Great start to the season by Onalaska, both groups. Hilltoppers for their sweep and Express for their first appearance on the rankings. Great start for several other groups as well. Can't wait to see how the averages shape up after the first few competitions.
By the way, does anyone have the info for prep groups? I would like to start ranking Prep as well as Open class.
Janaury 9th is an early date for some groups. I know for a fact if a few groups I have worked with competed on this date, they might not make finals at all. A lot happens in these 2-3 weeks... they are crucial for some show choir's growth. Maybe Mayville wasn't quite firing on all cylinders yet. It happens to many groups early on.
Finalists: Onalaska Prep, De Pere, North Saint Paul, Chi-High, Onalaska, Eau Claire Memorial, Mayville, Monona Grove
Is this performance order? Or do we know performance order?
Also was the plan to take 8 finalists? That's a lot.
edit: Apparently a score sheet was misplaced which resulted in the addition of an extra choir to finals.
Finalists: Onalaska Prep, De Pere, North Saint Paul, Chi-High, Onalaska, Eau Claire Memorial, Mayville, Monona Grove
