Arla Clausen and Steve Woodin are always some of my favorite judges! Not familiar with the others! Looks like a great pannel though!
Matt Huth is the director at Waukee.
Laura Fog used to be at Regis MS here in CR. They were really strong under her. Don't know where she is now.
Anita Cracauer is a well-known arranger. She also adjudicates frequently.
I believe Sarah Van Waardhuizen is at Johnston, but don't hold me to that.
One more note, It is nice to see Dowlings, Urbandale, and Valley all compete together! The top three could easily be any combination of these three schools! Good luck to all

Emmetsburg is -- and always will be -- one of my favorite competitions each year. Though I probably will not make it back this year, I must say that this lineup is fantastic! One of the best 4A fields I think this competition has seen in some time if not ever. Throw on a solid 3A, Prep, and small-classes fields. Going to once again be a top notch competition! (To which Mr. Fog and his E-Hawk students/parents get the credit.. one of the best run competitions a person could ever attend or be a part of).
If you're around northern Iowa, southern Minnesota, or even a bit further but are up for a little trip, I definitely recommend attending Emmetsburg. The people are always ridiculously nice and the food is spectacular (which we ALL know is the most important part, right?).
Looks like the lineup is locked in. A huge day at Emmetsburg!! Performance schedule to follow:
