Well I can understand the economy playing a part in where groups go, but what dosen't make sense to me is my post was about the lack of local groups on that list. You wouldn't think that it would affect their attendance that much, since they are close to home. I guess we shall see.

Cody is absolutely correct on the section I put in bold... In 2006, South Jones and Petal both had groups that were one of the best groups in each group's history... NEJ was solid that year, but they wouldn't have beaten SJ or Petal, much less stomped them...
But back to this competiton... We usually have the worst of luck here... For example, a few years ago we came and it was PITCH BLACK backstage... We couldn't find costumes, so it turns out that about 25% of the group wasn't on stage for the closer... And then last year we performed against several groups that were better than us hands down... Hopefully that will change this year...
i am from northeast and the thing he is talking about ''stomping'' is not true because petal was not there and we didnt beat south we just took alot of the caption awards and i think the competion was picayune
i hope this helps.. but i could be very wrong
It seems competitions are running a little slim this year. Take a look at the once full fledged competition in Onalaska, WI. I believe there's 10 or so choirs in attendance this year, opposed to previous years with well over that.
I can't say for sure, but I think the weak economy might have a little to do with it. Show choir is an expensive activity, so I think folks may be cutting down on the number of competitions, or competiting more locally. Who knows? " border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

That list looks a little thin for the number of groups that usually come to the South Central Classic. There must be more of the local Alabama groups than are on that list. Guess we will see when the offical list gets posted.
Since making the transition to the largest division in 2003 (that's as far as my knowledge goes), South Jones has not been beaten by either Northeast or West Jones at any competition; that's at least six straight seasons. I assume the competition you referred to is PRCC's "Mississippi show choir Contest" (no longer in existence), where choirs were only scored, judged, and scaled against their own division. Scores given to a Single-A group can't be compared to scores given to a Double-A or Triple-A. If they intended for all groups scores to be scaled the same way, the competition wouldn't have had divisions. Don't know who gave you the idea that you "STOMPED South and Petal", but you and that person are both way off.
I'll guarantee you that it has never been either South Jones or Petal's aim to "make WJ and NEJ bad"; I'm not even sure how one group can make another look bad, outside of just out-performing them altogether.
Feel free to explain what on earth all that means....?? " border="0" alt="blink.gif" />
