This was a great competition to watch! Every choir I watched yesterday put on great shows.

Congratulations to Washington for having such a complete package and winning the day against tough competition! Also, I couldn't be a prouder alumni of CR Jefferson. I have never heard WSD sing that well! Lastly, a shout out to both Wash and Jeff for beating a very strong competitor in Mt. Zion in an "underdog" type fashion.

I wish the best of seasons to all groups that performed!

Thank you so much for posting those Jay!! It definitely confirmed for me how massively close I thought it was going to be. Sitting and waiting for awards, I usually have a good idea of how they're going to go, but last night I found myself having little clue and anxious as to what they would be and the group I was with for the day had the same feeling. Anyway, it was an absolutely amazing day yesterday, it was a good fix for the void I've had since graduating. Congrats to Washington and best of luck to all the groups who competed on the rest of your seasons!

Waiting on awards in the gym...and clearly the big dude from Prairie in the green jacket is winning the dance off. Style and grace personified.

After all the groups, me and Savaun have it:

GC: Washington
1RU: Jefferson (BV)
2RU: Mt. Zion (BC)
3RU: City High (BB)
4RU: Fort Atkinson
5RU: Craig

Honestly Jefferson and Washington are like tied for us, they were both so amazing, we put Washington first though cause we feel like they might have the better overall package. Prairie is up next and then awards after that.

Let me dweeb out a bit...

I'm so excited for this competition, but for the first time in a few years, I won't be attending. Ankeny Centennial calls my name!

The last time Mt. Zion was in the state of Iowa was my senior year of high school in the dark ages- 2006 at Urbandale. Thanks for finally coming back! I hope you all have an awesome show and show Iowa kids the magic that is MTZ... just like you did with my generation (Right, Jay, Adam Miller, & Adam Hairston!?)

Good luck to all groups tomorrow!

Cedar Rapids Jefferson and Iowa City High-

You both have worked hard this season... LEAVE IT ALL ON THE STAGE!

This should be a great competition! To give the two Wisconsin groups a bit of context, Fort Atkinson finished 3rd among Wisconsin show choirs with an average of 89.5 points while Craig finished 5th with an average of 67.5 points.

Sadly I do not have rankings for non Wisconsin groups but I'm excited to see how everything shakes out on Saturday.

Good luck to all!

Only 3 days away now! I've been counting down the days to this since the holidays got over because I've been bored lately so please come faster.

Very excited to be hosting another year at Premiere for such a great lineup of groups! I've been craving to see some new and exciting shows and although I won't be in the Concert Hall all day to view like Gib I will definitely sneak in when I've got the chance! I'd like to wish all the competing groups the best of luck and hope everyone enjoys their day! Can't wait to get this season started!!

Definitely excited to come watch this competition, especially now that I don't have to help all day and can relax and enjoy a nice day of show choir. I almost want to agree with Jay that we should just skip the holidays since I've been missing it a lot lately. Here are my early blind predictions....

GC: Mt. Zion (BC)
1RU: Jefferson (BV)
2RU: Washington (BB)
3RU: IC High
4RU: Craig
5RU: Fort Atkinson

I could see the top three switching around to be in any order as well as the bottom three. I could also see BB going to City High. I'll be there to watch so I'll probably give another prediction before awards on the day of after seeing all the groups.
