Best band and costume were combined. Mitchell did not sweep Ovation! put up an amazing fight and deserved best vocals. They were based on volume not difficulty and intonation, in my opinion and many others.
I wasn't at the competition, but Mitchell this year had wonderful intonation and extremely difficult arrangements, and any vocal shortcomings (at least to me) seemed to be in the power section. If you're telling me otherwise I'd like to congratulate Mitchell on really stepping up their game and figuring out that elusive "big" choral sound! Additionally I'd like to congratulate all other schools on their placement. O'Gorman kids: you guys sounded PHENOMENAL at Vermillion this year, totally blown away!

Aberdeen or Roosevelt could also make a case for finals.
Honestly after the top two, this competition could go many different ways.
I think the battle for GC between Mitchell and O'Gorman will be very exciting, and then the battle for 2RU will be even more competitive. Good luck to everyone, especially my friends at Emmetsburg!

Less than a week away and still no info? It would be nice to see a schedule - I know there are many alumni from area schools that would like to attend but do not know group times yet.
