GC- Los Alamitos "Sound FX" (BC)
1RU- Franklin Central "F.C. Singers" (BV)
2RU- John Burroughs "Powerhouse"
3RU- Center Grove "Sound System"
4RU- Mt. Zion "Swingsations"
5RU- Decatur "Elite Energy" or Petal "Soundsations"
There are so so so many good groups here. I have Los Al winning, mainly because I feel they are the most well rounded group. I know they will have Stellar Vocals, as well as Perfect choreography. However, after seeing F.C. live this weekend at Fairfield, I can't see anyone out singing them, which is why I have them in second. I know Brendan Jennings was a Judge though, and he has to be getting his kids to work. I can easily see Burroughs topping FC, I think it Will be most interesting to see where FC and Powerhouse place. I have CG over Mt. Zion because of their recent win over Glenwood, and Mt. Zion's placing at Wheaton, against some hard competition similar to this one. I threw Petal in there because I've always loved their shows, and they're on a bit of a hot streak. All in all, I can't wait to see what happens, It's all up to the Judges!

Is anyone else having issues with ordering the livestream? If it worked for you, can you pls post instructions? I clicked on the black box and it didn't do anything. Thx!
We had the same issues at first. You need to be out of showchoir.com and go directly to https://showchoir.com/live. Inside the black box will be the gray box to place your order. Hope this helps!
This is intense. Best wishes to everyone who attends; this is going to be an insane competition no matter how it goes down. You betcha I'd be buying a live stream pass if I wasn't already going to be at Nashville. Also after seeing Franklin Central at Fairfield, I might go as to say they are untouchable at this competition. (Keep in mind the last time I saw Los Alamitos live was SC Nationals 2016, and the last time I saw Center Grove live was Huntington North 2015.) To continue, I would love to see Decatur make finals--love their shows and sound! Predictions: Championship:

dont have Los Al but theyre on a different level this year from what i saw over the weekend. I say they are better from last years set when they won Chicago FAME
no, they're very strict about recording their set. They had tons of people monitoring to make sure noone was recording althought they sold DVDs afterwards. lol
here's an updated link of decatur's show

we've changed some things since danville so this is a more "accurate" showing of what people will see this weekend
I personally think 2016 was Los Al’s best show ever and one of the best in history(it was just so brilliantly designed and technically produced), and I absolutely loved competing against them last year at FAME. Can’t wait to see them this year (though the livestream) and see if they beat their 2015-2017 shows.
