***Opinion Area***

GC: Fairfield (BC, BB)
1RU: Kennedy (BV)
2RU: Albertville (Show)
3RU: Petal
4RU: Oak Mountain/Auburn
I edited this with the new information, and sorry about putting 2RU for Albertville. I meant 1RU, but I was thinking 2nd place!
I believe Mr. Thorne from Homewood HS is judging, but don't quote me on that.
He is judging the Middle School, Women's division, and soloist. The mixed groups/ Finals judges are
Dave Fher
Dave Moellenkamp? (Los Alamitos director, spell check)
April James
Krietzer?( Can't remember that guy. I wanna say maybe the director of Sullivan? Or Cedar Rapids Jefferson... Idk)
How long is everyone's bus rides? We have to leave Thursday at 2:15 AM
My guess for Fairfield would be about 5 and a half to 6 hours. I drove from Ohio to Tennessee a few summers ago and it was a little longer than that since I'm north of Fairfield, OH. However, I'm sure FF alumni/current members might remember from when they went in 2010 for a more exact time!

Pretty sure El Paso's will be about 7 to 8 hours since they are close to Pekin and it took us about that long to get there in 2010.
I don't know if you've seen Albertville and Auburn's shows this year, but Albertville's show kills Auburn. Enterprise results were a joke and you would understand if you would have seen both shows.
It's interesting that you would claim that your own competition was a joke. I'm sure Mr. Baker would love for you to come and discuss it with him.
