The scores were VERY close. New Castle finished second in both vocal and visual by a mere 8 tenths of a point, however this was enough to push us forward to win. It all depends on how it averages out between vocals and visuals. They could get a high vocal score but a low visual score and cause their score to be lower.
When Dekalb switched from tier 1 to tier 2 they added an additional group to make finals in the tier 2 category and took one away from the tier 1 category.
Just want to note that Castle took GC last week and didn't place top 4 here. What a tough competition. Indiana is so show choir dense that each week is a battle and you never know what will happen.
