Goods: The people were nice, food was good, good night MC, nice trophies.
NotsoGoods: The hosts weren't informed, the school wasn't "ready" for us when we arrived...at 11am, the school was a sauna, the first group started 30 min. late, the stage only had 1 set of small stairs gong up to it, the stage was slippery (I saw 2 people fall).
Honestly, it was a fun competition but it had it's flaws. I don't see why they couldn't have accommodated both our groups better...it would have helped with more time between Cstage and NSE so the band could relax and Cstage crew members could change into their NSE attire.

Wow thanks! And I don't get why both our groups have to perform semi-close to each other and why we are so far up in the schedule. Must be random scheduling.

I recall this used to be a fairly large scale competition(from what i remember i was in Middle School at the time) when Alan Chapman used be the director of Fort Madison. I think it has subsided a bit since then.
