Highschool students of the MPTV-CloseUp video club took lots of photos of all the groups and the awards presentations. They can be viewed on their Facebook page. www.facebook.com/pg/mptvcloseup/photos/?tab=albums
I took pictures of every group, the awards and behind the scenes. Those albums can be viewed on my Facebook page www.facebook.com/dave.schneider1/photos_albums
We have a change in one of our judges as Ben Schrank and his wife had a baby yesterday afternoon, so Justin Sands will be serving as a judge in his place. Congratulations to Ben and Emily!

The schedule should be announced any day now and I'll get it posted right away. I know it's mostly the same schools that competed last year - South St. Paul, Pekin (IL), last year's grand champion Xavier, Davenport Central, Hannibal, Central Lee and I assume Fort Madison - I believe 12 groups in competition.
Admission is $10, which includes a program. There will be lots of good food available throughout the event. Special guests will be the show choir from Mount Mercy University, who will perform in exhibition late in the afternoon before the daytime awards.
As of late December there are 12 groups coming from Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois and Missouri. We have room for a few more groups. Don't miss out on this fun competition. Contact Marlene DePriest today to reserve your spot. [email protected] 319-385-7700
