i'm going to go out on a limb and say that my FINAL predictions will be as follows, due to reviews that i have seen of groups and how they have done at other competitions:
GC: Hastings RIverside Company
1st RU: Fort Atkinson South High St Singers
2nd RU: Parkview Pizazz
3rd RU: Altoona Locomotion
4th RU: Eau Claire Memorial
5th RU: Monona Grove OR Manteno Magic OR Mayville
Best Choreo: FOrt Atkinson
Best Vocals Hastings
Best Combo: Hastings or Fort
Prep GC:
Holmen Midwest Express (if that is the ladies group)
OR
Hastings Divaz
Yes, you will. It is the same company that does Monona Grove and Fort Atkinson. Go to www.visionsforthefuture.net and click on online order forms- the rest will be self-explanatory.
Idk... I liked Altoonas show more than Parkviews, but I'm sure Parkview has improved since MG. Also Mayville has been doing better, but I'm still really hoping MG makes finals. I think we have a fair chance at taking GC too, but it's all going to be crazy close. In reality I should probably just not predict placements and say these are my predictions for who will make it into finals, because i'm sure I'll end up being way off. But yeah, this is what I think.
Also, for random sake, Casino's are really fun while the oxygen high still lasts. But as soon as you realize your a rat in a cage with no windows, high smoke levels, and no clocks... it's hell. Oh well, I won 5 bucks two nights ago. " border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />
I sat and pondered this for a while today and after some hard thinking and some help from a few of my show choir buddie(lauren) i came up with my list.
Finals in alphabetical Order:
Eau Claire Memorial
Ft Atkinson
Hastings
Mayville
Monona Grove
Parkview
i know you didn't mean anything personal, the phrase "good enough" just rubbed me wrong. No matter what choir we may be in, we all work hard to make our shows good.
and as for taking it for constructive crit. - there really wasn't anything in that statement to take constructively, but I did say that we were just hoping to do our best.
I'm sorry Hastings I didn't mean to offend you in the least! I hope you don't hate me for saying that I was just voicing my opinion...I just LOVED your show last year. That's awesome that you guys are working hard! Best of luck
A lot of people are taking some comments and turning them into personal attacks... let everyone speak their mind in what they think of the shows. Take the comment and turn into constructive critism (that is what I do anyway). Everyone has their own opinion about everyone's show and that comes with being in show choir. I don't like a few shows this year but some people like the ones I dislike. I am just ready to compete at Brodhead and see how much the groups have improved from the last time I have seen them. Maybe then, my mind will change.
Dude...I think you all underestimate a lot of these schools! No offense to Hastings because I love them but I didn't think their show was good enough to get Grand Champs. I think Eau Claire will place higher then most are saying they have obviously come a long way in the past couple of years and with a few weeks until Brodhead they could really pick it up! Does April James choreograph Ft? I think they're the ones with the "Fly" theme and the mask thing kinda freaked me out but other then that it was a cool show. It's going to be a tough competition this year. Best of luck to everyone...wish I could be there!
let's keep in mind that these are just peoples thoughts, so try not to say that choirs don't have "good enough" shows.
As for Hastings ~ We are just hoping to do our best and have a good day(and hopefully night).
