I dunno, it smells like Los Al is setting Clinton up for the win with the selection of judges and performance time.
It feels like the Oscars, you know there is someone who SHOULD win, but someone else will win.
Which really all amounts to nothing about nothing. When it is all done and over with, the best Show Choir will have won.

Fairfield 2010 (I think) had a live feed, so anything is possible
I did it at Fairfield in 2010. I do the SoCal one, too. I'm not saying it's not possible for Los Al, but there haven't been any competitions on the west coast besides SoCal that have done a live feed that I'm aware of.
She is one of about 5 choreographers for Clinton and she is one of a few for Burbank. (not sure how many) An if you took "cookie cutter" as a negative term, I apologize I was just finding It difficult to find a term to describe the differences in choreography. When I think of "cookie cutter" I think of simultaneous non-layered Choreo and arm angles galore. And YES! Both groups do have great choreography. I wasn't trying to say one was better than the other, I was just trying to point out how they are different and either one of them could win with their radically different styles. I'm sorry you didn't like my post.
No need to apologize. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I didn't have I problem with your post. I was just stating what I think. Dialogue is a good thing.
Clinton's choreography is anything but cookie cutter.
Edit: You do realize April choreographs for both groups. I think Burbank AND Clinton both have fantastic choreo.
Just my opinion but dislike away c:

Choreo could really go either way. If the judges want clean, precise, cookie cutter choreography, Clinton will win it. If they are looking more for style appropriateness and overall energy, Burbank will win. Clintons show is harder vocally I think, but again Burbank sings with better style to their show and more energy. This is COMPLETELY down to what the judges think is more important; high octane energy and style or crisp choreography and perfect "choral" vocals. I am interested to see how it turns out.

Los Alamitos Xtravaganza (Day Two) 2012
I do the SoCal one, too. I'm not saying it's not possible for Los Al, but there haven't been any competitions on the west coast besides SoCal that have done a live feed that I'm aware of.
