Homewood (The Network): It was a pleasure to see yall again in Albertville. Your ballad was my favorite of the day! Your closer has some incredible April James choreography. Everyone that I talked to said that your finals performance was an improvement over prelims. (I didn't get to watch any prelim shows because I was busy syncing iPods.) Can't wait to see your show again next weekend!
Enterprise (Encore): I hope yall enjoyed coming to Albertville as much as we enjoyed having you. I spoke to some of your parents before a performance and they were very kind and gracious. Such a spectacular group! As far as your performance goes, I was surprised that a choir as big as yall (I'm guessing there were at least 60 people on that stage) did not have a more full sound. Your choreography was tight. I wish yall the best of luck for the rest of the season.
South Jones (Company): If I were choosing captions, best outfits would have went to yall. I thought almost every aspect of your show was tasteful. Hope yall had a great weekend!
Auburn (Varsity Singers): I've got to be honest with yall. I had a good feeling that the competition was your's after I saw yall in warm-up before your prelim performance. Those were some intense, in-your-face, vocals. Your choreography was the highest quality of the night, but yall could be a little tighter with the execution. I saw your success coming years ago. Congratulations on a well deserved championship. A special congratulations to Eron and Mary on the baby!
Beech (Melodic Impact): During the middle of your show, I literally forgot that I was watching a show choir. I followed the story line of your show and I think it is MAGNIFICENT! It was a real SHOW! I appreciated the plot that your show had and I think your performance was wonderful. I am so glad that yall came. Thank yall for the entertainment value that your show has. AWESOME job!
Oak Mountain (Con Brio): Congratulations on your finals appearance. I liked your opening outfits. Good luck the rest of the season.
Oak Mountain (The Craftsmen): HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Your show is awesome! I just don't know that I could ever bring myself to perform that kind of hilarity in front of so many other people. And BAREFOOTED at that! Great job, guys. I love yall.
Just heard that New Edition from South Jones won the Ladies Division.... Congratulations on your first win in your first competition!
Congrats! Does anybody have any more placings, or new additions (hah, that might be punny) to the ladies division?
congrats to all choirs that performed at the Diamond Classic, esp Auburn Varsity Singers on a great show and an outstanding win. Each and every choir is to be commended for good performances and we look forward to seeing you back next year.
I saw every choir that performed this weekend and I'm amazed by the level of pure awesomeness that was flying off our stage. Every group did a fantastic job!!!! Congratulations to everyone who competed!!!
I also want to thank the Albertville parents and volunteers for making the 2nd annual Diamond Classic such an amazing experience.
Nvm. I didn't notice you already had them listed. I'm reading on my iPhone so it's easy to miss things. Haha. Thanks for the update. Congrats to everyone! Wish I could have been there!
Thanks Daniel!!! I had gotten two different versions. One from a current CenterStage member and one from a former member. I went with the one that came from the current CenterStage member instead of the former one but I guess I chose the wrong one! Haha. Thanks for the correction! Do you know the captions? I believe Auburn won vocals. Is that correct?
Um......reread the post carefully. It's all there.
