Predictions
GC: Waltham "Music Unlimited" (BC)
1RU: Carmel "Ambassadors" (BB)(BV)
2RU: Praire "The Ambassadors
3RU: Northeast Jones Jr/SR "Gold Horizons"
4RU: Fort Atkinson "South High Street Singers"
5RU: Keokuk "Purple Harmony"/Lafayette Jefferson "First Edition"
Women's Division:
GC: Carmel "Accent" (Sweep)
1RU: Lafayette Jefferson "Expressions"
2RU: Jasper "Diamonds"
These predictions may look weird to some
I personally think people shouldn't sleep on Waltham I feel like they could do really good here but, I can see Carmel taking the GC spot
I believe that 5th runner up is probably going to real close between Keokuk and Lafayette
The Best of Luck to All Competing groups
Does anyone know if they'll let a single-gender group into finals here? Because after the weekend Carmel Accents just had, they seem like they could compete with anybody!
I agree Carmel "Accents" can certainly hang with the best mixed groups as this weekend proved, but HOA generally only has mixed finalists while the single-gender/prep afternoon winner has a "showcase" exhibition performance during finals. That's the format as it's currently listed on the HOA website.
