Hmm... hoping that this will be put up on the results but Neenah had Best Male Soloist (Phil Rashid) and Best Female Soloist (Allison Kronberg)
Quite random but eh....but why not??
If you mean for the separate solo competition, that may be. However, regarding soloists in a show the results listed above are correct.

So Proud of our Choir!!! The Hilltoppers brought home five trophies!
Anyway, did anyone find it weird during awards when the MC put a lot of emphasis on "The group with the bes.. I mean EFFECTIVE use of Choreography"
It seemed like they changed it insted of best to effective for MIlton to win that... anyone know why?
Milton obviously deserved Best/Effective Choreo. They were RIDICULOUSLY clean and on top of each move. They deserved to win, no matter what the title was for it was best and most effective. We have a lot of work to do on our choreo. Congrats on everyone's placement at Monona, and each group deserved to be in finals - everyone did their best and preformed at a high calibre! Monona had fantastic hosts, and was a good environment in which to preform! Can't wait to return next year! :D
I'm really proud of Onalaska! Their show is amazing this year. Onalaska is collectively one of the nicest and most congenial show choirs, so I'm really glad that their hard work paid off. A lot of times show choirs come to competitions with big egos and attitudes, but I swear that isn't the case with anyone from Onalaska. Congratulations and I hope to see you guys again later this season!!
I saw Onalaska and Milton during the day and they were both very good. I agree with Milton getting best choreo, simply because I thought theirs was more engaging. It used a lot of creative staging, as opposed to more of a block of singers look. It seemed like Onalaska was trying to pack as much choreography into each second of music as possible, which gave the show a busy feel; not sure if that's good or bad yet! Very solid vocally though. And I love the French horn solo!
One other note:
I think Monona Grove's show this year is my favorite. Mostly because of the amazing opener and the moondance soloist. A lot of awesome stuff happening there.
Now after having seen all of the show choirs that made it into the finals (except Neenah, sorry I came too late to watch), I have new predictions.
GC: Milton (BV)/Onalaska (BC)
1RU: Milton/Onalaska
2RU: Fort Atkinson
3RU: Sauk Prairie
4RU: Neenah/St. Paul
5RU: Neenah/St. Paul
Other notes: I was completely floored by Onalaska's ballad. It had two of the best soloists I've ever heard. Well done! Also, Milton's vocal were ridiculously amazing.
I apologize but I cant remember specific names. Both winners of the solo competition were from Neenah. Best Duet was from Lodi. Winners of soloists within shows were from Onalaska (female) and Sauk Prairie (male.) Onalaska Express won the prep division. Best Band and Best Crew escape me right now. Lodi won the Spirit Award.

Top three spots could be close, Milton and Onalaska will either take the GC. But I fee like Ona will pull through today! Good Luck to all groups competing!

MG has never been kind to Sauk's shows, but I hear they had a strong show at Onalaska. Milton has always been one of my favorite show choirs, and they are always very good choreography-wise.
Oops you are totally right....that was stupid lol Thanks!
