To me, that last spot in finals is a complete toss-up between CR Washington, Noblesville, and Daniel Hand. Any of the 3 (and others) could take it. Also I'll add that, as you can see, I'm a Fairfield alum, so I genuinely can't predict them to lose.
Well SCN gives a bunch of caption awards for prelims, finals, and individual ones so that's unlikely. You may be right about the big three BV/BC/BB though which is what I assume you probably meant.
Just for fun, if that kind of comp happened, I think the finishing order between those six groups would be the same as what finished the day before. First, second, and third would come from Orlando and fourth, fifth, and sixth would come from Nashville. (In other words, as amazing as some of the groups are in Nashville, I wouldn’t see any of them cracking the top three or four from Orlando.)
It might be really interesting if we got past the top 4 groups from Orlando, and put the next couple groups against the top placers from nationals. Maybe groups like Mt Zion, Petal, Decatur, Jackson Academy, Jackson Prep, etc... Now THAT would be an amazing competition!
