Congrats and a huge thank you to Chad and his great team for putting this invitational together. The Davenport North contingency had a great time and wanted to congratulate all of the choirs and show choirs that were here! Well done all!!!
5 excellent choirs in finals from 5 very different states. I don't know much about this competition, but it seemed really REALLY cool! I hope all the students had a terrific time!
If folks could fill in some of the daytime/other division type stuff as well as maybe any captions that would be cool.
ALA - EVOLUTION from Spanish Fork Utah arrives today and is performing tonight on a combined concert with our HOST GROUP, Hillside Singers in Pleasant Hill tonight at 7pm, come check out both these groups in a "sneak peak" before this weekend!
I have called the number and tried to find out what the cost for this event is and no one can tell me what it is. So I will ask here and see if someone could please tell me.
We are so looking forward to welcoming groups from Utah, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa, New Mexico, and Missouri to Kansas City this weekend.... it's going to be a GREAT event! Groups arrive beginning Thursday
This is an interesting schedule order! I think it'll shake up finals because most of these choirs won't be used to a 7-10 hour break between performances! Good groups too! Kinda surprised Ralston isn't doing Championship Division. Very interesting competition!
This WILL be quite interesting! Many groups that don't travel often, if at all. And all ranked fairly close.
