Predictions:
GC: Clinton (issa sweep)
1st runner up: Broken Arrow
2nd runner up: West Jones
3rd runner up: Northeast Jones
4th runner up: Jackson Prep
Prep is being robbed this year... 4peat is that you this weekend...maybe?
Maybe? Maybe not? 1st runner up-4th runner up going to be a toss up, but no matter what Clinton is going to do a clean sweep.
Depending on the judges Northwest Rankin could possibly make it into finals... We shall see Saturday good luck to everyone competing!!!
I don't think Prep is necessarily being "robbed," I just think the level of competition in the South is growing. Plus, judging is subjective. JA beat Prep at Opelika and just a week later, Prep made finals and JA did not. Doesn't mean either group got robbed, it just shows how good everybody is and how judges look for different things at each competition. I do have a feeling though that Prep will get better than 5th place at Petal simply because I'm sure they're working their butts off right now to finish their season on a high note.
Predictions:
GC: Clinton (sweep)
1RU: Broken Arrow
2RU: NW Rankin
3RU: Jackson Prep
4RU: West Jones
I plan to be there this Saturday and excited to see Broken Arrow for the first time. I’m much a fan of Northwest Rankin’s show this year—they have incredible vocals. Also looking forward to seeing Clinton live.
Predictions Mixed GC: Clinton (Sweep) 1RU: West Jones 2RU: Broken Arrow 3RU: Northwest Rankin 4RU: Jackson Prep
I could see NWR climbing up to 2nd (really 2nd-4th is a toss up), their show this year is really something else.
It's going to be interesting to see who makes finals here. Lots of strong middle mixed groups, plus four solid large groups (so exciting that Broken Arrow will be coming all way from Oklahoma!). There are also a few women's groups that could potentially make it into finals (PRC girls beat their mixed group last weekend). This will be an exciting competition!
Also fun fact: Broken Arrow is the birthplace of Kristin Chenoweth!
Northwest Rankin put on an amazing show at JA, taking the best choreography caption and beating several large groups. I expect them to do well here. Any word on who all will be competing here?
