I won't post scores in respect for Sauk Prairie, who still hasn't received their scores yet, since they left early. Once I know they have them, they'll be up. Sorry! Just trying to be courteous!

This was a great comp and crete had a lot of fun. It was wonderful meeting all the nice iowa choirs Happiness especially you guys were awesome on and off stage! I enjoyed every thing about this comp: the people the home squares and that place boozies down the block had great food lol in the end i know there were mixed opinions about our placing but overall we were proud of our show and of our scores, especially at a comp with such great choirs.a special thanks to Our critique Kevin- we really appreciated your comment, advice and words of encouragement, Im a senior but I hope our choir comes back next year because we really enjoyed ourselves.
I was pretty much shocked that you guys didnt make finals, to say the least. I had you in 4th at the worst. You guys were great, keep your heads up.

You guys have a lot more snow than we do! I was also glad to hear at least one midwest "you betcha!" from the wonderful woman serving concessions.
Seems like a very open and friendly competition... the video would make me want to take my choir there if I had one! Good job Adam & Co.
Häakon! You should come out next year! You could come and enjoy some wonderful midwest show choir! Heck... you could even come and bring a camera and be the director for a better "Great River Promotional" DVD! It could win an Oscar!
You should show some of your California directors this epic film... they seem to like to travel to random show choir competitions in the midwest... why not a fantastic one like "Great River"???

the most amazing thing happened today!
I came across (with the help of a wonderful person) two very exciting videos depicting this well run and fabulous event!
with the help of these two videos, I came to the conclusion that this competition is the biggest thing you can get to without it being a FAME event or other competition of that caliber.
Im definitely making the trip next year!
I wonder how you found those?! " border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
I hope everyone enjoys these comical videos displaying the "Great River" venue and experience. In no way was it supposed to be professional... just a simple look through the eyes of someone who would actually attend. John Stender, my partner in crime for this video isn't a dunce... just an actor extraordinare... as for my performance... that's about 85% authentic Jorge... I mean, Adam.

That's not really unusual... Garfield Heights' and Iowa City West's version of that song were both choreographed by the same person anyways (Antwon Chavis)

Thanks so much. Yea both of our groups tried really hard so its good that someone felt that our show was great. It was disappionting to not be in finals but winning grand champion is awesome.
Thanks! We didnt really think anyone got to see us cause we went so early. Im so happy you liked our show! Your comment pretty much made my day.
Just got home from Great River and I have to say that my new favorite group this year is "Lights" from Mundelein. I have never heard a girls group sing like that before (well ... I guess "Faces" from Crete would be another great girls group). I saw them perform back in 2004, but didn't remember them to be as good as that. From the first second of their show I was amazed. I was really disappointed not to see them in finals.
I would just like to say that yes me and jay (proud alums of Washington) had them higher, but so did Adam, and i know the other two people we were with had them ranked higher.
And thanks to who said who Supergeek was done by!!! I was trying to remember last night, driving me insane.
