Yes, there will be a livestream. We are awaiting assignment of an address but will put it up on our facebook page and web page, hopefully in the very near future!
Don't get caught up in placements... competition is a fun way to motivate yourself, but every school has a different situation and even in a division of the best choirs in the nation, only one of them is going to walk away with first place! What's way more important is the experience you'll take away from performing onstage and the memories you create with awesome friends. And heck, if you do place higher than people's predictions then you get the bonus of exceeding expectations! Really though, don't read too much into it. Even in the most professional of sports, some teams are predicted to do better than others. That's just the nature of the beast.
Actually, when I was looking to formulate a prediction (which I completely gave up on because this is going to be too close to predict) I considered your school as a wildcard that could potentially knock out another finalist. Most of the groups on this list have competed against one another for years, but I haven't seen your school perform, so I don't know what to expect. I am looking forward to it, though! I will see if I can get the spectators who will be with me in at the comp to create a cheering section for you1
Glad you are coming to visit us in Minnesota. Have fun!
