Heart of America Championships is committed to providing fair, educational and affordable events with the highest level of professionalism and integrity. We believe that students can learn as much off stage as they do on stage. Thus, we strive to provide a safe and friendly space where performers and their entourages can stay, perform, eat, find age-appropriate entertainment and learn – all in one location.

The Best Venues for the Best Performers

Directors, students and parents alike will find everything they need at a Heart of America Championship site. Heart of America features the highest quality performers in choral groups from all regions of the country, so dynamic housing accommodations in iconic locations are a must.

Heart of America locations make it easy to design a full trip experience. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or this is your first adventure with Heart of America Championships, you’ll feel the love from the moment you arrive.
