All I&E Performers/Groups will need to create their own Performing Unit within CompetitionSuite by visiting the Group Membership Page and creating a new group under the " Independent & Ensemble Registration" tab.  I&E Solos and Groups will be able to create their group starting on February 14, 2026.

Creating a group is free of charge, and just gets you integrated into the CompetitionSuite system, it is NOT your registration for the event.

Each I&E Performance will need to register as a new group under the "Independent & Ensemble Registration" tab on the Group Registration page.

Once you have created a new group for your I&E Performance, you will be able to register for the event via CompetitionSuite under the "Registration" tab of the I&E Group, once the Registration Window opens.  Due to increased demand, there is a limited number of slots available on the day of championships, which will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. 
Event Registration will open on Wednesday, February 18, 2026 at 7:30AM Central.
