I think that they're better than i've ever seen them. if i gave 2006 an 8.5 i'd almost be obligated to give the show i saw in PRELIMS, a 10. Sure the choreo could be machine wash clean, but thats not the point and they're making it very clear with this show.
I know i started the "Carmel Ambassadors" topic, but it looks so... normal now.
Maybe I was just tired because i hadn't slept in like 30 hours, but NC's show hit me hard...
I dragged my friend along, who can not STAND show choir... Thinks it is absolutely the silliest crap there is out there, and he was bumpin to NC's show... and is now bugging me for the results of the Ben Davis comp. haha.
Why the doubt? Burroughs v. NC alone equals a good competition -- especially if the Counterpoints are looking for payback.
Look at tscott's signiture picture- any choir looking for payback will really need to take it to the next level. Burroughs did- what a great looking choir. And I'm sure the sound is just as great! WOW!
After seeing Findlay several times this season it's somewhat hilarious to see them being predicted any lower than third place. Granted, everyone is more than entitled to their own opinion, and granted, Findlay's classic show design is not for all tastes, but the group has a history of cranking it up for New York and I don't think this season will be any exception. Actually, this is my favorite Findlay show that I have seen live, and I think the group has a great chance of winning the whole thing.
At this point, my best guess as to the outcome is what will be listed below:
GC - Findlay
1RU - John Burroughs
2RU - Wheaton-Warrenville South
3RU - North Central
4RU - Greece Athena
5RU - Chula Vista
Vocals - Findlay
Choreo - John Burroughs/Findlay
Band - Findlay/Wheaton-Warrenville South
It feels strange placing North Central fourth, since they are such a favorite and always produce something intensely interesting, but I've found I like their shows during even numbered years more than odd numbered years. Somewhat silly reasoning, but I do think the group is better every other year. Wheaton-Warrenville South has the potential to be a dark horse, but I think their show will appear safe in comparison to other, more stylized choirs.
also, i thought i heard that waubonsie valley was going... was that just a rumor?
As far as I know that's just a rumor, I have heard nothing about Waubonsie Valley going to FAME New York. Unless a representative of the school says otherwise... I'd love them to throw their hat in :D
everyone is cp is so hyped to do both show and concert choir at fame! does anyone know who's going to be competing in the concert choir division? also, i thought i heard that waubonsie valley was going... was that just a rumor? ahhh only two months to go!
I am not as familiar with a few of these groups but from what I've seen thru YouTub i'd have to say this
GC: John Burroughs/WW
1st RU: WW/John Burroughs
2nd RU: North Central
3rd RU: Findley
4th RU: Greece Athena
5th RU: Chula Vista
But there is so much time for groups to perfect their shows, so i'm sure i'll change this up to the competition.
This would be a stellar competition to go to, but New York is just a bit far for me to travel. I can't wait to see what John Burroughs pumps out this year, i was a huge fan of last year

Well Sparky, instead of being a little prick, why don't you explain yourself like we all have?

Can we please be done trying to make this positive comment sound so negative?
Sounds like a great idea to me.
