Since it isn't on the schedule I was wondering if someone knew what time Viterbo's Show Choir preforms. If someone could let me know that would be great!
The front part of the stage in that picture (with the podium on it) won't be there on Saturday; it'll be lowered to floor level and will contain extra seating. Don't worry, there's still plenty of room for risers and dancing!
boy is that place AMAZING to perform in That's where the finalists for NATS sang, when I was singing, you could hear you're self delayed like 2 seconds off the back wall, it was sweet.

An article in the La Crosse Tribune today
Viterbo competition provides early test for show choirs
By TERRY RINDFLEISCH | La Crosse Tribune
Viterbo University has one of the earliest high school show choir competitions of the season in the Midwest.
The Viterbo 101 competition, to be held Saturday in the Fine Arts Center Main Theatre, has grown in its second year to 15 show choirs from Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa.
Having Viterbo’s competition early in the season is exactly what Nancy Allen wanted.
Allen, director of Viterbo’s Platinum Edition Show Choir, said the Viterbo competition emphasizes preparing shows for the rest of the season. After a performance, show choirs will have a working clinic in the La Croix Black Box Theatre, where a judge can provide a critique.
“This competition is really rooted in education,†Allen said. “Show choirs can find out how their show is working and they can tweak their show early. They can do it in a warm atmosphere where everyone is supportive of each other.â€
Allen, who judges show choirs competitions throughout the Midwest, said choreographer Andrew Cao will give a videotape critique, and Greg Balfany, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse’s director of jazz bands, will critique and judge the show bands.
More than 700 singers, dancers and band members are expected to perform at the Viterbo show.
Riverside Company of Hastings, Minn., is returning as Viterbo 101’s defending grand champion. Some of the other show choirs are: Linn-Mar 10th Street Edition of Marion, Iowa; Midwest Express and Midwest Magic, Holmen, Wis.; Silver Connection of Monona Grove, Wis.; Choralation, Milton, Wis.; Parkview Pizazz, Orfordville, Wis.; Cardinal Singers, Mayville, Wis; and Old Abe Show Choir, Eau Claire, Wis.
This year, Platinum Edition and Tonal Impact, a Viterbo all-male vocal quintet, will perform at the show as well.
Last year, members of Platinum Edition and Viterbo’s music education club decided to sponsor Viterbo’s first show choir competition.
“I wanted my students going into music education to organize a competition or music festival because it’s something they might have to do when they become music teachers,†Allen said.
Allen said the show choir contest also is a good way to bring more high school students on campus.
“The Fine Arts Center is a beautiful facility, and it’s unusual to get a chance to sing and dance as show choir members in a theater setting like this,†Allen said.
I think they meant new or taken off from the previous list ( the one we got ) - But yeah, we do plan on having fun there! So! Let's party it up on saturday!
