I don't know much about St. Francis, but with their showing at Hastings and the amazing quality of the competitions they didn't to make finals at, I'm going high here. But it's pretty much a shot in the dark.
They sing extremely well....like they are very good. I was at Hastings and saw them and just had this feeling that I would see them later that night. In other words I was VERY impressed. Making finals there must have also given them some momentum which is always a good thing.
GC. Sioux Falls O'Gorman (assuming "Vivace" on the schedule is "Ovation" since I've never heard of O'Gorman Vivace).
1RU. Grand Island Senior High
2RU. St. Francis
3RU. Sioux Falls Washington
4RU. LeMars
5RU. Marshall
Many of the same groups from Emmetsburg are here, competing together for the second time in three weeks. The battle between O'Gorman and GISH will be very interesting; not quite as long of a day as Eburg was for GISH, so I expect them to do a little better. But will it be enough to overcome O'Gorman? Sioux Falls Washington and LeMars were also close at Eburg, so that provides another interesting match up a little lower in the standings.

The last finals spot I put in Marshall, but I could also see Vermillion or Aberdeen or someone else making it. I'm not really familiar with the other random SD schools.
This will be LeMars' first time competing on a Saturday in South Dakota! I am going to make the drive up if I can get work off. To all of you from Crimson and Black on here, good luck! You guys have a killer show. I know it's your last competition of the year so give it everything you have, especially to the amazing group of seniors taking the stage for the last time. I love you all. <3
