Here are the 6 that I think will move on to finals!
(In alphabetical order.)
- Excel
- Free Spirit
- Infinity
- Innovation
- Resonance
I'm giving SE POLK (RAMification) the benefit of the doubt that they will be able to pull finals at this invitational or else I think it will be Express. It's hard for me to be 100% confident in my predictions because I haven't ever been to this competition personally and I haven't seen or heard most of these groups. But after research this is the best I could do!
my school has never competed here before. are the rules the same as a normal competition? as in, 6 varsity show choir get into finals? or are they any different?
I just looked them up and saw they finished 5th at Linn-Mar so I'll believe you since you know a lot more than I do.
I'll go
GC-Lincoln Southwest "Resonance"-BB, BC, BV
1RU-Johnston "Innovation"
2RU-Millard North "Infinity"
3RU-Papillion LaVista "Free Spirit"
4RU-Elkhorn "Excel"
5RU-Lincoln East "Express"
FUN FACT!
At Linn Mar Happiness swept the competetion with Johnston in 5th but yesterday at Urbandale Johnston beat Kennedy!
I haven't seen any of those groups, so I couldn't tell you based on the shows, but SW's prep group has a REALLY REALLY advantageous time slot. So I would guess it would be them if they have a good enough show. Johnston's prep is always super good, but they have the worst time slot of the 3 being mentioned.
I'm thinking the two prep groups might have gotten good time slots based on them being in finals last year, but once again, still a strange schedule. And yeah, Johnston prep could be better, I just don't know anything about them.
Actually, I would put Johnston's prep in over LSW's prep even. So, yeah. Saying Illumination will make finals here is an extremely bold statement.

If any prep or women's group makes finals here I think it would be SW prep. This competition is a little different than the other competition that illumination made finals for.

I think millard north infinity and illumination will make finals they are super good this year!

The event has been updated based off of the above schedule! If anyone knows the names of Waverly HS/Wahoo HS show choirs, feel free to post and we can update that.
Johnston will easily finish top 3 here. Their prep group has a pretty chance at making finals, too.
I'll predict:
GC. Lincoln Southwest (BC,BB)
1RU. Johnston (BV)
2RU. Millard North
3RU. Papillion LaVista
4RU/5RU will be between Elkhorn, Lincoln East, and Johnston's Prep. I could see them going in any order.

Southeast Polk and Johnston I don't know anything about.

I really like competitions that have their prep group go before finals announcements and then their open group before end awards, that way you don't have strange filler pieces that sometimes can get a little awkward.
This is kind of a smaller more localized competition so it's a little hard to judge where some groups might end up, I'll take a shot in the dark.

2RU-Papillion LaVista "Free Spirit"
3RU-Elkhorn "Excel"
4RU-Lincoln East "Express"
5RU-Lincoln Southwest "Ambience"
There could be a few surprises, I'm just guessing a lot more with people I haven't seen. I know Papio South prep made this spot last year right behind Ambience, Millard North's womens group has made a finals this year, and Southeast Polk and Johnston I don't know anything about.
