Lots of great groups here. Here are my predictions...
GC: Urbandale (BV,BB)
1RU:Ankeny (BC)
2RU: Xavier
3RU:Muscatine
4RU: Davenport
5RU:Ankeny Prep or Urbandale Prep
I could see 2RU-4RU being different otherwise from what I've seen this is what I think.
The rules at Supernova specifically state that the fourth level of platforms CAN be removed to accommodate shows. All we ask is that groups set up, perform, and tear down in their alloted performance time. Our very experienced stage crew will assist any group in accomplising this for their show. Organization is the key!
Agreed. If Mitchell could set up and tear down their show in 25 minutes, ANYONE can!
Well, in Jefferson's case, the staging we use (the scaffolding and boxes and stuff) doesnt fly at most competitions. As in, the rules of local competitions forbid us from removing risers, to save time. That is a major reason Jefferson is competing in only 1 Iowa competition this year, and the other 4 being in either Illinois, Nebraska, and Indiana. And with other schools following suit, groups have to travel farther to do this. Which could potentially be bad in the future unless these competitions change their rules. And even though Im graduating, I dont see our shows getting any smaller in the future. Hope that answers the question.

Very excited to host this competition! I definitely will be camped out in the gym all of finals and maybe all of day round as well. Good luck to all groups- I especially can't wait to see Urbandale for the first time, Ankeny also for the first time, and Davenport Central for a third time. I love me some Davenport Central.
Good Schedule! Question to the CR people why now love for Kennedy's comp? Seems to me with all the budget cuts a competition In-town would save on the bank, are there other conflicts? Just curious
BTW here are my predictions:
GC:Ankeny
1RU:Urbandale
2RU:Xavier(these three could be switched)
4RU:Davy Central
5RU:Muscatine or the prep winner
We always try to accommodate the needs of any choir coming to Raise The Roof! I was not contacted about Jefferson's set this year, but had they come, we would have made it work!
Hmm. Well that wouldve saved a lot more money than indiana, lol.

I don't believe Wash has any rules about taking down risers, but of course you can't come to MoShow lol.

Much like some schools alternate years with Wash/Jeff, we find that many groups alternate years at RTR. We are hopeful to host our CR colleagues in future years!
