what exactly are the caption awards for this comp? and I wouldnt put a win past northern lights either, they are working very hard to improve for this comp and put a good show on for everyone. london was a great spirit raiser.
I have seen all the groups, so I will take a stab at it...
Grand Champion- Cedar Rapids Prairie
1st Runner Up- Holmen
2nd Runner Up- North St. Paul
3rd Runner Up- Parkview
Best Vocals- Prairie
Best Choreography- Prairie
This is how I could see things going... but I know Holmen's unique style could shake things up, so I won't be surprised if Holmen pulled out the win. It all depends on the judges style preferences.
Prairie has a pretty solid show. When they haven't made finals it has been at two of the toughest competitions in Iowa this year (Linn-Mar, Great River) so don't let their previous placings fool you.
And actually, Adam is mistaken about Prairie. C.R. Prairie "Ambassadors" placed 4th runner-up at Benton, behind Lincoln Southwest, C.R. Jefferson, C.R. Kennedy, and C.R. Xavier, and ahead of Dubuque Wahlert. Hope that helps you.
Well, assuming 6 groups in finals, looks like all the HS groups make it, eh?
Unless Onalaska or Parkview MS beats one!

At Great River, all three preliminary judges had Prairie in finals (6th,6th,4th)... but their points added up was not enough to get them there. Their show is pretty solid.
