They did it again Jeff... they threw in a surprise division. Somerset Amplified competed in their own division for some reason.. previously unknown to me This is a loose result, I will get the FULL results with certain Best Vocals/Choreography scores ASAP.
Best Vocal/Choreography awards were not handed out, but I went over the scoresheets and indicated the best vocal and choreography scores for each group, so we can caption them as if they were physical awards. Same thing goes with the runners up, we only gave out a physical grand champion award, but I went through the score sheets and indicated their respective positions.
I will try to get the morning showcase's full scores ASAP.
Single-Gender:
GC- Andover Back To Bassics - Best Vocals - Best Choreography - Silver
1RU- Andover Nothing But Treble - Silver
2RU - South Hadley Adrenaline - Bronze
Tier II:
GC- Everett Pop Vox - Best Choreography - Silver
1RU- Prattville Spotlight - Best Vocals - Silver
Tier I:
GC- Daniel Hand Vibe - Best Vocals - Best Choreography - Best Female Soloist (Nina Stathakis) - Gold
1RU- Andover From Start To Finish - Gold
2RU - Waltham Music Unlimited - Best Band - Best Male Soloist (Ali Mounkary) - Silver
3RU - South Windsor Choral Spectrum - Silver
Somerset "Electrify" was 1RU in the morning Tier I and Somerset "Amplified" was the Grand Champion of the morning Single Gender division according to Twitter!
Large Mixed
GC - Daniel Hand (BC and BV)
1RU - Andover from start to finish
BB - Waltham
Best Female Soloist - Nina Stathakis
Best Male Soloist - Boy from Andover (Dom help me with the name)
Sam Kramer also won a judges award for carping portrayal
Yes (Jeff) I do realize how empty this list is as only GC was announced for each division. I figured out 1RU Large Mixed by seeing the score sheet. Since Dom's group hosted I'm hoping he can get access to the rest of the scores. (I was no there for morning showcase so I do not know who won the other divisions, I heard panache won through the grapevine)
Hopefully this is a start! More to come in the next day or so!
Our first year with contemporary show choir world divisions! Hopefully our comp will be a little less complex next year, schedules willing. In the meantime, any predictions?
Just for clarification: An updated schedule has been posted. It's a little tricky here, but you can basically think of Shepherd Hill as two separate competitions: a morning competition and an evening competition - both of which have a Tier I and a Tier II. Apparently, for a host of reasons related to travel and scheduling issues, Shepherd Hill had to split it in two.
So there's a morning Tier I and an evening Tier I. It looks a little funky on here, but what can you do? These are all regular Tier I groups in the Northeast that are just dealing with difficult schedules and a unique competition layout. Same goes for Tier II. Otherwise there's a Single-Gender Division and there will obviously be multiple Grand Champions crowned. There are not finals. Awards for the morning showcase are scheduled for 1:15 PM and evening awards are set for 9:15 PM.
The CMSCF will very likely be divided into 3 divisions this year, Large Mixed, Small Mixed, and Single-Gender. So excited that our event is getting so large
Shepherd Hill Central Massachusetts Show Choir Festival (Day Two) 2016
This is a loose result, I will get the FULL results with certain Best Vocals/Choreography scores ASAP.
