Any chance that Some-one might be able to get the complete Point Placements like we were able to get in 2013??
I know that I wasn't able to place them in the correct order, but I also know that I was relatively close on almost all of my 25 picks!!!
Alex pretty much said it all but I'll say it again myself. I was completely blown away at all the talent that I saw yesterday. From the first group of the day that I watched to the last, everyone was fantastic in one way or another and everyone definitely deserved to be there. The venue was amazing as well as the emcee and food (that cheese truck was bomb). Everything ran pretty smoothly in my opinion and the FAME staff and the hosts from Ball State were so nice and helpful. Our flight to Neverland last night was our best one yet and like our director always says, "We are not defined by the trophy we receive but the quality of show we produce." Yesterday was a day that I will surely remember for a long time and it was a great way to cap off our season and, sadly, my show choir career.
Congratulations to Los Alamitos and everyone else in attendance!!
I wonder if Los Al's show was inspired at all by "The Prestige" haha.
Yes it completely is!
We were having a rehearsal one day, and then Mr. Moellenkamp asked us to go outside and take a water break. The break lasted longer then usual and he didn't let anyone in.
20 minutes pass, then he asks everyone to walk in silently.
The room is enclosed, the lights are off, and there are 17 candles in a circle lit.
On our projector screen, we see a freeze frame of some movie trailer, and Mr. Moellenkamp describes to us what he envision our set to be.
He then plays the trailer, and everyone loses their minds.
So yes, Los Al's show is very much inspired by "The Prestige".
Fantastic groups, fantastic venue, and our most fang-tastic performance all season, which is all you can really hope for This was one of the most exhausting days of my life, but well worth it in the end. Congratulations to everyone who attended, because just making it to Nationals proves that you're a top notch choir! So proud to have competed alongside my incredible friends, peers, and some damn talented strangers.
Did ALA or Brea make the top 10?
Yes they were both announced as being in the top 10, Nic's earlier post has the full list
Also, a huge shoutout to all of the active (and non-active) posters here on SCC who performed today. You all are amazing, as well as the rest of your fellow choir members. Special nods to the Alex's from Marysville and Prairie, Preston from Norwell, and all of the other members I can't name off of the top of my head. Awesome performers. Proud show choir fan.
Thank you so much Nic! It means a lot!!
Congrats to all competing choirs! A special congrats to Los Alamitos for taking home Grand Champs. I know this has been a long time coming for you guys. You've been after this title for a few years now, and now its finally yours so CONGRATS!!! And you were also my pick for the win from the start so I'm pretty happy! Congrats Los Al!
Can't wait to go back and watch the stream. I was busy all day Looks like time slots meant everything at this competition. Very interesting to look at the results above in performance order.
Congrats to everyone!!!! Especially Prairie!!!! Cedar Rapids!!!! (clap clap clap clap clap)
Performance order made a big difference. I had ATSC and ALA in the top six.
