Everyone at this competition knows that the best group did not win. Everyone at this competition also knows that the best group did not finish second. The best group finished third. The show choir of Davenport West was clearly the best at providing audience enjoyment. When you strip away the hydraulic lifts, costume changes, and props, show choir boils down to having fun and getting the audience to have fun. Davenport West did this the best by far. When GCS was on stage the majority of people having fun was the folks from LaCrosse. When the Ambassadors were on stage the majority of folks having fun were the Cedar Rapidians. When Davenport was on stage, everyone had fun. Davenport West deserved to win that competition because they were so much fun to watch and we in the PHS band commend them on a job very well done.

Edited due to poor wording that was upsetting people. There was a misunderstanding of my intention and a further post reveals this. I apologize for the earlier poor wording.

Could the 2RU possibly be Davenport West "West Connection", and the 1RU be the "Ambassadors" from Cedar Rapids Prairie? I'm 100% certain that I watched Happiness perform at their own invite today.



OMG!!!! Of course it was! " border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

I'm dumb!

No longer will I have more than one tab open and try to multitask!!!!

GAAAAAAH!!

Sorry. " border="0" alt="sweating.gif" />

Not that anyone is probably going to care but just throwing it out that Linn-Mar Excelsior Double Time won the Middle School Competition. It was very exciting as far as I know and my cousin who is in the group this is the first time they have won. Congrats to them and all other participating groups.

If you mean not received Grand Champion then that would have been at Monona Grove with I believe a 2RU behind Cedar Rapids' Prairie and Jefferson High Schools.

2RU-- Davenport North "Northside Establishment" (sorry I missed yall earlier... " border="0" alt="ermm.gif" /> blame Adam? " border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> )
1RU-- Cedar Rapids Kennedy "Happiness"


Could the 2RU possibly be Davenport West "West Connection", and the 1RU be the "Ambassadors" from Cedar Rapids Prairie? I'm 100% certain that I watched Happiness perform at their own invite today.
