This was one of the BEST competitions I've been to! Man, Waukee and Mitchell were phenomenal, and I was seriously scared that they would top Company. I mean both groups had stunning vocals and tight choreography, so congrats on that! And Jefferson's band....WOW....I was shocked when Company got Best Band (not that Company's band was bad lol). Good job Mitchell on getting People's Choice, and the Costuming for Jefferson was pretty cool (I loved the pink and black dresses at the end).
Company, I am once again SO proud to be an alum. You guys were incredible, and the ballad was breathtaking. I remember teaching a lot of you guys the choreography in Encore, and I'm so proud of how far you've come! Keep up the good work, and good luck in Chicago! Oh and Katie, congratulations on Best Female Soloist: you earned it.
Huge Congrats to Totino.... you have a stunning show. one of the best I've ever seen. Also a HUGE HUGE congrats to Mitchell. You guys looked and sounded phenomenal. You make me proud to be an alumn.

When do Finals start and what times does each group go?
****Another thing I noticed on Hasting's show choir website was that they don't have Bloomington Kennedy's "East Side Rhythm" on the schedule at all, and on here they are and go on at 8am. Is this current schedule posted on Feb 3rd accurate?****
Unfortunatley East Side Rhythm will not be there with us. So the schedule on Hastings website is accurate and not on here.

Connection's band was incredible. I'm very excited about this competition and very excited to see Mitchell and Waukee and hear Connection's band again <-- legitimate chills during that brass section before the closer. Good work.
I've been hearing and seeing a lot of good things about all the groups going. I'll bring band-aids.
i have something that might effect your predictions:
last week at Waconia the Connection was 1st going into finals, 20 points ahead of Vocalmotive from Bemidji and 40 points ahead of RIG. Jefferson tied RIG in finals, so don't be so hasty to put Rig above Connection....
