Can't wait!!!
Looking forward to NoCo2015 on February 28th next year! Already planning the decorations and trophies!
Can we look forward to a beach theme for next year? Maybe we'll have a shorter winter next year because obviously GE is the reason for all the snow we're getting
It was lovely to have all of our guests at NoCo- ho, ho, ho! Hopefully Santa brought everyone what they wanted, and we hope no one regifts the Rudolph and Santa trophies!!! Shout out to our favorite performer, Steven, from Coy Middle School and also the Marysville Middle School spaghetti and syrup eating team for owning spaghetti and syrup like we have never seen before (and hopefully ever again)!

It was the high school group... The only middle schools there were Marysville and Coy. It should be Euclid Varsity Chorale
That's been updated above. Apologies for the error!
Looks like it was a really fun day at NoCo! Congrats to all groups!
I just wanted to give a shout out to the Solon combo! Congrats on your win yesterday and your continued streak of best combo awards! You guys always sound so good and never fail to amaze me every time I watch your show! It's an awesome accomplishment to have such an awesome reputation as a top combo. Congratulations, again!
How does Tallmadge beat Wapakoneta in their class but not make it to finals?
We were really confused about that too. But we actually didn't beat them. They won class A, Alliance got 1st RU, and we got 2nd RU.
Hopefully this post actually goes through... It seems like no one does an actual comparison of groups anymore, so here it goes.
How I thought the competition went (with some input of others around me):
In daytime I thought Solon would have been in the lead. Marysville definitely did not have their best performance and although Solon could have been better as well, I thought it was better that Marysville. A few other alum / watchers thought that after daytime Solon would be ahead in Band and Choreo with Marysville ahead in Vocals.
In finals, Solon definitely improved vocally (had a tough time hearing / understanding them in daytime mainly guys and girls number) and it was a great performance that I really enjoyed. I love the opener and ballad especially. However, Marysville destroyed. Lightyears better than daytime and to me and those around me, it was clear that were going to win. The energy was incredible and the vocals were a lot better (blend and buildup sections mainly) and choreography was definitely more crisp.
So the only thing I had switches was Euclid and Wapakoneta.
Some other notes about groups:
Marysville: Holy crap. One of the best shows and performances I know I have ever seen. I'm so proud to be an alumni yet so jealous at the same time, haha. Shout out to Kaley (my sister) for being awesome.
Solon: The blonde soloist and the girls number, your solo is great, and you are great.
The TV's are still quite distracting I know not just to me. I see what you're trying to do (help tell a story) but it more takes away from the show itself.
Awesome show concept, and the outfits go well with it as well.
You guys have a great show and just because you lose does not mean your show is bad by any means. You should be proud of your performance.
Garfield Heights: I haven't seen you guys until tonight. I must say, I was very impressed. You guys are a joy to watch and have a really cool show! The only thing that bothered me was the fact that you did Irrational Anthem, with almost the exact same choreo that I did in 2012 at Marysville. But it was great nonetheless and I can't wait to see you guys keep improving in the future.
Wapakoneta: You guys were enjoyable to watch as well. You had some cool songs in your show and I especially love the closer "Dog Days are Over" and the soloist for that number was great. There were quite a few parts though in daytime where the intonation was off (ballad especially) that quite a few of those issues were fixed during finals which was great. Good show overall.
Euclid: I had you above Wapakoneta because I thought your vocals were more solid that Wapaks mainly. You guys had a good show and it was awesome getting to see you!
Alliance: It was awesome that you guys got to be in finals. I love it when groups are so happy to make it to finals. It makes me happy. Anyways, you had a solid show, vocals were decent with good blend and tone. Hope to see more from you guys.
I received a text from Wapak's director saying that someone had forgotten to add Wapak. And evidently they actually won their class. That's all the info I have though. Hope that clears things up!
If I'm not mistaken, I believe at Twinsburg Show is different from Show Concept. I believe Show Concept is just the overall theme will Show is things like Costumes, Transistions, Props, etc. So back to my original question: how is Tallmadge not in finals? Prior commitment?
The same reason Marysville is up .5 in show from Solon, yet Solon gets best show
