Maybe im biased, but i tihnk Findlay will win this one..Fairfield will win best combo but findlys vocals and choer. are jsut amazing...Andy Haines, what else is there to say... Good luck FFE....
This one is interesting because there are a lot of variables. Like someone mentioned director changes, budget cuts, new choreographers, etc. I love Northrop's invitational, but last year the judging for the mixed groups was a little unusual, so that makes it even harder to predict.
I will guess
1. Findley
2. Fairfield
3. Dekalb
4. Norwell
5. Homestead
6. Columbia City/ Cory-Rawson/ B Lures depends on judges and who is most prepared.
I am always impressed by Findlay and Fairfield. All 4 of my years in show choir and they have always been top contenders. The other 4 spots will be interesting. Dekalb has slowly gotten worse since their '06 seniors left and Norwell and Luers have been getting better and better each year. Homestead has been really good in the past but with a new director it will be interesting to see what he adds to the program.

is it still split up into small div. and large div.???
It's small division and large division, but any mixed group is eligible for finals.
The only difference is that there are also small division awards in the daytime.
GC: Findlay (BV)
1RU: Dekalb (BC)
2RU: Fairfield (BB)
3RU: Homestead / Norwell
4RU: Homestead Norwell
5RU: Luers / Cory-Rawson / Hamilton / Columbia City
I think we learned last year at the Classique that no group is a definite finalist. With that being said, I think the bottom three spots are really anyone's to take. Usually Homestead and Norwell would be a sure thing, but this being both of their first competition who's to say?
I actually wouldn't count any of the groups out of that last spot, I honestly believe it could go to anyone. Those groups are just ones that have placed well at the Classique before.
So we found out who gets to host who and what better then to have the people i have been talking to in this forum CORY-RAWSON woot haha. My friend you had last year Serria, has findlay this year the only predicted group on her so far but, definitley we will deck the room!
Holy cow food already that like super yummy right speaking of food haha after we got done with practice today i was hungry so i heated up something made it TOO HOT. so i was like ok ok stick in the freezer for a little bit to let it cool. .......welll haha i left it in there and forgot to the point it was frozen so i threw it away haha. anyways go classique! woot
