JUDGING PANEL UPDATE
Unfortunately, Dan Lubuono-Wahl will be unable to join us. However, we are excited to welcome John Neubauer, who will be judging JH & HS Prelims/Finals, and Heather Pistorius, who will be judging our Solo Competition!

No disrespect at all to the groups who competed here last year, but I'm glad Clinton will be here this year because last year would have been a pretty easy sweep for them had they attended. I think this year it will be a lot closer than usual between them and Wheaton South (and possibly Wheaton North, depending on how strong they are). The last time Clinton and Wheaton South competed, Wheaton won the show design caption, and I think Wheaton is much stronger now. Clinton will still be amazing even under new direction, but this definitely won't be an easy GC for them. We shall see!

To clarify for those who don't know: Clinton was scheduled to compete here last year but withdrew the week of because their basketball team made it to the state championship finals.

It’s actually conceivable that Clinton *could* lose two contests this year, which hasn’t happened since 2008. A lot of the kids competing this year weren’t even alive when that happened, which is a testament to how dominant Clinton was in Dave Fehr’s last years as the director. I think Wheaton South probably beats them here, and Homewood or Brandon may at least win prelims at NE Jones. Finals? Maybe, but that’ll be harder to pull off than prelims.

I do think Clinton will still win here, but it's very possible that Wheaton South could come within 5-10 points, and maybe even steal a caption. I think Clinton will also beat Brandon and Homewood, but again I could see both of them coming extremely close and wouldn't be too surprised to see either of them steal a caption as well.

Adding some cool facts here. The last time Clinton lost the Overall Effect caption was to Wheaton South in 2020, and the last time Clinton lost a choreography caption was in 2011 at Homewood to *guess who* Wheaton South. (WWS also tied them for Overall Effect that year). Generally when trying to best a group like Clinton, one would think you need to beat them in Choreography, but here It looks like WWS or any of the other groups need not only close the gap in Visuals, but they also need to out-sing Clinton, which hasn't happened since 2013.

I do not think this will be a walk in the park for Clinton, however I do think they will pull off a definitive sweep here. With that being said, If there is a group that can beat them, It is WWS. We will get a great measure of WWS at the MTZ midwest Invitational happening today and tomorrow.

I would honestly be shook if Clinton lost at all this year. Someone mentioned the whole idea of inertia, and I think that probably applies for this season, especially with the Fehrs involvement. For example, Waubonsie Valley changed directors in 2016, but still had assistance from their former director, Mark Meyers. They did phenominal that season, (probably my favorite show from that group). With that said, virtually anything is possible!

I could see a change in Director affect Clinton they are a strong group but changing
Of Director is always tough. But who knows those kids are strong and I think they got this

It's Clinton though. I don't see them getting any worse as long as the Fehrs (or someone who is adjacent to them) are involved in their group.

Clinton Attache competed with Marysville Swingers Unlimited in 2015 at FAME Orlando, 2010 at the Fairfield Crystal Classic, and in 2007 at the Fairfield Crystal Classic.

Marysville got Best Vocals against Clinton in 2007. Their ballad that year, "Hushabye Mountain", is really something special.

Just to add on to what Mr. Allen said, for those who aren't aware, we have a fantastic tool on the website that lets you see exactly who has competed against who (provided the competition information is in our database)! Just go to any choir page on the site, click the "compare" button, and select another group you would like to learn their history with. It not only shows the wins and losses record, but each of the specific events they both attended as well!

Considering Wheaton North beat Troy last night (and Troy has already beaten WWS this season), I stand by my prediction that Wheaton North will beat WWS here.. Wheaton North may even give Clinton a run for their money.

Also, I found a video of WWS:

We'll get to see Clinton compete for the first time this coming weekend, and hopefully a video will be posted. Does anyone happen to have a video of Wheaton North?

WWS’s issue seems to be vocals. Don’t get me wrong, they sing really well, but the difference between them and Clinton is that Clinton’s guys historically have a darker, richer sound. Tough to judge much else off a video.

Seems like the same guy is front and center in their show almost the entire way through. That’s about the only complaint I have visually. It’s clean choreography, but gets a little repetitive for my taste in the second number. We could see a caption split with vocals going to Clinton and visuals going to WWS. Wouldn’t be the first time that’s happened. I may be looking at the wrong scoresheet, but I didn’t see a section for show design or overall effect. That’s about the only other thing that could potentially get them to first place here.

From what I’ve been told, there will be a livestream for Northeast Jones. Cannot independently confirm, but if it’s true, we will be able to see Clinton this weekend.

I’m going to be a bit risky for my predictions (and totally not because I was late to the party getting my predictions in for this event)….

GC - WWS (Sweep)
1RU - Clinton
2RU - Wheaton North
3RU - Decatur
4RU - Peoria
5RU - Pekin/WWS Girls

Very bold! I do think WWS has a strong chance of winning. I'm sure they'll be back with a vengeance for the rest of the season after losing their streak to Troy.

Super early prediction:

GC- Clinton "Attaché" (sweep)
1st ru- Wheaton North "Flight"
2nd ru- Wheaton Warrenville South "The Classics"
3rd ru- Peoria "Soundwave"
4th ru- Wheaton Warrenville South "Esprit"
5th ru- Decatur "Elite Energy"

This will probably change, but this is what I could see happening as of right now. WWS and Wheaton North were neck and neck last year with WWS coming out on top. I think Wheaton North will beat them this year.
