I am not surprised. Reveille's competition record does not do the group justice (and their previous low placements have shocked audiences across the south). Way to go Madison Central!!! You deserved this one!
Oh wow I didn't even notice how early this was. I'm glad they didn't have these times last year or else our group wouldn't have been able to perform due to weather. We probably arrived in NYC like 11 that morning instead of the night before as planned.
9:00am - Uniondale High School Rhythm of the Knight
9:40am - Tarpon Springs High School Syndicated Sound
10:20am - Madison Central High School Reveille
11:00am - Marian University Knight Fusion Singers (Host Group)
11:30am - AWARDS PRESENTATION
The three group lineup makes me cringe but at least it's something and not a cancellation....
Apparently the event location switch from Jazz at Lincoln Center to the David Geffen Hall, and the time switch (to earlier morning hours) DID end up discouraging other groups from attending after all.

Oh no :/ that's a bummer!
Two comps cancelled, and one change of venue for FAME so far this year...

The attendance list of groups is available on the FAME website. These events are still accepting groups, and so far, FAME New York has:
Madison Central Reveille
Tantasqua Radiance
Tarpon Springs Syndicated Sound
Hosted by: Marion University Knight Fusion Singers
Shepherd Hill Fantasy will be attending as well, we are just waiting to submit funds from people as this was an un-anticipated event for us. We're so excited!.
This will be the discussion topic for the first qualifier of the Show Choir National Championship Series at FAME New York. FAME is expected to release attendees at any time.
