I wanted to tell you all that I had an amazing time for the time I was there and got to hang out with people .. I did write down some stuff for Fairfield, Lafayette Jeff, and Southwestern .. but I had to leave after that " border="0" alt="ermm.gif" />
By the way .. I have to make this compliment .. there is a girl from Fairfield, she's black and she's always in the front row normally in the center, she had a solo I think in the closer .. what an amazing performer!! Major props to her, I couldn't keep my eyes off of her she was so entertaining ...
Anyways - I LOVE YOU ALL! I'm so sad that the season is pretty much over .. ::sniff::sniff::
I agree with caseman. I didn't like the way it was set up either. I wish there had been prelims, and finals cause i like to see the groups twice. But what can you do without air conditioning?!?!?!

Fan yourself.
You know...I bet they could've made money selling fans...

Now that I've successfully gotten us " border="0" alt="offtopic.gif" /> (my devious plan all along (heh heh)), who thought what about Edgewood's comp?

Congratulations!!!!!! LOL i thought it was ok i just did not like the way it was set up but that was not their fault i also did not think the awards were ever going to happen!!!! LOL
Correct me if i am wrong but i think this happens a lot and i know from my point of view when we have be judged by our choreographer they seem to be the hardest on us because they know what the moves are supposed to be. right? we all have opinions dont be sorry just dont get mad when someone expresses theres.

Just because it is commonplace doesn't make it right. A choreographer knows what the moves are supposed to look like. He also knows that his reputation is staked on the performance of his groups. He also knows that he is being paid by this group and if he judges them poorly, he could be out some big bucks.
No one should place themselves in this position, and I believe that if they do, they deserve any questioning directed their way.
Yes Kyene, I was at Edgewood. And yes, I saw every group.
Concerning adjudicating...when you pay one of the judges that is judging you...that is a conflict of interest. No matter how impartial someone says they are, it is completely unethical and taints the results beyond compare. And the group can take measures to avoid this situation completely. I know my group, the Encores did. The very reason we went to this competition in question was because our former director was slotted to judge the competition we were going to attend. I don't see why other groups cannot take these measures. No, I don't blame the group members, and I never said I did. They had no control over the situation. Although, I do blame the choreographer and the director. Both could, and should have done something.
All I said about Southwestern's performance was that after watching all the groups, I thought they got the position they deserved. I'm not sure what being a small school has to do with it, but apparently they are. I'm not taking from their efforts, I never said they were bad. They have done very well this year. Like you said, this was a real tough competition. A lot of really stellar groups were there. I don't think that Southwestern is yet up to that level, but it sure seems they are on their way. Two GC's is an awesome year.
Thank you. I always enjoy the personal attacks. They are the most fun.
I have an opinion. Sorry to all of you.

Where you at Edgewood? This was a very tough competition from what I saw. And all the groups there brought their game. I realize you feel you should have won over Espirit at a competition but you didn't. Is that their fault? No. Did they judge themselves, furthermore does any group? No. You have taken it upon yourself to ridicule a group because of decisions made by qualifed people. You may not like the decision but those are the breaks.
Plus from what I have read, isn't this a small little school? They are in the class C division in Ohio. I feel you are trying to take away their efforts this year. And not one person has the right to do so.

I usually just read and don't post but today I feel the urge to respond. Let me say I am not a member of Espirit. I am upset regarding the tone and rehtoric of Josh. You are representing Pike ENCORE and I am taking back. I am sure other members of your group and your director would not be happy but again maybe they don't care.

I don't know you personally and you may be having a horrible day but you need to rethink your position/tone.
To Caseman, congrats on a successful season. It seems like you guys have worked real hard to get where you are. 20 years WOW! Kudos to all groups who have had success.
To all the groups at Edgewood, thanks for a tremendous showing and you all should be applauded!!
And to Josh, you just sound like a disgruntled show choir kid!

thank u so much!!!! yes we are a small school but we are from hanover IN...
You don't know how much I want to scream at you. And in due time, I will.
For now, I will say a few things. "Rember" is not a word, maybe you were going for "Remember." Because is because, not becasue.
"these coments should not reflect the entire group of ESPRIT they are mine and mine alone so if these coments offend anyome PM and we can work it out!!! i do not want anyone to not like us becasue of one comment one person for our group has made!!!" I'm sorry, but they do reflect your group. If you don't want anyone to not like you, don't say something that would invoke those feelings.
Consider this not finished.

I'm the one you tricked at Southwestern! I was with Wilda Young!
Ok first off i am a 3 year member of ESPRIT and out of the three years i have been in it and all the year i have watched show choir i have never felt this way. i feel that we as a group have pulled together through all the hard times we have had!! But we have never lost sight of the major goal we set for our group which was to win a grand champion at a show choir contest because in 20 years our group has never gotten one so we worked our ass of and we got it... it made ppl mad becasue they said we did not deserve it.... so that lead us to our second goal to prove to the ppl that we beat that we do in fact deserve it so we went to St. Clairsville and we bet those two groups again for a second grand champion. so in one year we got two grand champs!!!! but take this the wrong way i am not say that you should kiss our feet like ppl to clinton becasue we won 2 times. i am just sticking up for us because we do not perform at a 9th place level and we have not place that low since i have been in it... like i said i just think people are mad becasue we have beaten them this year ****cough**** ****PIKE***** ****cough**** and to shelbyville i love u all and i really like your show!!!!!
***** these coments should not reflect the entire group of ESPRIT they are mine and mine alone so if these coments offend anyome PM and we can work it out!!! i do not want anyone to not like us becasue of one comment one person for our group has made!!!
****ESPRIT**** i am a proud member!!!! i want to tell everyone of you i am proud of you for everything we did it was amazing. i know we could not have done it without 2 amazing directors.. REMBER ESPRIT 2005.... i love you all... ALL
