Ok... I think ALL of the captions including names have been added! Thanks to everyone (Ethan, Patrick, Michael, Bryce, Wyatt, and others) for posting all that information and adding names!
It was no problem!

I just saw on Twitter that Fairfield was 0.3% away from 1st. Wow.

I want to know the point spread!

"Gillette College Scholarship winners are: Garrett Griffen from Sullivan and Ellen of Fairfield? Idk lady announcer was awkward as heck." -Ethan Price lololol


SO. MANY. AWARDS.

Congrats to everyone that competed!

THIS CONCLUDES THE 2013 SHOW CHOIR SEASON. WOO!

You're welcome for these awards mister "I don't want to buy the live feed so let's live vicariously through Ethan and his Twitter".

Honestly, thought the live feed wasn't quite as good as the ones Haakon had done in California, once they got the bugs out this morning it was clear, smooth, and the sound was pretty good. All in all, definitely worth the 20 dollars to see 20+ of the nations best mixed and women's show choirs. I will probably continue to get the live feed in future years if they offer it and I cannot attend in person.

Until next year, my friends!

I think it will be interesting to see the list from 1 to 19 for Mixed Division (and 1 to 11 for the Women's). These were all incredible groups and I have a very strong feeling that this was VERY close!!! Congratulations to everyone and I'll be counting the days to the 2014 competition season!!!

Congratulations to John Burroughs "Powerhouse" and "Sound Sensations" for being the Grand Champions of the FAME National Show Choir Championship Series for 2013. Way to represent Southern California show choir!

Congrats to Burroughs for winning top honors! Also SO proud of Fairfield! Great job representing Ohio and overcoming the first time slot and placing fourth! Ditto what Ethan said about VA and congrats to ALL other competing groups. Definitely a competition for the record books!

Now if someone would be able to provide the COMPLETE rankings from 1-19 (and 1-11 in womens) that would be excellent...

Did you know that there is a Tweet limit? Because I just hit it. By some unknown force or being... My very last tweet before being kicked off Twitter for a few hours was announcing the Grand Champion! Could you have imagined if I hit it just a couple earlier?

Congratulations to John Burroughs on the mixed and women's sweep!

And another big congratulations to Ankeny. Third best show choir at nationals in your last year of existence is nothing to hang your hats on. Thank you for making the state of Iowa proud

Well one is Cinderella and the other is cinderfella. They are slightly different but they are pretty much the same theme. They do it very differently though just like with wizard of oz last year. Wheaton was more light hearted while los al was more on the serious side
I think you can safely say that more often than not your west coast shows will approach any topic or theme more seriously. Props to Fairfield for shifting to the dark side!

Best female stage presence in the women's division is Addy Jo Johnson from Norwell. Not Abby.

I saw both shows live and I never made the comparison. They both approach the rags to riches story from a different angle and with totally different energy. I wouldn't compare them at all.
