We have been notified of a computer error in the small mixed division. Norwell Knight Moves placed 3rd and Churubusco New Era placed 2nd. Thanks to Carroll for a great day and congratulations to all the groups!
Also can anyone from Carroll, or who was otherwise in attendance, confirm whether Crestview "Knight Vision" ended up attending this contest? They were not announced in the small mixed best performer line-up, although I'm not sure if that's because they didn't attend or perhaps they had to leave early due to bad weather. Clarification there would be helpful!
Nice to see Norwell get 2nd. Was a bit stunned when they placed 5th at Fishers considering they were a crowd favorite and their set was incredibly fun/unique with great solos.
