Winfield has stopped going to States. The last time I remember them being there was...2005 perhaps? They were typically a top three contender all the years I competed against them, placing 2nd in 2003. I know for a while, they were attending the Ohio Valley Competition instead but I'm not sure why they actually stopped going. GASax?
As far as if ARTS is eligible, I'm not really sure. They're going to Showstoppers-Orlando this year which is held the same weekend as States. I'm not sure if ARTS is part of the WVMEA or the WV Vocal Association, and if not, I'm not sure what the rules are regarding if they are permitted to compete.
Does anyone know the company that did States in 2004? Or have a copy that you could rip for me or even upload to Youtube? I know Hurricane is posted, so someone out there has one. I'm interested in Winfield and Capital mainly, but I'd like to have a hard copy of the whole day. I'm willing to pay for anyone that is willing to do that for me...
