I would just assume Best Vocals went to Norris, just simply because that has always been their forte, and if they won likely it's because they straight up outsung everyone.
To me it looks like the scoring error at Monona Grove in 05. Most likely they just forgot to look at Class A to put Norris in finals, just as MG forgot to put Brodhead in when they won the small-division. This is just an assumption though.
Looks like a fun year for Nebraska! Congrats to all the groups!
Going into finals it was:
Norris first in A.
And then I think AA was:
1st Ralston
2nd Millard North
3rd Elkhorn South
4th GISH
5th Washington
6th Lewis Central
I think The order of performance in finals ended up being:
Ralston
Lewis Central
Elkhorn South
Millard North
GISH
Washington
Norris
Best Male Soloist went to Ralston.
Best Female Soloist went to Elkhorn South.
And apparently, Ralston was one point away from 3rd ! And Elkhorn South was one point away from 2nd ! That means it was CLOSE. It must have come down to the littlest of mistakes.
Great job to everyone! Saw some amazing shows and talent here! Congrats to all. (:
Final Results:
6th RU: Washington
5th RU: Grand Island Senior
4th RU: Lewis Central
3rd RU: Ralston
2nd RU: Elkhorn South
1st RU: Millard North
GC: Norris
GC. Ralston
1RU. Elkhorn South
2RU. Norris
3RU. Millard North
4RU. GISH
5RU. Gretna
-As always, it could really go either way. Ralston beat Elkhorn South last saturday, but they were really good, so it must have been close and it they could give them a figh for GC.
Norris did well at Midwest Cup beating over groups like GISH, GINW, and Millard West to make finals, so i expect them to do well and maybe even battle it out with Ralston and Elk. South in the top 3 spots.
Millard North has a pretty solid show and i expect them to do well. GISH did great last year. and Gretna has a good show too. I could see Lewis Central and Elkhorn making it too.
