This was a very fun competition, and I wanted to say Congrats to all Finalists, and to everyone throughout the day!!! The competition was amazing! Congrats to Mundelein and Piqua..(hey Lindsay and all my other friends), as well as Franklin Central and Beavercreek. Good luck to all the rest of the season!!! Congrats again to all!!!
i am curious about the Zionsville "Royalaires" show though, so if anyone saw them and would like to comment it'd be much appreciated.
Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the whole thing -- they cut it short due to time. We saw three of the numbers, all of which I thought were very good. I loved the set, too -- the stairs thing seems to be popular, although maybe it just seemd that way because they immediately followed Beavercreek.
Wow. This was a great competition. Congratulations to all the Show Choirs who competed. Everyone really worked hard in Finals and I couldn't be more proud. This competition was ran very smoothly, and I wanna thank all those who volunteered that day and helped us out so much.
Once again, congratulations, everyone did amazing. See some of you at Twinsburg and Fairfield.
I just wanted to say congrats to all the choirs. I went and watched finals and you all did amazing shows!!
I also want to say oh my gosh I loved Franklin Central!! FC Singers and High Voltage were great!! They were so entertaining. I loved the song about being cute that the girls did and I loved the oompa loompas!! It was so funny!! Again congrats to everyone!! It was a great competition!!
What a great competition! An amazing venue, and friendly volunteers made it well worth getting up (and returning to Mundelein) at stupid-o'clock in the morning. My only real complaint was the threat to remove points if outside food was brought in. I know it's a fund-raiser for the program, and I don't have a problem as a parent spending my money at these events. We're a diverse community, and some of our kids can't afford what it cost to feed themselves breakfeast, lunch, and dinner at each of these competitions. I hate thinking that some kids might have had to sneak around and hide their pbj's - why put a kid through that?!
Deepest sympathies to the gals from Princeton (Innovations) whose vocals we couldn't hear over their keyboard amp. It's always amazed me that groups can't do a sound check before performing - it's a wonder there aren't more trainwrecks. It sounded like the keys were severely overdriving the amp, and they just couldn't turn it down enough from the keyboard master volume. I hope we see (hear!) you somewhere else, visually you looked like a competitive group.
Enjoyed all the finalist's shows, and can't imagine judging finals. Great vocals, costumes & choreography all around - some very competitive shows!
The female vocalist from Southmont, Megan: what an amazing voice, and you really sold that song - bravo & congrats! (I heard she's a sophmore too - watch out American Idol boy from MN!)
Congratulations to all of the PIQUA kids!!! You guys rock my world and have really improved since Marysville Mundelein I cannot wait to meet all of you and see your show at Nationals!! From what I have heard you guys are really great, and your show is awesome!! Congrats to all of the groups I am sure it was a great competition!!!!
FC, congrats on the caption award! I know you wanted a higher placement, but it sounds like 2-3-4 were razor thin. Stick with it, because you know how much you've been improving! High Voltage another great finish!
Beavercreek, you've had a solid year and this is another strong placement for you guys. Get ready to work hard this Thursday, and we'll continue to tweak and improve the show. God Bless, Damon Brown
These are suprising results. Hmm . . . Well congrats to Mundelein!! You guys must have been great. but I heard that Piqua,Franklin and Beavercreek was about a 10 point spread and also that it was a tough comp.! Congrats everyone
Mundelein...
Franklin Central -21
Piqua -1
and then the rest is correct beyond that... There is a large and Obvious point spread between Mundelein and FC... piqua and FC in my opinion are neck and neck. i 100 percent agree with the results after prelims... They added a judge for finals and i have left the contest so I guess we'll see what happens! i'm as excited and clueless as the rest of you... grr
