I'm hoping the best for CR Jefferson at this one. I'll bet they could use a good pick-me-up after their first two competitions. But they perform well, so I'm sure they'll do an awesome job. (:
Will Prep groups go against Women groups like usual?
Mixed Prep will compete separately against Women's Prep for class placings, but will be competing together for Best Prep Vocals and Best Prep Choreography.
So awesome to see so many events taking the initiative and making live feeds happen this year. I will make sure to help spread the word! Thanks also for the updated schedule; we will get the changes addressed shortly.
We are all getting very excited to see everyone in Keokuk on Saturday!!!
As mentioned, there will be a live-feed streaming all day on Saturday thanks to Conn Communications! There is a link to the feed from the main homepage at www.conncommunications.com or the direct link through Livestream is http://new.livestream.com/accounts/2745821/powercityclassic

I'll take a shot at predicting this just for fun. Davenport West beat Jeff earlier in the year at Mt. Zion, but I think that Jeff has improved enough to overtake them. One prediction that I am sure of is that Jeff will make finals for the first time this year. It should come down to two themed shows, Muscatine and Jeff.
Predictions:
GC: Muscatine (BV) (BC)
1RU: Jefferson (BB)
2RU: West Davenport
3RU: Des Moines Lincoln
4RU: Jefferson Prep
5RU: Western Dubuque

Naperville North loved this competition last year - it was our first ever. Wish it would've worked out with our schedule again - the kids really wanted to go back!

I definitely remember watching the live stream of the Power City Classic last year and was very impressed with not only the quality of feed, but also the quality of groups and how exciting the competition was. I'm looking forward to watching it from a distance again this year.
