The National Youth Choir is made up of 7-10 choirs from across the country who were invited to send in audition material before being chosen to participate. In order to be considered for the honor of featured solo choir, groups were also invited to send in recordings of their groups from 2010 through present day. After submitting the required audition materials, the Archmere Academy Mastersingers were selected as the only solo featured choir. They performed a 30-40 minute concert prior to the National Youth Choir's performance. This was the second time the choir has earned this honor, the first was in April of 2013. The Archmere Mastersingers are only the 2nd choir in the history of the Festival to achieve a repeat solo concert performance as the featured solo choir.
