i just wanna set things straight for everyone since there seems to be quite a bit of confusion... so pay close attention everyone involved in this debate...
firstly, cabell midland ppl know that nitro had nothing to do with the shouting... i was on stage, im 100% positive it happened and im 100% positive i know who did it cuz i heard it from the stage... it was no one affiliated with nitro and we appreciate all ur kind comments, but please realize that we are not pointing the finger at you... we all know who did it, and as i said before, i think karma is gunna take care of it next week and if not then the week after that....
secondly, i dont think anyone from midland said we got cheated.... we were very disappointed in the results, and personally, i know how that performance will fare better at states with real show choir judges, but the posts about us getting cheated were not made by cmhs members.... i think manchester deserved to win, and although i disagree with other placements, im not gunna complain about it, cuz itll gt me nowhere... im just gunna forget about this competition altogether....
All Im saying is Nitro won at Capital, just like we beat them at Poca... but fortunately, the judges at Poca were actually on the circuit and no what theyre talking about, and hopefully the placement at states will reflect their opinion of who's better.
As i'm sure this post will incur much heated debate, please realize that these opinions are personal and do not reflect the prevailing attitude and ideas of my group. I'm sure many will agree with me, but dont start hating on midland from it... u got a problem with it, deal with me
You seem to be forgetting that we also beat you at Beavercreek... But I guess those judges weren't on the "Show Choir Circuit" either right? lol
The point is Cabell Midland that we both have great shows that are highly competitive with eachother. I think if both schools always competed against eachother that it would continue to go back and forth according to who performed their show better that given day. Should you have beaten us at Poca? ABSOLUTELY! It was the worse show we have performed all year and we are willing to admit it. That was your day. Two of our best performances were at Beavercreek and Capital. Those were our days. If you beat us at states then it's because you were better than us that day and the same applies to us. I think we are missing the silver lining here which is West Virginia now has two more respectable programs.
EDIT: Im through with the immaturity and fighting... congrats to Nitro for all the accompishments you've made this year... i apologize for making it seem like im taking my frustration out on your entire group just becuz i dislike one person... i wish u all the best of luck!! sorry for any past negativity

all i have 2 say is caaaalm down...take it easy...and nobody from poca has "get on here from poca and make predictions like they are going to win" and nobody from poca has "been cheated"...and i dont think anybody from cabell midland said that either..and if they did, then they shouldn't have...the only people from poca to predict anything are myself and brett and we have both graduated...what we say is our personal opinions and has nothing 2 do with visual volume...and i too "go to college and study music", so we have a good idea of what we say too...besides, nobody that is currently in poca's choir even posts anything on here, so if ur going to attack somebody, attack bryan or brett and not poca, cuz they havent done anything or complain about anything and they understand that they lost saturday fair and square, and they arent complaining..all they are doing is looking forward to this coming weekend at cabell midland...they have moved and so should you...we suck it up and get over it and move on..heck, last year we won grand champs and then the next week finished like next to last out of like 18 schools and we didnt complain..it happens, u move on...and honestly, i think nitro has VASTLY improved from last year...u guys are DEFINITELY competitors and yes u should be proud of it, but take it easy..dont let little comments from people get u all flustered and stuff..the only thing that matters is wat u do for that 25 minutes u have on stage, and wat u guys do on stage this year is FANTASTIC...much, much MUCH improved from past years...i honestly wouldnt be surprised 2 see u win this year..u have a lot of talent and it is working out well for u guys, but dont let silly little stuff like comments on a web site ruin what u guys having going for u...ur becoming a great group and nothing will take that away from u guys..trust me..u dont want people remembering u from all the nasty comments rather than the great shows u do onstage....rather, the "sick" shows u do onstage lol...so take care of business guys and u will do great..i just felt this needed to be said...oh and once again...NOBODY from poca posts on here except for GRADUATES so dont bark at poca, bark at me or brett..thanks and plleeeeaaaassee take care

okay shayne.
i love cabell midland and the people in it, and i love the show. and if you are saying that the judges weren't on circuit or whatever at capital, like they were at poca? hmm okay, well if you looked around and realized at the places like colerain. they are clearly better than 2 or 3 groups that were placed in finals that evening. i'm not saying that we as in nitro belonged in finals, but there was some groups that didn't make it that def. should have been given a chance to compete again.
you all have gotten so much better since beaverceek. it is like night and day difference. but i can sit here and say that vocally, cabell midland is not better than us. everyone agrees and if they don't they don't know anything about music. your choreography is impressive and it is sharp and clean. but just because you beat us at poca when the judges were "up to par" doesn't mean you are better. we stepped it up at capital because we knew we needed to perform our best, and poca was not our best at all.
nothing agaisnt you. but i remember when i saw something on your myspace that said like 3 months until we win state champions. k listen, you don't ever say something like that when you know you are competing against hurricane. they are walking perfection and for someone who got 4th last year at states to say that you are going to win, is a little out of the ballpark. you took it off after awhile, didn't ya?
anyway, cabell midland is a good group this year. and i am always honest with whatever i say. i don't lie. but you got beat saturday. and just because states is coming up doesn't mean that you will beat us because the judges might be more 'on circuit'. you have a great voice and are a good performer. but just watch what you say about your group because even though YOU say it, it impacts the way people think about cabell midland, because you are a member of the group.

michael.. okay first of all. stephen left that comment because we are all getting tired of the comments from cabell midland and poca. we beat them, fair and square. the comments like oh it wasn't fair, hmm. i think it was. we aren't a better choir then cabell midland, but obviously the judges thought so. we didnt get placed well at all at poca and nobody got on here and as like AHH THE JUDGES WERE UNFAIR, and yelling go nitro and all that stupid BS. it's over. this drama on this website has like gone too far. stephen is from our group but hes not 'in' the group, he is an alumnist and he goes to college and studies music, he knows what he is talking about. i just think its stupid for people to get on here from poca and make predictions like they are going to win, when you don't know who you are competing against. nitro has come a long way this year and we don't have the good name that some other schools have, that just automatically brings the scores up. we have to do our best to even place in the top 6 at any competiton. nothing against you, but this whole capital competition post has been changed to, omg cabell midland and poca got cheated. um not they didn't, they got out scored=)

Oh I do apologize Mr. Fischer. I was unaware that anything you post had to be in a formal letter. I wasn't putting any groups down and I don't know where you come from but at Nitro we don't pretend to be anything. Oh and speaking of cocky... I've read some of the things that you posted in the past. You have a lot of room to talk sweet heart.
I have to say that Cabell Midland has come a long way in the past few years. This is the best show that I have seen from them yet. However, I think the results of the competition were very accurate. Cabell Midland is extremely clean but vocally it still has a way to go. Just because your loud doesn't mean your singing with proper vocal technique. Anyone with that many girls is going to be heard. I think the biggest problem is that you don't support your tone. I still feel that your show has come a long way since Beavercreek. Keep up the good work.
Poca, this just wasn't your day. I saw your show and I have to say that it wasn't your best. Your show lacked energy and vocally it was a little flat. I think you might have had trouble hearing your band. Even the soloist on the ballad has some minor pitch problems. In the past, this hasn't been a problem so I think it was a one time thing.
Congrads to Ravenswood. I didn't see your show but I was told that you had a nice choral sound and that you have improved a lot. You guys have been known to make drastic improvements in short periods of time.
I was impressed with St. C. I thought you had one of your better shows on saturday. Maybe even your best this year. Keep improving.
As far as Nitro goes... We have come a long way in one year. We had some minor problems on saturday that have never happened before. Our show still has a way to go but overall we had one of our better performances at Capital. Much improved since Poca. Keep up the good work guys.

We aren't pointing fingers at the wrong ppl, we all know exactly who did it, and like wildone said, if their director found out, there would be hell to pay.... All I can say is karma is a b***h, and I hope it shows in the next few weeks.... and i have a goog feeling it will
as said before we were all in the review room...and others were loading our things into our trailer...so it was not from the kids in the choir...it must have been someone else people can be childish...i love your alls show its amazing...and the person that said that was being completly childish and disrespectful but i'm sry they did that but it was not our choir...
We know it was no one from Nitro, so don't worry about it... Good job and congrats to you all... It was actaully members of a group who wasnt even competing that day
Then I apologize for my comment as well. We would never be that disrespectful. My comments earlier about your show were meant to be constructive and not hurtful. I really do think you guys have come a long way these past few years. Which choir was it if I may ask?
I don't even know how to respond to that. There must be some bitterness in the air in Cabell County.

By the way, did anyone at the comp. hear people screaming "Go Nitro" in the middle of Cabell Midland's show. That was really rude and if anyone knows who was doing it, please say who. If fit was you, fess up. That really isn't cool.
I'm coming into this part of the discussion quite late but wanted to let you know that I was sitting on the right hand side in the first row of the back seating area and I didn't hear that comment. I was sitting with a parent from Capital and she said she didn't hear it either.
I hope that the remarks of someone who obviously didn't have a direct connection to Nitro, won't cause unnecessary strife between the groups.
It could have well been a mistake by someone who didn't recognize either group and had misread the program. There are a number of logical reasons. To assume the worst is harsh and uncalled for.
By the way...I really enjoyed Cabell-Midlands show. It was the first time this year I'd had the opportunity to see it, and although I had heard great things from the Capital parent I was sitting with it was nice to be able to see it all in person.
Great Job!
