One any better than the other?
Los Al for vocals, Wheaton for choreo. Los Al for costumes, Wheaton for making you feel good. They offer the perfect textbook comparison of the difference between Midwestern and California styles.
Apparently mice are now show choir fans. A mouse ran out onto the front and center of the stage during Findlay's first song, and remained there the entire show. Mesmerized, no doubt.

Brea hadn't gone yet when I posted. Having seen them, Cali girls will definitely be one and two. I give Los Al the edge.
Ohhh, I didn't realize you were there in person watching the shows when you posted that! I definitely agree with you, those two are the ones to beat.
You think? I mean, I can definitely see Sound Trax taking first place, especially considering their win over JB Sound Sensations and their sweep at the JB Music Showcase. That's definitely impressive since Burroughs' girls are spectacular every year. However, Brea Spellbound is very talented as well. Spellbound is also undefeated on the year including a victory over Sound Trax at the Hollywood qualifier. Sure, both groups have improved and changed a lot since the beginning of March, but still. I'm just hesitant to say any group will win "hands down" with the strong and diverse caliber of single-gender choirs. But who knows, Los Al is legit.
