From Newburgh, Indiana, the Castle High School Knightingales are an all-female show choir now in their 14th season of competition. The group has captured awards through the years including “Most Creative Show,” best costumes, best stage crew, best back-up band, best vocal sound, and first place women’s choir and have been ladies’ division finalists at Anderson Highland, Ben Davis, Center Grove, DeKalb, Huntington North, Mooresville, North Central, Pike, Princeton, Southwestern, and Warren Central. They consistently earn Superior / Gold ratings at I.S.S.M.A. contests, both at the district and state levels. The group has twice earned 1st place onboard Carnival Cruise Lines’ “Festivals at Sea” programs in contests onboard their ships. They have qualified for spots in the state show choir championships five times, and last year were named 3rd runner-up at the state finals. Featuring choreography and visual design by Rob DiComandrea, the group is under the co-direction of Mr. Brian Adcock and Mrs. Suzanne Chambliss.
