Does anyone have any knowledge on scores?
If I remember correctly, there were 3 judges:
Andrew Last had Hastings ahead of Urbandale by 1 point
Brandon Dean had Urbandale ahead of Hastings by 1 point
Steve Albaugh had Hastings ahead of Urbandale by 11 or 12 points.
Here is my one Totino-Grace story I'll share. I had the single most terrifying moment on a stage during the prelims on Saturday. We were coming up on the end of our second song "Sound of Silence" and our drummer leaned over to pick up his rain stick and inadvertently unplugged the power to ALL of the electronic instruments in the band. I was supposed to still be playing along with the end of the song and we were in a panic. At the time we didn't know what had happened and we weren't sure we were going to be able to get everything back on before the next song (our ballad) started. I was just about to sprint over to the acoustic piano at the other end of the stage by all of our wind instruments when he leaned down and pushed the plug back in and everything popped back on.
As always the competition was superbly run and they didn't miss a single detail. Our kids were most appreciative of the "midway concessions" that were still open even after the finals awards were given so they could buy some snacks for the bus ride home.
My one complaint would be the deafeningly loud full volume jam session that went on for the ENTIRE DAY in the equipment storage area. I would be in full support of a rule eliminating that.
