Our hosts were really awesome, they were the best hosts we've had this season! They even talked to us! WEEEEEEEEEE Carrol was the best comp I have had all season, very nice!
Could someone please post the who the judges work for or where they are from? Any groups they are affiliated with would be great, such as choreo., show writer, arranger, vocal coach, etc.
The judges were David Morton, J. Kevin Butler, Betty McKee, Lamonte Kuskye, and Andy Cosentino. Great job to all peformers! Btw...thanks Lila for correcting my last name...lol (everyone always butchers my last name... )
I agree, I had a great time and I can*t wait to go back! The solosist were all AWESOME and I really enjoyed watching everyone*s shows (that I was able to watch). Congratulations to everyone and good luck to you all for future competitions!
Thanks everyone for a great time! I was surprized to hear so many positive comments on all other groups! You guys did a wonderful job making us feel welcome!

GREAT JOB! mwah!
FC's outstanding performer was Nick Mitchaner, not Conner. I understand name errors though...that's a bunch to remember. This competition was a close one, and it was a lot of fun...note to all choirs hosting a comp: Arby's, Frosties, and slushies are the way to go! Night night!

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE WHO PERFORMED!!!
The Carroll Invitational was a great showcase of talent!
We got Peoples Choice Award. This is our 2nd year in a row getting it at Carroll! Last year it didn't really count it was the parents but this year the parents didn't even know about the jars to put the $$ in. Too bad we went earlier in the day but we still had a great time.
Here are updates about the Carroll Show Choir Invitational 2004.
