Haha... yes... I do.
I'm glad that you came and posted in this topic to represent your group positively and not negatively like this individual has. It just continues to concern me though, the ammount of "rogue" Troy posters who create fake or double SCC names to spread the "religion of Troy". Yes... it happens with other groups too, but not as frequently as it happens with Troy.
Ft. Atkinson, WV?



I am guessing that most Troy posters are NOT happy with this particular individual. I noticed one reply stating that it was an alum and not a current member. Ruins it for all the good kids who just want to compete and have a good time. All in all, most posters on this website are pleasant and positive. I hate it that a few bad apples ruin it for some schools. Try not to be too hard on any one school because of a few thoughtless people.

I personally don't understand why everyone wants to "compare" groups and such. Every school, every year does something different with different people and some years are better than others for every school. I just don't see how anyone can "predict" or compare before every competition. Everyone knows that judges can be very unpredictable. Unless someone goes to every competition, I don't see how it's possible to even know what's in store from each school. Of course there are always posters from every school who say stupid stuff and put their foot in their mouths and everyone knows this so why not just ignore the stupidity? I think it would be nice if no one "predicted" anything from these competitions, but just discussed them after the fact. I heard Clinton was beaten at Sullivan this weekend so I don't think anyone can predict anything! Good luck to all the groups competing this weekend!

YOUR MY FAVORITE =>
thats so right
it makes me mad because of people are all like "we are better then you"
and when you act like its just sad
i also dont like that rating thing im sorry i know someone made it fom here
but i just dont think its fair
im not saying that because im group isnt high
because i know theres alot of freat groups out there
i just think (and yah i know its only the second year)
you should maybe combine the scores with the years to actually have the best rated
and sorry this is going off topic

sorry about that last post but i accidently used my brother's screen name. Wht i meant to say was WW and Ft. Atkinson (who i have heard are pretty good this year) those 2 groups (along with onalaska) compared to troy is just interesting to me.

Well i think that most of kids on here misuse SCC this is a forum to talk about show choir, a common interest of all of us. Not to try and spread your "RELGION OF (your group here)" I think most posters need to keep this in mind, yet you can still have your opinion heard but it can be done in a more civil manor than saying this group dominated last year, and i am from Troy and to say Troy dominated chicagoland is false if you were from Troy at that show we didnt think we made finals! how is that for dominating. All i am saying is please think before you post because your mind and actions reflect upon your school, your show choir, your town and your director. I will get off my soapbox now.

I am excited for this comp though!

"dominated" ?
I recall it being quite close... " border="0" alt="ermm.gif" />

Troy was very good, though, and I enjoyed their show.

MMMM.... Perhaps be a little more considerate of other groups in these forums. mmmmm... Yep.
Everything you say here reflects on to your group-- no matter whether you are posting it, or you create a profile to post your feelings.


Anybody got an IP on this wonderful one-post wonder?

Or maybe Jorge wants to say something?
J/k! I heart you, Adam Peters.

Haha... yes... I do.

I am from troy and i agree with your statement this is an alum from troy so sorry. I dont think people understand that their single opinion does reflect upon that group. so note to future posters.

Honestly, i dont believe what i just read...comparing troy to groups like Ft. Atkinson, WV and even onalaska should not even be done in my opinion. and being cocky about it does not help at all.


Ft. Atkinson, WV?
