West Jones may be having their most successful season ever. To win (and sweep) 2 competitions in a row in the South is very tough to do. I'm excited to see how the rest of their season goes!

When I click the "buy now" link, I see a sign-in box. At the top, it says "Sign in with Google," but above that in grey letters (that are on a grey background, making them very hard to see) are two links that say "login" and "sign up," respectively. If you click the "sign up" link, it looks like you can register an account which I presume is how you can pay for the live stream.
I spoke about my predictions on the latest episode of my show choir podcast! I also spoke about the new division changes and what they could potentially mean. You can check out my thoughts HERE!

The event page has been updated. They will take 5 finalists.
It also appears Mississippi has perhaps added an additional division. Tiers for this contest are: Tier I (51+), Tier II (39-50), Tier III (25-38), and Tier IV (24 or less).
Split on this. I recognize the need for competitive divisions but also feel like this may lead to a California-esque scenario with small/barren top divisions at a lot of competitions. Jury is out until more lineups drop, I guess.
