Given the conversation surrounding Wheaton, could the HOA folks share their format for determining prelims placements and finalists, if judges are judging the entire sheet or sections? What does prelim judging look like vs. finals? Just some of that general stuff. I'm pretty sure Bobby has posted about this before on an HOA topic, but I couldn't find it. I think it's probably a point of interest for many folks, especially considering this is the event of the year.

Can't predict this but I would not be surprised if Petal Ladies stole a spot from one of the Show Choir Giants. They've had a rather impressive year in the South; Im curious as to how the will settle in with the big cats.
I visited the theater today in order to do some planning for the live stream. You guys have no idea how amazing this facility is... everyone who is fortunate enough to be attending is in for an incredible treat (and we will try to capture the magic as best as possible for the rest of you!).
The live stream will cover the performances in the Chapin theater, which includes the Mixed Tier I division, Womens Finals, and Mixed Finals. For more answers to questions, please check out the live stream page at http://www.showchoir.com/live. The FAQ is at the bottom.
Unfortunately, due to copyright restrictions, this is a live broadcast only. Offering rewinding or replay functionality requires a recording license which would cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Think of it as a live concert that you get to enjoy from the comfort of your own living room!
