Great to see so many fans coming in from out of town--even tho their associated choirs aren't performing ... I think you'll be richly rewarded with a terrific day of entertainment. We are making the 30 mile trip south from Buffalo Grove again this year and we couldn't be more excited to see all these great groups.
Everyone wants the "glory days" of 10+ pages of forums, but no one wants to read through them all. I forgot how many times questions and comments were repeated through all of this.
I guess I'll throw my predictions into the ring, even though they'll probably be wrong....
GC: Carmel
1RU: Waubonsie Valley (BV)
2RU: John Burroughs (BC)
3RU: Hastings (BB)
4RU: Buffalo Grove
5RU: Wheaton North
6RU: Naperville North
Literally could see these going a million different ways, but I'm sure everyone already knew that.
Ignoring captions, there are 7! different ways that the top 7 can finish. (If the others choirs are presumed out of the running.) This is 7x6x5x4x3x2x1 = 5040.
Multiply this by 7x7x7 = 343 ways for distributing the captions among these 7 gives us 1,728,720 ways.

True, except maybe high heeled harmony and GIH switched? I know that a couple weeks ago HHH beat carroll's girls group , who had earlier beaten GIH. But you never know because GIH never fails to amaze!
I could see that too! Women's division is gonna be a race for those top spots as well!
GC: Burroughs "Sound Sensations"
1RU: WV "Girls in Heels"
2RU: Naperville North "High Heeled Harmony"
3RU: Hersey "Ladies First"

I normally don't do these but thought I'd add my opinion in the mix:
GC: WV
1ru: Carmel
2ru: John Burroughs
3ru: Hastings
4ru: Buffalo Grove
5ru: Wheaton North
6ru: Naperville North
I've seen WV, Carmel, WN, and NN live. I think the difference between GC and 1ru will be as close as it's ever been, and could easily be switched. And I won't even attempt to predict captions!!
Mostly agree accept I would put Naperville/Wheaton North 3r/4r with hastings 5r
GC: Carmel BV
1ru: Waubonsie BC/BB
2nd RU: John Burroughs
3rd RU: Buffalo Grove
4th RU: Hastings BB
5th RU: Wheaton North
6th RU: Naperville North
This competition will be extremely close in general. I have seen carmel and their vocals are some of the best I have ever heard. BB will be close between WV and Hastings, they both have great combos.
