..people are allowed to not include your group in their predictions for finals, wow.
People are allowed to be curious as to why there group was not included in ones predictions for finals or why they are placed the way they are. I don't feel its unfair to ask someone to justify what they are saying. I would hope that people could do that fairly easily, because I would hope one thinks about what they say, prior to them saying it. It was already cleared up why AustinH put Kennedy at 1RU instead of GC, I don't see why its unfair to be curious about why a group didn't make his final predictions at all.
I would also hope you had no intentions of being disrespectful towards another person, because thats really not why this website is here.
At least one soloist. I think I know the exact number, but like you said, no need to spread rumors. That whole situation is very unfortunate.
Thanks, and agreed, I feel terrible for everyone involved :/ I'm sure however, despite the missing members, Happiness Inc. will give a great performance, and will be great competition
Its really unfortunate that those 9 members won't be able to preform, and at such a great competition. Just out of curiosity, and this could be totally false, but is it true that a soloist is among those who are not going to be able to preform? Its just something I heard and am wondering if its true, please don't mistake it as rumor spreading or bad talk, I just am wondering.

I am only placing Kennedy at 2nd because of their recent lost of 9 members. Who knows tho, a week gives them time to fix blocking and other related stuff.

I can tell you a story of a group that won a GC over another group that finished 1RU the week before Great River.
The next week at Great River, the 1RU group from the week previous took the GC. Last week's GC group finished 7th and didn't even make finals.
The moral of the story is - anything's possible! Take it from someone who knows very well
I had that same group who got 7th in 2nd at Great River prelims that year.
So is 10th to 2nd- happened when I was in high school. Also, 7th to 2nd with Washington this year. Anything is possible in between a week. Especially when historically this is a great competition for groups like Washington, Kennedy, and Sauk Prairie.

2nd to 9th is a BIG gap.

I feel like Washingtons show is a show that when its performed there is two cases: really great or bad, there really isnt a middle. Ive seen them 2 times and both times i thought the same thing, that the talent was there, but it wasnt shining thruogh. That is why i place them lower.
I would have to say my predictions would be the following
GC: Linn- Mar
1ru: Cedar Rapids Kennedy
2ru: Sauk Prairie
3ru: Iowa City West
4ru: Cedar Rapids Washington
5ru: Davenport North
Vocals: Cedar Rapids Kennedy
Choreography: Linn-Mar
Band: Cedar Rapids Kennedy

What about IC High..?
GC: Linn- Mar
1ru: Cedar Rapids Kennedy
2ru: Sauk Prairie

I just want to stick up for Washington and Davenport North. In day round at Fort Atkinson last week Sauk Prairie received 9th place. Davenport North got 6th, and Cedar Rapids Washington got 2nd. I know it wasn't Sauk Prairie's best performance, but it was the 2nd time I got to see Sauk live, and I just still have a hard time seeing them place in front of either group, but especially Washington. 2nd to 9th is a BIG gap.
