I think that Jefferson should be higher up there. From what I've heard and seen they are very good this year and in my personal opinion have a show that is equal, if not better than those of Xavier and Kennedy.
I also have some doubts about Kennedy surpassing Xavier. At Supernova Xavier was close behind Kennedy and at Benton Xavier passed them, I think that Xavier will remain in front of Kennedy. I'm not saying that Kennedy won't improve, but in the past two years this has been the time of the year when Xhilaration really starts to get better, don't count them out.
Regarding prediction of Linn-Mar and Washington being in front of Xavier, I don't believe that there is any way to compare them yet since neither Linn-Mar nor Washington have seen Xavier at a competition.
I believe that regarding the CR show choirs this will be a crazy season. (Benton) There is no possible way for me to make a solid prediction that can stand the test of reality. Good luck to all groups that will be competing.

I agree. Interesting show selection, but the kids do the best with it that they can. It will come down to judges' opinions.

I don't agree. I have no doubts about Happiness having the ability to pass Xhilaration. After seeing their show in finals at Benton, many Xhil members - myself included - were very, very worried about how the judges would rank us. Basically what I'm trying to say is, Kennedy has the ability to get ahead of Xavier, and Xavier has the ability to stay ahead of Kennedy. It will come down to who wants it the most, or the judges' personal opinions.
My only prediction will be that at least one group will place in a spot that they definitely weren't expecting to place in. Just to make it exciting ;)
Yeah, that was the buzz, but since then I don't think anyone wants to make a prediction, but I want to take a shot at it...

I think Kennedy will come back and beat Xavier, but this is with HIGH hopes that Xavier can sneak in with members missing during the day round
I jut have a feeling Linn Mar will come back to beat Washington
And I just think Troy will take it.

But I think even to make finals will be HUGE
It will be interesting for sure. All of these groups have moved around a lot this year, and its hard to predict which groups will win here because of that. However, I might as well make predictions.

Folks, this is just based off of what i've seen this year, it really could go any way, so good luck to all of the groups.
i dont make predidctions that my group is in but, this comp will be a awesome one! there are amazing groups here and everybody has so much talent it will be a good day!!
I didn't see Xavier's show but I heard they were pretty darn good. It will definatley make things interesting this weekend. Also, theres alot of talk about this competition being between Linn Marr and Troy. I heard that Linn Marr got beat by Washington? If so, then theres no telling who's going to win this weekend.
Should be fun!

I'm considering going to this, but I'm not sure, I kind of need a break, plus I have no ride at the moment--but could probably find one if I wanted to.
You could come with me Mr. Miller (I'm quite surprised you haven't asked me already.)... but we'd have to work out and talk about some situations happening on Sunday first.

Good news for all... this competition will have DVD sales. Everyone was afraid since "Emerald Motion" bailed last minute on Davenport North's "Big Dance" competition last year, leaving 2006's amazing finals un-recorded for us all. I think they relocated out of state or something. (you can still order the 2003-2005 DVDs on their website)
I heard that the same company that did Cedar Rapids Jefferson will be recording. WOO GOO!
