thank you. yea we really stepped it up in finals. prelims were kinda rough. i was kinda shocked when i heard the results but i think we did a great job and i know enterprise and the other groups were great too
oh we are! this years show is 100% better than last year!
I believe that the girl show choir the Enterprise Esprit done a great job. Its has them coming in 4th runner-up in the championship round but they got 3rd runner-up. Auburn Elan got 4th. The Esprits are going to be a all girl choir to watch.
Well, I'm going to throw this out there. Maybe it'll come in bits and pieces...
Who knows any and/or all of the following?
Small mixed results
Women's results
Festival results
Choreographers for Enterprise (mixed), Opelika (mixed), South Jones, Oak Mountain (mixed & girls & boys), Prattville, Vestavia, Spain Park, Brookwood, Benjamin Russell (mixed), Graceville
Director/Choreographer for Enterprise (girls), Eufaula, Benjamin Russell (girls), Opelika (girls)
Women's division:
Enterprise "Esprit" First place, with best show design,
Auburn "Elan" Second place, with best vocals, and best soloist within a show...
(going downhill from here...I'm trying my best to recall the order)
Opelika "Impressions" 3rd
Oak Mountain "Chanter" 4th
I believe that Enterprise is better than last year, not that last years group wasn't good cause they were! But the smaller number of people is the difference for me!
South Jones "Company" is choreographed by Jonathan McKenzie and Linda McEachran.
Also, a few corrections for the Results section of the Event Page of this competition:
-Enterprise "Encores" was the recipient of the Best Visual caption (equivalent of Best Choreography, if the database so requires you to specify), NOT South Jones.
-Albertville "CenterStage!" did not attend this competition.
Well, I'm going to throw this out there. Maybe it'll come in bits and pieces...

So now, I'm more excited than ever to see South Jones, Opelika, and Enterprise. Especially "Encore" because yall are making them out to be improved from last year.
Thanks!
And yes, Congrats to EVERYONE!
i'm proud of all ya'll, especially south jones,

From what I've heard, McEachran choreographed for South again this year. While her stuff is great, I felt South lost a bit of its signature style by Mr. McKensie not choreographing the whole show. It didn't feel like a true South Jones show. His stuff for South is amazing.
Well on the choreo issue, for one thing Linda McEachran worked with South on at least one number last year, wonder if she did one this year? Can somebody from South answer this question. So if I'm right some of yall are saying some of these people are better than themselves. Rather interesting.
I think everybody has a different opinion on what is good and what is not. To say that South Jones directors choreography is better than April James, Steve Todd, Randy Sage, Gates Crisler, and Linda McEachran by far is laughable though. There choreography is executed very hard. Some people like that some do not. It is all about preference, but for you to say they have the hardest by far is a joke. Hitting moves hard does not make them hard. I think this was why Enterprise won best visual. They make their hard choreography look very simple, whereas South Jones makes their big choreography look super hard.
Company got best show design? They most likely deserved this one but I am not sure about the SD ha! Not trying to take away from your GC you most likely deserved it
I would just like to say Congratulations to ALL the groups!!! Enterprise, Opelika, South Jones, Enterprise Girls and Auburn Girls ALL did an awesome job for the first competition!! Enterprise was very good!! I am always impressed with Mr. Baker and his groups. A very classy man! Opelika was very good also, Mr. Dale has done a great job with them. Auburn Girls, great job!!! Enterprise Girls were fantastic also!!
The scoring was close in prelims. South Jones did step it up a lot in finals. But to say if they didn't win it would have been cheating is NOT RIGHT!!!!! We all know that usually how you finish prelims is usually the way finals end. It is rare for groups to jump over unless they stepped it up a lot. But it could have gone either way!!! I am very proud of Company and the way they adjusted. But I am also happy for Enterprise, Opelika, Enterprise Girls and Auburn Girls!
Enterprise, Opelika, South Jones will all get better as the weeks go on. I believe that they will all battle and it will be close again!
Enterprise Encores and Opelika Ovations... Yall have nothing to be down about!!!!! Keep your heads up!
I look forward to seeing all of yall at the South Jones Invitational!!!! Look me up!!

oh we are! this years show is 100% better than last year!
