GCS had rankings of:
1,1,3,4
Prairie and Jeff had:
1,2,2,3
Interesting. At the contest we host, GCS would have been named the winner, as they had more first place votes. We don't add the rankings, we look for an indication of judges consensus. Just goes to show that scoring methodology matters, and that show choir is SOOOOOO subjective! Congrats to all! Sounds like it was a great contest!
Anyway--these are my critiques I only watched a few groups but here they are:
LaX Logan- Good show. The choreography was one of the cleanest all day. Your vocal intensity was okay. That's where I felt the show came down a bit but overall, it was a fun show. Keep doing what you're doing.
CR Jeff- Seriously a fantastic show. Super clean vocals and choreography. Excellent expression girls! The guy's were also very good in their small feature section. If there was a costuming award, you guys would have locked it up in a snap. Very cool looking stuff.
CR Prairie- Cool show guys! You have excellent vocal intensity and dynamics in your opener and closer. "Hey Mambo" was fantastic. It took the entire show up a notch. The opener was also very clean and intense. However, I did feel like I watched two ballads in your show. Overall, CONGRATS and work on bringing the other three songs up to the level of your bookends.
Janesville Craig- Overall, a good show. The choreography was overall just some great material and you performed it well. I would like to see you clean it a little more, however. You vocals were very confident and blended well but I felt like I needed a little more diction. Also, your sound is a little bright especially in your ballad. But you did a fantastic job and keep on keeping on!
GCS- I only saw your show on the TV but it did look very clean. You are all awesome people and oh so very talented. Good luck with your season.
Well, that's all I've got. If you saw our finals performance, a critique would be appreciated.
hey guys i want to thank you all for all of the wonderful support. it really means alot to me. i just wanted to let you know that all of you did a great job. GCS.....i loved your ballad....i thought that you pulled that off like no other choir could. jeff.....i thought that your tap was great.....good job. Oh MR RED BANDANA......CONGRATS ON BEST MALE SOLOIST.....(at least i think it was you)....oh i saw you i just was in a hurry and i didnt have time to say hello.
NEWAY i had a great day and thank you to manona grove for hosting this great show choir comp.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU IN THE REST OF YOUR COMPETITIVE YEAR! I THOUGHT YOU ALL DID GREAT!
I just wanted to say congrats to all show choirs that were competing today. you all put forth your best effort.
Congrats to CR Prairie on your second win of the season! thats amazing. Im glad Weaver's groups are still coming out on top. Best of luck to you all for the rest of the season.
again, job well done to everyone.
Milton, great start to your year! I knew you were going to have a successful day when I was up there last week, and i'm just very happy that all your recent hard work has paid off with a solid beginning. God Bless, Damon
I just got back from this competition (left after prelims) and I have to say I'm suprised CR Prairie didn't finished first after the first round. The only group out of the six finalist that I did not see of the group was CR Jefferson, however from those I saw I would have definitely had Prairie in first. I wouldn't be suprised if they finish on top. I was completely blown away by their performance. Virtually, flawless! I also really enjoyed LAX Central, (always entertaining and the vocal were amazing), and I was really happy for La Crosse Logan. Their reaction to hearing they made finals was so genuine and fun to watch! Their show was extremely high energy, clean, and the vocals were great. It's nice to see them have such a great start to the year! Definitely one of my favorite groups of the day! I think they will be quite a force this season! It More thoughts later.
