I truly can’t see anyone but Burbank, not only winning, but sweeping this competition. They’re always great, and they’ve dominated every out of state competition for the last 8-9 years, and I doubt they’ll give that up now. Also, their set this year is phenomenal, and I’m sure it’ll blow everyone away!
My Prediciton
GC: Burbank In Sync (Sweep)
1RU: Marysville
2RU: Loveland ( BB )
3RU: Whiteland
4RU: Olentagy
Predictions:
GC: Marysville "Swingers Unlimited" (BV) (BC)
1RU: Burbank "In Sync"
2RU: Loveland "By Request" (BB)
3RU: Whiteland "Rhythm Masters"
4RU: Grove City "Touch of Class"
I KNOW, seems a little risky, but I just have a good feeling about Marysville. I don't feel like you can lose faith in them after the year they've been having. Also, you never know if the California choirs will be a top 5 or 25 type choir until they step out of Cali, and I just feel like Marysville is more than polished at this point in the season and is set up for a successful weekend. Also, I wouldn't be surprised to see Whiteland creeping up the ranks, they've been finishing strong!
Predictions:
GC: Marysville (BV)/Burbank (BC)
1RU: Burbank (BC)/Marysville (BV)
2RU: Loveland
3RU: Grove City
4RU: Whiteland/Ross/Homestead
I honestly feel like either Burbank or Marysville can take it all, but if I truly have to choose one to win, my bet is on Marysville. Also, everything from 3RU down is gonna be a bloodbath. Grove City has truly stepped it up this year, and Whiteland, Homestead, and Ross all bring amazing shows with different unique strengths. This comp is gonna be wild!

Predictions:
gc: Manchester/Burbank (bc/bv)
1ru: Burbank/Manchester (bv/bc)
2ru: Marysville
3ru: Loveland
4ru: Grove City (bb)
these are just my predictions. here is some of the reasons why i predicted the way i did: i just saw manchester live at hoa and i was blown away. their show was extremely incredible and their choreography was insane. their record doesnt represent them well at all. burbank is ridiculously amazing so i wouldnt be surprised if they came out on top. they always have great shows and amazing choreo and vocals. i also saw marysville live and they are a force to be reckoned with. impressive balad and energy. loveland is very strong in their choreo. i've never seen them live but i have seen videos and live streams so i am excited to see them battle but from what i've seen and heard their record doesnt represent them well either. i am also extremely eager to see grove city. this competition is going to be a bloodbath.
These are just my thoughts but honestly good luck to everyone competing here this weekend! It’s goimg to be tough but I’m excited to see how it all turns out
GC: Burbank (BV)
1 RU: Marysville (BC)
2 RU: Loveland (BB)
3 RU: Grove City
4 RU: Homestead / Whiteland / Ross / Manchester
I'm just now realizing how much of a bloodbath it's gonna be for the last 2 finals spots. I was really impressed with Homestead when I saw them live this last weekend, and their current record really doesn't represent how great their show is. They're very solid vocally, and they have some great technique on their partner choreo! I've never actually seen Whiteland, but they had a very impressive win at Loveland last year so I can't count them out. I think that they'll stand a very good chance at making finals, especially if they do well at Franklin Central this weekend. I watched Ross on the Hamilton livestream and I was really impressed with them! They're continuing to improve the program and it looks like they have a ton of new members this year. They'll definitely be bringing their A-game to Fairfield so they can't be counted out either. Finally, I wanted to include Manchester in the realm of possibility too because I've heard that they have an incredibly entertaining show this year and that they were within about 20 points of Homewood at Clover Hill this weekend! Can't wait to see how this comp turns out, it's gonna be wild.
Don't forget - Crystal Classic VIP tickets are on sale! This sale ends February 1st! The VIP ticket costs the same as the ticket at the door, but gets you discounts for different items throughout the day! Visit www.fairfieldcrystalclassic.com for more information!
So excited that my show choir “Rivals In Rhythm” from WV gets to compete at this competition this year. We usually never compete out of state so I’m excited to get to experience this! And kick some butt too XD
Not exactly news to the folks here but Bishop Dwenger's Choir and Music Boosters are pleased to share that Summit Sound will be returning to the spectacular Fairfield Crystal Classic to defend their championship.
Last year Quinton Davis also won best male soloist and Summit Sound received Best Vocals, Best Choreo and Best Show Design.
Both Elegance and Summit Sound are looking forward to this year's Crystal Classic!
