Obviously the show choir season is very young, but many of the groups that will be attending the Competition of Excellence have already gone to competitions and been very competitive! Here are some of the placements that groups coming to the competition have already received.

I'm looking forward to a great competition later this week!
Very excited to host all the show choirs that are coming! It'll be different to actually be on the hosting side instead in concessions or something like that. I am especially excited about Mitchell!(I will be hosting you guys! :D) It will definitely be a good competition to see who comes up on top. I wish good luck to all the groups and I hope they have an awesome time here at Westside!
I have these groups making finals for sure :
Totino Grace "Company of Singers"
Mitchell "Friend de Coup"
Lincoln Southwest "Resonance"
Most likely making finals I have:
Elkhorn South "Blackout"
Sioux City East "The Headliners"
Then the last spot will be a BLOODBATH between:
GINW "14 Karat Gold"
Ralston "RUSH"
GISH "Ultimate Image"
Papillion La Vista "Free Spirit"
Keller, TX "Voices of Central"
Lewis Central "Lewis Corporation"
A lot of great, entertaining, and deserving groups will be going home early.
They should just have two sets of finals xD
Good luck to all groups! Everyone will need it! haha
Wow. An absolutely solid line up from 12:45pm on. Depending on how they come out, could start being good as soon as 11:25am. This is a fantastic schedule. Like Jay said, predicting finals will be pretty impossible. I see three groups I would say are almost guaranteed finals based on last year and reputation. But other than those three, this really could go any way. I love Westside's competition and wish I was going back.
OMG this is a big competition. I feel sorry for the judges. They are going to need an IV by the end of finals..... Totally stacked though. Will be impossible to predict finals.
