I can believe a judge would have kennedy or even muscatine in first place! They both gave amazing performances and they deserved it just as much as we did but thats not the way the judges scored it that night. I don't believe a judge purposely made sure we got one 2nd place because I don't believe any one of them would less their integrity just for that.
For those of you thinking that one judge was just crazy for having Kennedy in first because they were 38 points behind, most judges know that their points will be converted to rankings and score based on that information. For example I know of a few judges (none at this competition) who decide who is first and score them 10s in everything and 2nd would get 9s in everything and so on.
I had a blast yesterday! There were so many great groups there that honestly I had no idea how finals were going to go! Thanks to Davenport West and Central for hosting such an awesome competition, it was a nice return back after our 7 year hiatus Other results are as follows:
Best Male Soloist: CR Kennedy
Best Female Soloist: Muscatine
I just want to say congratulations to Cedar Rapids Kennedy "Happiness Inc." for giving 2 amazing performances and giving us a great run for our money! You helped us prove that Cedar Rapids is the powerhouse of show choir! P.S. I saw Kennedy's night show and you guys absolutely killed it yesterday!
Seems like it was an amazing competition so sad we couldn't come I was so excited to go this weekend I mean getting to see all these great groups and meet up with our muscatine friends but weather is unpredictable, just wish I could of been there to see it all
i feel like i knew that thinking about it now... o well you guys really know what you're doing when it comes to story shows and it shows on stage! A great day of show choir! im still a bit upset that waconia couldnt make it...
i heard a lot of hype about muscatine and it was well deserved their vocals were stellar except diction in some areas of their show! i'm happy that groups are trying the story shows this year and there are a few that are really pulling it off well and muscatine is one of them. thuroughly enjoyed their show! congrats to them on the 3rd tonight, i personally thought you were our main competition after watching you in the prelims
