Keota was the only 1A group in attendance. HLV, Danville, New London, West Burlington, and Waterloo Columbus dropped out.
Oh, gotcha. Thanks! That makes sense.
Thanks Mrs. Augustine for all the captions and daytime placements! Was only first place in the 1A division announced? If not, does anyone have the full placements?

What a wonderful "small school" competition! And Adam is right, that name is perfect.
What I love about these "small school" competitions is that there is always such a special atmosphere in the place. You can just feel that the members on stage and their families in the audience really want to be, and love being, there. Not that huge competitions don't have people that want to/love being there, there's just something refreshing about going to a small school competition. It just makes you feel more at home. This is why I always love going to Hinton's competition over here in NW Iowa. This made more sense in my head before typing it. Haha!
Wish I was closer so I could attend. Good luck to every group, but a special good luck to Emmetsburg and Mr. Fog!
Awesome name for this invitational!
I most definitely added this event and put it together and all that, but just now got it since Adam pointed it out. I think I'm a zombie sometimes and mindlessly enter information on here.
