I am extremely excited for this competition. In 4 years of show choir, I do not believe I have ever been to Fairfield or a competition with so many competing choirs. Good luck to everyone! Look out for ETC, we're coming!

Who is in Large/Small/Single Gender/ Middle School?
Norwell is always good. I respect the director so much and we will see what happens on March 3rd. I am not a fan of predictions, but I enjoy reading them. Thanks to Jeff Clark for the opportunity. This is super exciting!!
Keep in mind there is a Small Mixed Finals this year in the PAC. Top 5 will get to compete again in the night show. There are some fine small mixed show choirs.
Oh I see. No one had mentioned that in the schedule. I stand by what I said. Norwell would make finals large mixed. I would have them anywhere from 2nd-4th depending on BD and Hurricane. Competing small mixed (while that makes sense cuz of their size) if they are anything like last year, they will blow out the competition. Their show was just SO good last year, and the visuals in their show were just perfect. Who knew you could make such BREATHTAKING pictures with 20 people?

So unbelievably excited to actually compete at Fairfield this year. This is my absolute favorite competition and a perfect way to end my high school show choir career. Good luck to all the competing groups this year! Looks like its going to be a great comp!
Wow. A FANTASTIC panel of judges. My only complaint about this competition is I wish Norwell was competing in Large Mixed!!! They made finals here in 2007 and i LOVED their show last year. They would probably make finals here if they were in large mixed.
