Here are my thoughts about this... Oak Grove does very well once they are in finals. Their prelims performances are just barely enough to get by most of the time, but at a comp like this their is no room for that.
Jenks always turns out to be REALLY good.
Madison Central has just been getting better and better and better. At every comp their show just becomes unimaginably better, and I know that they have been working their butts off for this one soooo yeah their is my incredibly biased opinion!
Having seen Los Al and Burroughs last weekend, I got Los Al over Burroughs. And I hope someone gives an award to Miss Patterson at South Jones. She will bring the Ryman down with their ballad.
GC: Los Al

2RU: Decatur

5RU: South Jones
I know they haven't competed yet, so no one really knows what they'll look like, and they have a REALLY early time slot but going off the past couple years, I'd have to put Jenks in my finals predictions. They were very solid last year. Otherwise I'd say those are solid predictions.
I saw a video on youtube from their performance back at Gretna earlier in the season before it got deleted, and it honestly was a whole different show choir. Their vocals were very crisp, but they lacked in choreography. I'll have better knowledge of them after seeing them at Waconia this upcoming weekend though.
Ankeny High School split into two seperate high school. Ankeny Centennial was the new school formed. Their show choir has the old Visual Adrenaline director and April James is their choreographer. Visual Adrenaline lost their director, their choreographer and half of their group.
I am so ready to go to Nashville!!! I need to be in warm(er) weather!!! Sorry to those of you from CA and down South, who probably have no idea why I feel this way
I heard a rumor that Poca "Visual Volume" is attending. Is this true?
Not sure, but Poca is going to Nashville for the Belmont University competition this weekend.
