I would agree with this except Lewis Central did beat both Grand Island NW and Papillion LaVista in day round at Omaha Westside. I would put them in finals for sure!
GC: Ankeny
1RU: Omaha Westside
2RU: Grand Island Northwest
3RU: Lewis Central
4RU: Papillion LaVista
5RU: Pleasant Hill
Best Vocals: Omaha Westside
Best Choreography: Ankeny

I haven't seen either of Ankeny's groups, Pleasant Hill, Grand Island Senior, or Bishop Heelan. I also heard either Ralston or Gretna were really close to finals at Westside and I haven't seen either of them either. I think this is actually gonna be a really good competition!!!! Very excited!
really, i heard differently but yeah Papillion is missing a lot of kids due to sickness today
My predictions

2RU: Grand Island Northwest

I know that Lewis Corp will be there and Bishop Heelan will be there also. I don't know if all 3 of Bishop Heelan's groups will be there of if it's just Harmonia Mundi, I'm trying to get ahold of my friend and find out.
I keep asking for a schedule from someone but no one can give me one, glad to see Ankeny is attending. Competed against you guys at Midwest Cup last year (we weren't super good then) and loved your show. Hillside was great last year, and as always, Westside was amazing. As for other groups, I'm not sure, GISH has a great show but still needs a little cleaning. GINW has an awesome show and could easily be in the top in finals. The auditorium is pretty small but provides a great overall effect. Going to other schools (even letting it be known that I am very bias) the stage is probably one of the best performing stages and places you could sing and dance on out of many competitions. Good luck to all of you. I am going to be ushering for this so hopefully I don't have to bust anyone for illegally recording the groups in the audience! " border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

texas!? wow i havent ever seen a show choir from texas before are they good?
This is their 2nd year of competing i believe and their first year of being choreographed by Stephen Todd. Their director is a UNL graduate, Jen Randall, who has done show choir camp at UNL for the past two summers. They are improving and definitely have some potential.

3 ankeny groups and 3 westside groups will be there. As well as Papio, Grand Island NW, Grand Island Sr. High. Those are groups that ususally come to competitions like this. I also know a group from Keller, TExas is coming.

I am replying to myself...doh!!!!! That's a Homer if I ever heard one!!!
Just moving the thread up to try to get some info if anyone has it on this competition.
Also..what is the auditorium like at LSW?
And thanks for your support!!!
haha.. apparently i need to start logging out so other people don't post on my name.. oops.
Pleasant Hill will be there. We went last year....pretty fun competition.
But if the auditorium is full....they WILL NOT let anybody in.
you CANNOT sit on the floors...it got quite annoying, especially when you wanted to watch certain groups.
but overall fun competition....good luck Ankeny. you guys are always amazing!
Thanks for the info and also to the Westside poster above.
Folks at Ankeny rarely complain about the size of auditoriums..haha..if you had seen ours you would know why!!! But I know it's disappointing not to get to watch in person.
Hopefully in a few years that will be improved somewhat. But it's always fun to go to a new place
and meet new people.
VA got a good lesson at Johnston in the afternoon round last week...look for them to come out strong this
week whenever they are scheduled. We wlll have to see what the judges think this time. Good luck to all who are coming to
the Showdown. And since we are first time visitors, take it easy on us will you????

I know our director has seen the almost final schedule so I'm sure that it will be going out on monday or tuesday. I know ATSC is last to perform and its around 6pm. The auditorium is definitely unique. It's relatively small and in the afternoon most students will not be allowed in the auditorium to watch.
