Excited to volunteer to help host this competition tomorrow. I will also be watching most of the day. Thanks to everyone planning on attending. It's going to be a great day of show choir!
Me and Jarod will be attending here for finals after coming from Muscatine. Excited to see Ankeny Centennial live for the first time ever! Last time I saw anything close to them live was Ankeny at CR Kennedy in 2013. Here are my predictions....

1RU: CR Washington
2RU: Totino-Grace
3RU: CR Kennedy
4RU: IC High (BB)

I could see Kennedy, Totino, and Washington being in any order. Should be a good finals round there tomorrow night!
This competition is going to be insane!! If we weren't competing down in Kansas City this is definitely where I'd be! Just with the predictions I've had to put in some serious thought.

I feel like even though there are four VERY strong groups competing, Centennial will still pull away at this one, even if its not by a large margin. The Cedar Rapids schools (Wash, Jeff, Kennedy) are all three bringing the heat this year with amazing shows. I've seen all three and they are all about at the same level so to put one ahead of the other was just random. I hate putting my friends from Totino all the way back at fourth because I've heard a few details about the show and it sounds stellar and they were awesome last year but the level of the CR schools to me, this year is going to be hard to beat. Even caption wise this ones tough, both Wash and City High have outstanding bands but I feel like Centennial just keeps getting better by the year. Good luck to all those competing!!
130 points.
