I personally saw 10 points (out of 200) difference between Hwood and ESSC yesterday, six of which came from vocals. Hwood is vocally in a class of their own in this region, and that’s why their only loss last year was to Clinton and why they will continue that type of success this year.
Not sure how? There are 2 groups in this lineup that have beaten them once this year, and JA who also swept another competition. I am not saying it can’t happen! It will be a new day with a new set of judges. Anyone can win and thats the beauty of show choir. I just think it’s a little far stretched to say “Not sure how ESSC doesn’t win GC”. Either way it will be interesting to see how the results turn out. Not trying to be rude...just wanted to throw some stats out there to show how interesting this comp could get.
It did, however, give me an idea of the type of judging to expect. HW Legacy was at best, second, probably third. The new Florence group were better. Then a toss-up between HW and Tift.
