A Rich Tradition of Excellence

The Counterpoints, under the direction of Michael Berg Raunick since 2013, are an auditioned mixed choir of 55 members and are nationally recognized as both a premier concert and show choir. They have performed at four Central Division ACDA Conferences, 1 National NAfME Conference, and 1 National ACDA Conference. The Counterpoints were named the Indiana State School Music Association’s top concert choir 15 of the last 30 years and top show choir 10 of the last 14 years, including being named the 2015, 2016 & 2018 ISSMA Show Choir State Champions.
