Thanks to the people at Medina for running a extremely organized well run competition. We really enjoyed watching all the choirs at this event. The people from medina were friendly helpful and the changes were wonderful
Thank you to the huge outpouring of support for First Edition during this very difficult time. I speak for everyone in the FFE family when I say we deeply appreciate it! Please keep the positive thoughts coming our way. We feel them, and we continue to need them.
Thank you so much!

It's so disheartening to hear of all of the difficulties you are dealing with right now Mr. Manley. I hope everything is resolved as soon as possible.

We ran into copywrite issues and the company we're trying to work with is continuously changing things on us which makes us unable to perform our music.
Unless you're living under a rock, this shouldn't be breaking news. It's been discussed a couple places on this site like here, here, and here. FFE had to pull out of Churubusco last week as well. Fingers crossed it's figured out in time for Grove City in a couple weeks.
Also not to get too far off topic from this wonderful competition, but special shout out to the Ohio show choir folks for their outpouring of support via Twitter and other outlets for Findlay First Edition. I know FFE appreciates it. There were some beautifully written notes and choirs pledging to represent Findlay's colors/wear ribbons at Medina. This is what the Show Choir Community is for... certainly jazz hands and high notes when things are going swimmingly, but it's also a place of support when things are tough. Never forget that.
Unfortunately, we do not plan to offer our live feed this year. Very sorry for the inconvenience. We do offer one of the most comfortable auditoriums around and a great line-up of show choirs... I hope you can make it.
