First Runner Up
Best Band (Prelims)
Best Band (Finals)
Best Treble Soloist [Finals] (Leanne Telger)
Allen and Sandra Chapman Outstanding Director Award (Jeff Gemar)
Apparently they perform a few songs Thursday night of Show Choir Nationals that are part of their Spring show in May, then they do their competition show Saturday after finals.
GC: Los Al (BV) (BC) - as little as I understand their show, it would be ignorant to say that Los Al’s vocals and choreo are anything short of perfect. Despite that, I honestly don’t think that they have this GC in the bag, and anything can happen at nationals. Still, I would be very surprised to not see them taking home the GC with a show that is just so technically perfect.
1 RU: Auburn
2 RU: Hastings
3 RU: Petal
4 RU: Glenwood
5 RU: Findlay
Honorable mentions: Sioux City and Center Grove
I would’ve given reasoning for the rest of the finalists but I’m too tired and I don’t feel qualified to comment on most of their shows
My Finals Predictions are:
GC: Auburn BC
1RU: Los Al BV
2RU: Hastings
3RU: Findlay
4RU: Petal
5RU: Center Grove
Its so hard to make predictions for a comp like this where so many of these groups have had really successful seasons. Best of luck to all groups competing here this weekend!
Robert Allen usually posts Clinton's SCN performance. Or at least, he has for the past 5 years. They're typically great quality. You can find his channel here and cross your fingers that the trend continues.
For fun, I looked up the last time any of the groups competing did NOT make finals. I only listed those who have made finals at every competition this year. If the competition where they didn't make finals was particularly stacked, I listed it.
Sioux City East -2014
Hastings - 2004 (2006 has two comps with no data, so it could have been then, too)
Petal - 2018 (Heart of America Orlando)
El Paso-Gridley -2017
Auburn -2011
Findlay - 2011 (Finale Nationals)
Glenwood - 2013 (Wheaton Warrenville Sounth)
Peoria - 2018
Las Alamitos - 2008
Center Grove -2013 (Fame Show Choir Nationals)
I must say, I'm incredibly impressed with a group that does all-original music from start to finish - especially when the songs are GOOD and the performers are solid. That's fantastic.
