Sorry about the question marks, i just for the life of me forgot who won those captions. I know it wasn't LC and it was like all different schools.
Everyone performed extremely well, and this competition was a lot of fun. Thanks Bishop Luers for being great hosts too.
All I know is that Poca got 2nd. I'm pretty sure Lawrence Central got GC
So Manteno in 3rd then I would believe. But I could be wrong. Anyone have official results?
The change in the schedule involves: Garrett High School has graciously changed to 8:30am to help Chesterton Girls out. North side High School is scheduled for 3:00pm because they are hosting at their high school, sectionals for speech.
The middle school finals were: Memorial Park - Grand Champ
Woodside middle school-1st runner-up
Miami middle school-2nd runner-up
St. Joe/St. Elizabeth elementary- 3rd runner-up
Congratulations! Fort Wayne is blessed with many talented young men and women!
I feel like the prediction posted is spot on so I won't be posting any predictions for this comp haha. I'm very excited for this competition. It's always a blast competiting at our sister school!
You might be pleasantly surprised by Manteno! They've been a terrific group all year and this has been one of the best shows I've ever seen them pull off! Good luck to everyone!
That would be wonderful. thank you, also could you post the middle school schedule? I'm going to be adding the schools for the event page soon, and would like to have the right order.
There is a change in the schedule posted. North side high school will be competing in the afternoon because of a school conflict. I will try to get it online tomorrow. We are also hosting a middle school competition on Friday night beginning at 6:00pm.
Should be a sweep for LC, I really enjoy their show this year, and their vocals are fantastic as usual. their choreo was very clean even at Pike, so I'd assume they've only gotten cleaner.
I'll go with:
GC: Lawrence Central
1RU:Manteno
2RU: Chesterton
3RU: Bishop Dwenger
4RU: Anderson
I LOVE THIS PREDICTION lol *biased* I have not heard of Manteno *goes to youtube* i may change and place Anderson higher (they've combined schools and i know they have incredible singers)
