS follows a mind that retreats into VR to drown out the noise—stress, expectations, constant connection, constant input. Inside the headset it’s quiet. Controlled. Safe.

Until it isn’t.

The deeper they go, the more the “escape” becomes a cage: a clean, glowing universe that promises relief… but delivers something colder. Distance. Disconnection. Isolation that feels endless. In a place built to simulate reality, the most real thing left is the loneliness.

This is STASIS:

A glitching dream, a neon void, a system that keeps you numb just long enough to forget you’re alone."

Ravenwood HS

Show Title: The Ripple Effect

Program Information: "“The Ripple Effect” explores how a single action, sound, or moment can expand outward and transform everything it touches. Contemporary music infused with modern and futuristic sound design, delay effects, and audio processing techniques creates a sonic world where ripples are heard as much as they are felt. Visually, shifting colors, gradients, and evolving patterns give shape to those ripples, revealing how influence moves from one performer to the next. Through musical echoes, visual waves, and unfolding motion, the show illustrates how even the smallest spark can grow into powerful, far-reaching change."

South County Combined

Show Title: Redacted

Program Information: TBA

Vortex Percussion

Show Title: Your Idol

Program Information: "Reminiscent of Plato’s “The Allegory of the Cave”, we find our ensemble chained in a cave, knowing only the shadows on the wall and the mysterious idol keeping them captive. A sole performer finds himself freed from the chains, and encourages the others to free themselves. Will our ensemble escape the cave, or will the worship of the idol be too strong to fight against?"

Percussion Scholastic A

North Allegheny HS

Show Title: Eye See

Program Information: "The human eye interprets the world through light, motion, and color. Using rhythmic movement, shifting tempos, and vivid visual design, Eye See illustrates the roles of the rods and cones in the eye, reminding us that perception is shaped not just by what we see, but how we see it."
