I bought the feed but can't find the video :/ Help? Is it just on break since no one is performing?

I wonder if this guy and girl know that we can hear their conservation about taking caffeine pills.

There's a comic convention next door to Nationals and we're having fun playing "cosplay or show choir?"

The judges will probably have Uniondale much lower for their weaknesses in other areas, but their dancing as individuals is absolutely astonishing.

Click on the icon that says says LIVE CHAT ONLINE and let them know about the problems you are having. this is really unacceptable for a national championship
I mean, I could, and maybe I should since I am paying for it, but I am the kind of person who understands that things don't always go as planned. They fact they have a feed at all is awesome, and this early in it, issues are expected. If they don't have it completely fixed before mixed groups, I might be more annoyed. But I'm gonna let them try to work it out first before I get too angry.

Plus, I'm at work so I can only 1/2 pay attention anyway. If it had my full attention, I'd probably be more upset.

So Gail McInnis was just announced as best costumer - curious which groups here today worked with her. Anyone know? Thanks!

Did it just jump for everyone from the end of her solo forward (to the red long dresses)?
Mine literally quit. It said "The video you are trying to watch is currently unavailable. Please check back soon." It does this every like 5 minutes or so.. Then I refreshed quick. Started right away, but red dresses.

Who is this Pitch Perfect group? My feed is fine for them. But if its not live and instead back in time then I'm confused.

And damn, this soloist for "Listen" can saaaang.
The Pitch Perfect group is Los Alamitos "Soundtrax"

Yes, it was fine up until the end of Bonita Vista, but it keeps happening. Now it's jumping back in time...

Now it just skipped the beginning of Los Al Soundtrax.
The LIVE HELPLINE CHAT says they are having connectivity issues at the venue.

For those of you watching the live feed - does it keep stopping? I've watched two groups so far and it seems like the feed keeps stopping every 10 seconds or so. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks!

The live feed is decent.
No chat room available, unfortunately.
MC is painfully bad.

Okay so I was supposed to get off work at 8 AM (been here since 10PM) but my replacement didn't show so I'm stuck here till at least 3PM. Luckily I can be on my laptop, so I am considering buying the feed. Anyone out there currently watching want to give feedback to sway me into/against doing it???

As I'm sadly stuck in the desert unable to attend, I decided to partake in a favorite SCC-pastime ... YouTubing show choirs in the middle of the night. And I just have to say, I really hope Ankeny has an excellent performance. Everytime I watch "Visual Adrenaline" 2013, I enjoy the show more and more. From a jaw-dropping Titanium opener, to back-to-back Jessie J songs that are really cool, including a great ballad, to Beyonce's Sweet Dreams, AC/DC's Back In Black, and closing with Marry The Night by Lady Gaga. I love the song selections and the theme is implicitly wonderful.

This Des Moines Register article is also very sweet. For anyone unaware, the nationally-known and historic "Visual Adrenaline" name will be retired after this performance due to Ankeny splitting into 2 separate high schools. My favorite part of the article is, "We’re making a statement to the country — ‘This is who we are, and this is who we’ve been,'"

Although I wholeheartedly love Fairfield and Powerhouse this year, Ankeny does classic show choir like no other. And I hope they wrap up the illustrious "Visual Adrenaline" legacy with a great placement. Best of luck to Ankeny and all other competing show choirs.
I obviously knew this was happening, but reading you say it here finally makes it real. Today will be the last time Ankeny "Visual Adrenaline" will ever compete it competition. Wow. Growing up, "VA" was always one of the premiere groups in the state, the ones you looked up to. And after today we will be saying goodbye. How awesome would that be if they could sneak out a victory here today storywise? Meh, no matter what their finish, they have definitely done the state of Iowa proud.
