The 2024 Gold Medal Showcase will be held at the new Groton Hill Music Center in Groton, Massachusetts. This stunningly innovative and renowned facility opened last year with MICCA’s 2023 Gold Medal Showcase being one of its very first events. We are truly honored to be returning this year! Performances will be scheduled from 10:00 am through 8:00 pm on Sunday, April 14th.

Directors will initially be asked about the availability of their groups for the showcase when they submit their performance repertoire for the festival. If a group receives a gold medal at the festival, the director will be asked to confirm their availability at the festival site. If directors are unsure of the availability of their groups, they will have till 3:00 p.m. on Monday, April 8th to update their availability with Gold Medal Showcase co-chair, Jason Bielik via email at . A schedule will be sent to all groups by the end of the day on Wednesday, April 10th.

Although we have secured a substantial window of time for performances, it may not be possible for all groups to be scheduled who receive gold medals. In the event that we have more groups available than we can accommodate, we will use a lottery system to select groups. In this system, the number of groups selected from a particular ensemble/grade level will be determined by the percentage of gold medal recipients from that ensemble/grade level category. For example, if 20% of available gold medal groups are high school choirs, then 20% of performance slots will be dedicated to high school choirs.
