3RU: Totino-Grace "Company of Singers"

Oh Lord help the judges who have to decide the winner. GC could be a toss up between Linn-Mar, Totino, Glenwood, and Broken Arrow. Every group here is extremely good and I'll hopefully be watching the livestream (if there is one).
Since my prediction is gonna be the same as your's, I'm gonna try and guess what captions will go to which choirs:
Best Band - ICW or Linn-Mar
Best Choreography - Glenwood
Best Vocals - Linn-Marr
Good luck to everyone here. This looks to be a blood bath.

This one looks like a lot of fun! I didn’t go to any competitions last year, but since I live right down the street from the Adler I feel obligated to show up ;)
It was honestly so tough to make this prediction as Linn-Mar, Glenwood, Totino-Grace, Broken Arrow, and Craig are all groups with a GC; Linn-Mar, Glenwood, and Totino-Grace alone all have 2+ GC's and all winning BC with their GC's. I believe to have the correct placements but I honestly don't know how captions will turn out. Broken Arrow is the only group here I've actually seen live so I'm extremely excited to attend this comp!
A lot of different show choir styles coming to this comp - this is very exciting.
I've caught some of the competitors' shows this year and if you're attending you're in for a full course meal with seconds! You'll be served platters of hip-hop dance and music adapted for show choir, CA-style storytelling show choir with a midwest flare, and also some incredibly polished conceptual shows (ie: dancing, self-actualization).
Side note: shout out to the middle school division! 10 groups is quite impressive for this division. Good luck!
Schedule is posted as it appears on their website. 2 follow-up questions: CR Kennedy "Chanteurs" is now a women's group, so I would imagine they're competing in the single-gender division instead of mixed prep. Is that accurate? Secondly, is there just one overall single-gender division or separate divisions for women's and men's? The schedule has the women's choirs grouped together and then the men's choirs grouped together. It's labeled as the same division, so I'm assuming one single-gender division. Just curious though. Let me know if anyone can help me out on those 2 points. Thanks.
