My only thoughts on how things could go at Linn Mar are as follows...
I think that Ankeny, Totino Grace, and Urbandale will all make finals and probably be in the top three.
After that, it all gets shady. Any of the other groups could get into finals. I will not be surprised if a well known or well loved group besides the three listed above does not make finals.
Hmmmmm I'm really excited for this competition. I really love Urbandale, but I just want an upset this year so I am pulling for Totino-Grace or Ankeny. Totino and Urby have faced each other many times in the opening part of the season, i.e. Onalaska 2003 (Urbandale higher) Onalaska 2004 (Totino higher) Linn-Mar 2005 (Urbandale winning) Johnston 2006 (Totino winning). So if we go off past results it is confusing. They both, in the past 4 years, have beaten each other the same amount at the first or second competition of the season. They switch off every other year, so if they do that again, Urbandale should win. Of course Urbandale has never lost Linn-Mar, so Urbandale should be predicted to win again. Overall, Totino has beaten Urbandale more in the past 4 years (using later competitions- Big Dance 2004).
It all depends on who is more prepared this early in the season. That being said, Ankeny did get a caption award off Urbandale at Linn-Mar last year, showing an improvement in early season work. I have heard that their show could be late-season clean by Linn-Mar. Naturally, we can't completely go off this, but it's for fun and games. In other words I am just trying to make conversation and confuse the heck outta people as to who should win!

When asked about the schedule, Mr. Anderson told me it should be up soon. He said continue to check our website, it should be up and running soon. (www.choralnotes.org)
I will, however, post the schedule here as soon as it is "released"
What? That... is way to long. Grrr, that puts a damper on making plans.
