Naperville received 1st from every judge in finals.
I'm thrilled so many people were able to tune in with our live stream. We had people all over the country watching and even places like the United Kingdom and Japan got a piece of the action!
Wow, I didn't see those placements coming. I wasn't there for finals and I was unable to watch the live stream so I guess my limited knowledge of only the daytime performances is what's making me shocked. Was there an obvious difference in daytime and finals performances for some of these groups?
so proud of Naperville North's Entourage! as an alumni, its cool to see how far the group has come since being a member and naming the group! keep up the good work!

WOW! What a contest! I got to watch every single group that performed today and I am in awe of the talent on that stage. Every group brought something to the table and I'm so glad I got to see everyone. But I have to say... NAPERVILLE NORTH. HOLY MOLY.

Don't know if they will give band away again but that's the only obvious caption to me
Such a great competition!! Soooo much fun watching all of these insanely talented groups. I don't think I have ever seen such a competitive event in JANUARY!!! All of these groups have big years ahead of them!!
Shout out to Julia from Wichita because her winning solo was FANTASTIC.
Also shout out to Davenport Central for having a dramatic visual effect with costumes via fog machine because you can just not have enough of that and I love it an irrational amount.
Shoutout to the muscatine people cause this live feed is great! Left Linn mar because I didn't feel good and now I am watching this competition in bed hahaha
