The 2020 New England circuit is the best it's ever been. First place is going to be a huge toss-up and placements will be very close. I currently think it will either be Waltham, Shepherd Hill, Brandon, or Homestead.
Waltham is looking PRIME this year. They're choreographed by Jarad and Tori again, and this year, they look comparable to By Request. They've also already seized Best Vocals this year, and took Best Vocals from Mt. Zion last year. Choreography is energetic, dynamic, and very clean. Band is also phenomenal.
Shepherd Hill sounds the best they've ever sounded. They finally have mastered blending, and their dynamics are phenomenal. They KILLED IT at Loveland Showfest a few weeks back, and several judges had them in 1st place for vocals. They took 4th in finals overall in a very tight race. Choreography is also looking stellar. They will be a huge contender for 1st place as well.
I am not totally familiar with Brio, but from what I've seen on youtube, they will also be a top contender for 1st place. Classic GOOD Southern show choir and I believe that they will kill it.
The wildcard will be Class Royale. Midwestern show choirs are received very well when they compete in the New England region. Depending on how these groups perform, Class Royale may also emerge victorious. Great choreography as always.
I am equally as impressed with the extreme improvement of every other show choir in the circuit. Lowell has improved exponentially over the past few years, and Somerset is in the middle of a great season too. Andover and South Windsor are sure to impress with their energetic shows, and Encore! ALWAYS delivers a memorable and entertaining show.
This is looking like the premier New England show choir competition this year!
I accidentally disliked this butttt I love the thought out list, thank you!! Also, I am so glad your significant other will get to see this competition! It will be a good one
I'm bringing my significant other to the nighttime portion of this competition and they're experiencing show choir for the first time!!! I'm so excited!!! Daniel Hand's competition never ever disappoints.
Top five as the lowest and a win as the highest. Most of these groups have had a month to improve when Daniel Hand happens so it really can be anyone’s game
