Whelp, i was obviously wrong about the prep group thing... lol. But yeah, i really can't wiat to see dav. central, ithink it is very possible that they will end up better than third, i loved their show last year, maybe even more than i loved urbandales...

hmm... I have more faith in Lewis Central than that, but Urbandale vs TG for the Grand Champion should be an excellent showing, both are awesome, yet completely contrast each other
And yeah, your right, i forgot about them. they should be in there, around 4th, i think, and move both iowa cities back one.

I'd even throw Dav. Central into the mix to perhaps surprise some folks (even better than just third?). Coming off a successful 2005 season, now with their new director Michael Reese and working with Andy Haines? I don't know what to expect - but I know I gotta see Central this year!
Prediction for finals? here are mine, based more off of last year than anything cause thats all i know.
1st - Totino Grace
2nd - Urbandale
3rd - Dav. Central
4th - Iowa City High
5th - Iowa City West
6th - Urbandale Vitality
Assuming that the top prep group will go to finals along with the top 5 from the varsity groups. note, i dont actually know that that is how finals will work here.

I don't think preps get to make finals. (Maybe if their score is high enough, but, none did last year.)
I can't even begin to list finalists... the only two I am confident on are Totino Grace and Urbandale. With the odd time slots... I couldn't say much more.

Just pray for no snow! Ugh - can you imagine 2 years in a row?!?
But that's quite the line up - I've been out of the loop, I had no idea they were able to gather such a great group of competitors. That auditorium is going to be very, very crowded...
Anyone on here from Johnston that could let us know what the correct times are? If the end of the day follows the rest of the schedule, then awards won't start until 6:45 or something.
There's SO many groups going! This will be a really fun comp.
