Actually I heard Euclid and beavercreek deserved to move up 2 placements because they had the most passion in their shows and convinced the audiance what they were singing it is fishy but reguardless Twins and Medina must had been amazing
Euclid had the BEST show during the night time. They wanted it, they had it set to win it. They had more energy, cleaner than other groups, they honestly looked like they enjoyed being on stage...
also, euclid rocked finals while everyone else stayed reletively the same or got worse. so, regardless of whether they were 3rd or 4th, why and how does one drop in placement, below groups they'd beaten with a slightly rough prelim performance, as a result of more effort and a 10X-cleaner and 1000X-more energetic night performance? that's really the "fishy" part to me. Euclid had the most heart, the most love from their fans, the most desire, the most energy, flare, soul and emotion. They were also the most entertaining. I could have watched them all day. Every other group either gave me a headache or bored me. I don't get it. AND i saw the vocal judge go up to the Euclid director and absolutely RAVE to her about how much he LOVED Euclid's show. I don't think that they were rightly placed. some thing most definitely was shifty about this comp. i'd honestly encourage some investigation.

Hey, im confused....i could have sworn that euclid was ranked 3rd before finals...how did euclid win 1RU in class A if they were tied with Beavercreek, who is also in class A? Is there anyway you could give us a breakdown of points for prelims?
medina was also in class A and they were class A champs
i got a hold of the results from prelims. this is how the finalists actually placed before finals:
1. Medina
2. Twinsburg
3. Solon
4. Tie Euclid and Beavercreek (broken by judges ranking)
6. Poca
so the results werent off really.

Who were the judges, and what makes everyone think the results were so off? I didn't go
I was just wondering what people thought. Also what is the rest of Medina's show?
Vocals: Ben Ayling (Kent State Professor) Michael Crandall (Teays Previous Director) Barbara Sterbank (Brush's Director from 90-03)
Choreography: Jean Paul Gronek (Fred Astaire Ohio Winner/Dancing With the Stars Trainer) Madelyn DiCillo (Mentor & Richmond Hts. choreographer/Brush's Previous Choreographer/Well Established in the Showstoppers Circuit) Ida Porris (Dance Teacher at Laurel School/Brush's Previous Choreographer/Well Established in the Showstoppers Circuit)
Outstanding Performer: Desmond Beasley (GH Alumni who won various awards)
As a long time spectator of show choir, I also think the results were skewed. However, I happen to think it was Beavercreek that got somewhat shafted. Why is my opinion important though?
Well, it simply isn’t. But it does show that many people look for different things in a show choir. Some look for outstanding vocals, some look for screaming. Some look for crisp choreography, some look for choreo that is intricate.
While I don’t necessarily agree with the results, as an unassociated audience member, I have realized over the years that judging truly is a subjective thing that may not be understood, but I’m sure is explained in director’s packets. As long as it is backed up, qualified judges can’t usually be argued with.
Regardless, I do believe the right group won, and so maybe the judges saw something in the other groups that spectators did not. Congratulations to Medina- coming back incredibly strong after a brief recess; you all have certainly arrived again.

The results were off. Very off. I was there prelims and finals. Saw all of the groups that made prelims and finals in both performances. I think everyone there agrees with me on this one. Something really was fishy about those results. This was a great finals lineup. That's all I have to say about that.
Medina - Overall good. Good vocals, and clean choreography. Amazing violinist.
Twinsburg - Prelims performance had some major issues but you fixed it for finals. Your vocals were very mature (you were the loudest group tonight), choreography was awesome more energy would have made it even better.
Solon - Overall good as well. Very polished show. Good energy, nothing extraordinary however.
Beavercreek - Overall good. I mean there's nothing more to say these shows were all very solid.
Poca - Good vocals. Dancing was weak. Ballad was good, was it the same arrangement as Marysville 2005?
Euclid - Good in prelims. Outstanding in finals. The energy was unbelievable, you guys wanted it so bad I could tell. You made me want it for you. You hands down danced better then any group tonight and you were certainly the most entertaining. I don't understand how you dropped from 3rd to 6th? Performance order must have screwed you over. I'm sorry.
Vocals - Twinsburg
Choreography - Euclid
Band - Medina (Twinsburg was a little too much synthesizer for me)
I agree completely! This competition had so much potential. All the groups in finals were AMAZING, but the results were a bit skewed, which makes me believe something went down that was a bit fishy...
BUT CONGRATS MEDINA ON YOUR WIN!!!!!!!!!
But here is what i thought of the finals as a whole:
EUCLID: AMAZING...CRAZY ENERGY...MOST ENTERTAINING SHOW OF THE NIGHT
MEDINA: I LOVE YOUR BALLAD.... AMAZING VOCALS...YOU GUYS DESERVED TO WIN
TWINSBURG: NOT A BIG FAN OF SOME OF YOUR SONGS.. BUT SOLID AS USUAL
POCA: I LIKED YOU GUYS LAST YEAR A LOT BETTER....BUT I ENJOYED YOUR RENDITION OF TEMPERATURE
SOLON: OMG A BIG STEP UP FROM LAST YEAR....YOU GUYS WERE AWESOME!
BEAVERCREEK: YOU GUYS HAVE AWESOME SOLOISTS...AND YOU GUYS ARE EXTREMELY ENTERTAINING!!!
Wow im suprised Medina.Solon and Twinsburg must have been great! I surely thought Beavercreek had it in the bag but it was just a prediction I bet u were still great beavercreek! Congrats all!!
