WOW!!! This could be one of the longest competitions ever? everyone will be asleep by the time final awards are announced!
It's Los Alamitos all over again
It's going to be weird in like 20-25 years when all of the current directors start retiring and a new set of directors take over. Imagine how different groups are going to be then.
LOLLLLLL Considering I started watching show choir in the very early 90s, that has already happened to me!!!!!
Ughhhhh it's SOOOOO different!!!! Not saying that's necessarily a bad thing.... I just need to go watch some good old Carmel now.

Of course, we don't really know what Carmel's sound/visuals will look like this year. If they are very similar to previous years, then I TOTALLY agree with your statement. However, with Wheaton's former director and Dwight Jordan, I have a feeling this is not your mother's Carmel. (which is sad to an old-school guy like me!)
