just to throw it out there in the middle of all this (pointless) drama, i loved this competition! sure, i thought we deserved a better placement than we got, but crap happens. everyone gets screwed over/shafted....there's no avoiding it, so we just deal.
Oh, we definately performed to the best of our ability. There's nothing we regret about the content or the acuracy or energy of our show. As far as vocals and choreography, we fell in the Top 3. But your right, the judging is subjective. Where we fell point wise, were areas that were compltely up to the judges opinion, things like costumes, and entertainment value. I don't think that we got "shafted", nor do I think there was anything wrong with or show. We did the best we could and unfortunately this time, it wasn't the judges' favorite show. I guess thats how it goes. But we definately performed to the best of our ability. As of January 20, that is. Its only gonne be 30X better come our next competiton. I don't agree with our placement in the end, but I think all the groups did very good. I've still never seen Medina's show. We performed right after them in pre-lims and right before them in finals so I haven't seen them yet. But I've heard nothing but good things about them. And I loved Solon's performance. Their dance break was awesome and their vocals were on point. They were very consistent. All the groups did amazing. It must have been a tough decision. It wasn't our day, but nonetheless, we're still happy that everyone enjoyed our show.
Good job Sarah that sums it up....And yeah thanks to the people that trashed our room

Medina's show was...
Opener: Everybody Dance (Steel Pier)
Second: Unwritten
Ballad: Ready to Fly (Richard Marx)
Guys: ?
Girl: Love Can Move Mountains/Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Closer: Everlasting Love/Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher
The opener for Medina is "You do Something to me" and the guys tune is "You dont know how I feel"
Best of Luck to everyone this weekend. Try not to take everything so serious its only high school show choir, for 90% of you this past weekend will be insignificant in a matter of years.

Well if they are in different arrangements then that makes it alot different but sounds like all the groups were very close point spread wise . . does anyone know what it was?
First of all score wise what happened, happened in my opinion a well-respected judge such as Mr. Crandall has no intentions of favoring any groups. He dose his job. In addition, for competitive students, show choir parents, and spectators its one thing to post predictions and their opinions on other groups. But I don’t feel it is ok for potential judges who are supposed to be professional and impartial to post their opinions on any upcoming competitions or the groups they are judging. From my understanding one of the current members posting under this topic is doing just that and is rumored to be a judge at the upcoming "Falls" competition. My biggest concern would be a much larger scandal then the alleged "point controversy" at the Garfield invitational.
