The time penalty is true. The MC talked about penalties being enforced right before they announced finals. They said that obviously because of MTZ.
Also, Sauk Prairie's show is selections from Jesus Christ Superstar. They just took the stage. UnFortunately will not be able to update after this until after finals awards are announced.
MTZ only had extra risers they judt did it very slowly.
And they should be very aware of the time restrictions as they have been coming for quite awhile now.
Facebook (thanks Jorge) just told me they got a 150 point time penalty. If the rules were clearly spelled out and enforced fairly, then so be it.
*If anyone knows what the criteria were for the time penalty (points per minute or something to that effect) and/or what would have caused Mt. Zion to receive that large of penalty, please share.
Wow... a drastic change from the past panels of judges.
Mark Mangold has been there before! Doran would pass out the judges' tapes to the seniors and have them take notes about what they said. I got Mangold and I enjoyed it.
We were there last night for the Middle School Clinic and Gates gave us an AMAZING critique session. He was right on target! Thanks to Onalaska for allowing us to come up!
Classic Judges: Timothy Peters, Gary Walth, Dr. Ann Elise Schoenecker, Mark Mangold, Tina Thielen-Gaffey, Jannette Hanson, Gates Crisler, Peter Eklund, and Emily Begnaud.

I would imagine that Tim Peter isn't judging the show choir competition and just the concert choir portion. There is a huge festival at Luther (Dorian) that really starts taking off today.
