that could work but it would be way to last minute and not to mention expensive.
I don't know if it's this way for every group, but I would imagine most groups who attend FAME events have it worked in their budget to attend the finals in Chicago, assuming they place well in a given qualifier.
This is an exciting announcement! The FAME Orlando competition will be webcast for free for anyone that would like to see it. To get the live stream go to www.showchoirs.org on Saturday. We wish all the competing groups the best this weekend!
Clinton's choreography this year is sharp and super intense as always but could see someone stealing best vocals from them. Their vocals this year at least at homewood didn't sound as full as past years but none the less were beautiful and full of diction and energy. Like many have said this year in the south, competitions are getting closer everyone is super good now I can't predict how this competition will go. but judging by politics without a doubt Clinton sweeps but if there is a fair panel then who knows how this competition could go.
They should just invite all these choirs to Chicago to make up for the lack of depth at some other competitions

I haven't seen all of these shows this year, but ATSC has stellar vocals (as always), and Clinton can dance everyone off the stage. I am also just really rooting for Nebraska to represent at this INSANE competition.
I feel like this is too good and too deep of a competition for one group to take more than one caption let alone a sweep, but then again I'm probably wrong and being dumb
No matter what happens, these groups should all be proud of what they've done all season long (if this is their last competition or not). What incredible talent from some incredible groups. I wish I could be there to support some of my best friends still in the Swingers Unlimited, but I will be supporting them in spirit from afar.
I hope every student competing gives it their all out on the stage and leaves Orlando regretting nothing, no matter the outcome. Best of luck to everyone.
Okay--every week, this lineup has gotten deeper:
Representative groups from the West, Midwest, and the South.
17 GC's between the mixed groups in this season alone (accepting Hart's Tier 2 wins).
14 BC awards between the mixed groups this year.
11 BV awards between the mixed groups this year.
5 BB (band) awards between the mixed groups this year.
4 Show Design/OE awards between the mixed groups this year.
All 6 groups received at least 2 GC's this season.
5 of the groups have gotten no less than 1RU all season.
All 6 groups were GC of their last competitions.
5 of the groups are on a win streak of 2 or more.
2 groups are on a win streak of 4 or more (Marysville--4, Clinton--5).
ATSC's only loss is to an undefeated Johnston.
Marysville's only loss is to Solon early in the season.
Ankeny Centennial's only losses are to Johnston and Waukee early in the season.
Clinton has received BV and BC at their past 5 competitions (including undefeated last year).
Clinton has not lost BC in their past 12 competitions (last loss of BC to WWS in 2011).
Needless to say, this is quite possibly one of the (if not THE) deepest show choir competition this season. It's going to be CRAZY--and (as we saw from FAME NY), I bet there will be a live stream. Now how do the judges pick a top 3, let alone a wildcard out of the remaining 3?
Okay, I gotta make some predictions (and don't crucify me for them!)--
GC: Clinton (Visuals, Show Design, Band)
1RU: ATSC (Vocals)
2RU: Marysville
3RU: Ankeny Centennial (Wildcard)
4RU: Brea Olinda
5RU: Hart
