About Ignition!
Ignition! was formed in February 2004. After a two year hiatus we are back and ready to have some fun. Ignition! has been fortunate to perform several shows and travel to many places thus far…and hope to do a lot more of it in the future!
Contest Career
Ignition! made their contest debut in April 2004 after just a few weeks of rehearsal; the quartet was a few points away from a wild card invitation to the 2004 International contest. The following fall Ignition! placed 2nd in the Rocky Mountain District contest. Ignition! posted a qualifying score for the 2005 international contest in Salt Lake City, but due to personnel changes were unable to compete. Ignition! became RMD champions in October of 2005, placed 21st at the 2006 international contest in Indianapolis and originally received 12th place in the 2007 International contest in Denver. Unfortunately, Ignition! was disqualified in 2007 due to issues getting one of our songs cleared properly before contest. In 2008 Ignition! finished 16th in the world in a very tight top 20 contest. The quartet continues to look forward to the future and what it may bring.
Traveling
Ignition! has traveled around the Rocky Mountain, Far Western, Sunshine, Illinois, and Central States District doing shows and performing at a variety of places. Ignition! looks forward to performing at a show near you in the future.
