Lots of great exciting stuff for this weekend...Singers and Xtreme are hyped up!!!
For ETC I know most competitions make them go in their highest class, since technically they pull from a very large population. That's how it is listed in most rules.
Piqua is Class B, because their official enrollment is less than 1000.
Yeah, that makes sense for ETC. And thanks for giving the number range for the classes. Though, I think what still seems to be confusing is what exactly is Piqua's "official enrollment"? As I mentioned earlier, the information on GreatSchools.org indicated Piqua was above 1000. I recognize that website may not be 100% accurate or up-to-date, but also the Ohio Dept. of Education has enrollment numbers for the past several years and Piqua has consistently been above 1000. Even on their own website, Piqua High School identifies as having 1050 students.
It's just strange that multiple sources, including Piqua itself, says they're above 1000. So I am genuinely curious what their "official enrollment" is considered to be...

Really bizarre thought...but purely out of curiosity, how is ETC put into a class when schedules are made up? I have always found that classes are always a fine line when it comes to competitions because everywhere does it different and has their own way of dividing the field up.
I'm curious as to why Piqua is class b here? My guess is school population?
If you look at enrollments, Central Crossing, Marysville, and Lebanon are up in the 1,500s range while Piqua is down in the 1,200s range.
Although, Piqua is significantly the largest school in Class B. The next closest choir is Walsh Jesuit in the high 900s. From there the ranking of Class B school enrollments from largest to smallest is Ross, Sheridan, Buckeye Valley, and Jonathan Alder.
Seems like Piqua is a better fit in Class A, regardless though it doesn't really matter aside from Prelims awards. Class B is still competing against Class A for those finalists spots.

The performance times are out there. I saw a copy of the schedule, but unfortunately it didn't have the A/B/C divisions so it was kind of useless to me.
