I was hoping Kennedy would improve from what i'd seen at Mo Show, so either they did or these groups stepped it up. Way to go Buffalo Grove, glad to see you're back on the winning side of things!
Let me just say that this is a big competition! At these events< you cannot underestimate any group in attendance!
Please do not underestimate Pascagoula Impact. They are not as big as some other groups, they compete in the 32 and under around here, but they are very, very good! They always place consitantly in the top 3 or 4 wheveer they go.
Northeast Jones has gotten better each and every week.
Good Luck to Pascagoula and Northeast Jones... Represent the South well!
