That's not COMPLETELY true, Ty...we don't like the idea of a SITTING show choir song. The idea is that we can dance AND sing. If you want to just stand, perform as a concert choir. I think that maybe if Wahlert ever really did a true ballad, there's no way it would be sitting, or at least not very long.

...Elaborate, fiend. Why can't our choir believe that sitting and singing isn't necessary? Our choir is a team, and WE believe what WE believe.


I don't think a ballad is necessary, however a ballad is traditionally expected in a show choir performance.

Just My Opinion.

A. it wasn't bitterness. It was thinly veiled sarcasm.

B. As soon as I find a choir who thinks sitting and singing is NECESSARY, I'll send them your way so their philosophy can be corrected.

C. Fiend? Really?

If it was a real question, then yes...that's what we believe.


It's sad that you can use the word "we" in your post. I suppose 95% of show choirs should just cease to exist and stick to being concert choirs. I'll spread the word to directors.

Thank you to everyone at Fort Atkinson. This was an extremely well run competition. From our room hosts to the parent volunteers to the backstage dads to the facilities to the food to all of the amazing groups. All were top notch. I would recommend this competition to anyone.

Congratulations to all groups on a great day but especially to Wahlert. I am really looking forward to seeing your show this weekend at Star Power in Waconia.

Thanks to Craig Engstrom for such a great day.

Because you don't have to stand still to sing well, right?

Finals Results

Finals were scored using the same sheets as the day. These scores were turned into rankings for each individual judge. Each ranking was then assigned points:

1st = 21, 2nd = 19, 3rd = 16, 4th = 14, 5th = 11, 6th = 9

Judges (in order): Tim Brown, Jeff Gemar, Michael Reese, Gary Walth

Wahlert – 2,1,1,1 = 82
Milton – 1,2,2,2 = 78
Mundelein – 4,3,4,4 = 58
Waconia – 5,4,3,3 = 57
Brodhead – 3,5,5,5(tie) = 48
Janesville Craig – 6,6,6,5(tie) = 37

As some Spotlighters have already said, we had a blast in Fort Atkinson! Our hosts were really cool, and everyone was very accomodating. Thanks Fort, and we'll see ya in Brodhead!

I never remember the names of the choirs or who does the show...but the show choir that did Black Parade as the opener and I will Follow You Into the Dark as a ballad was my personal favorite...was that Janesville? I was too excited to concentrate on the names of groups!


HEY that was us... aww you like it.. THANKS... it is alot of fun!!!

I loved this one ballad, and silly me i can't remember what it was called... or which choir sang it!! But i think they went fifth or sixth in finals... i would venture to guess Mundelein? Well it was really pretty!


The ballads from finals that I can remember are:
Milton: You Inspire Me
Brodhead: I'll Follow You Into the Dark
Craig: Everything That I Am
sorry, I can't remember Mundelein, or Wahlert

I do have to be honest, I thought that Brodhead would have placed higher at finals. I really like their show a lot. They are chuck FULL of energy.


SinisterNights how do you think final placings should have gone?

Hey Jam Session, your band is tight! Congrats on Best Combo.
