I do not agree that Northrop deserved second place. I'm not saying they did poorly, but I honestly do not believe they deserved second. There was something else going on in the judging panel last night.
What was the complete list of judges (and qualifications if provided in the program)?

Nothing upsets me more than to see people talk so rudely about a choir. Northrop kicked some serious butt last night and they definately deserved 2nd place. Next time you wanna talk trash, try not hide behind a name without a choir associated.

do u honestly think u guys deserved to be ahead of dekalb or chesterton? anyone with a functioning brain could have told that u guys were too high hun. and no it wasnt all the judges.
Do you have all the judges scores then?
I'm interested in seeing how the judges placed everyone!

Final notes: I think there was an unfair advantage in this competition, but you all did good. I would just say that, it must be nice to have a former director on the judging pannel for northrop! may explain the mass confusion on the night placements. but thats just my opinion
This statement is uncalled for. Mr Heins hasn't been associated with Northrop since 2000. He has been a judge at 'Busco before when we have competed there as well as judging numorous other places. I doubt the people at 'Busco would allow a judge to come back if they even suspected he would give an unfair advantage to a group. Mr. Heins is a respected choral judge and would not stoop to unfairly judging a choir.
I understand that it's your opinion that we were placed to high, and that's fine. It was also the opinion of 5 judges, not one, that we were placed 2nd.
wow! busco was such a suprise last night! congrats to all the groups u all did amazing!
here were my predictions after seeing the night show
GC: FC
1RU: DeKalb
2RU:Chesteron
3RU:Northrop
4RU:Anderson

good luck to everyone in the rest of their season!
Just got back from Ft. Wayne. What an exciting competition! Busco played a great host to a really fun competition. The groups made it a thriller down to the last second! Northrop....WOW Strings?! I didn't think that was possible!! Anyway, a great day (and a great finish...might I say :-D ). And for any of you who may have missed it...the Singers (ya...I'm just the drummer :-D ) got so excited in celebration on stage that the trophy broke in half due to excessive shaking!!! hahahahaha
Way to go FC!!!!!!!! I'm so proud of you guys and how you've learned to believe in yourselves again this year. Take a couple days to celebrate a hard-earned victory, then get ready to start pushing the show higher and higher! God Bless, Damon
I only got to see two shows besides 'Busco and that was Anderson and Chesterton at night.
Anderson - the austin powers suits for the opener were great! and ur guys number was hillarious! Overall very entertaining, ur shows are always so unique.
