They were all very qualified! ERic Van Cleave, Lynn Noble, Jay Emerich, and Mike (someone) from Findlay, the scores where obviously how the very capable judges thought. between the first two names alone they have over 50 years of show choir experience and to many grand championships to count.
In prelims, Van Buren had a higher score than Findlay...very strange. In finals, they got a higher cor. score than piqua...also doesnt make since but hey, the judges makes the disissions...they did clean up there show alot!!!
Piqua and Findlay tied in Vocals and Overall Score, it just came down to 3 simple points...
Piqua - 42
Findlay - 39
I love Findlay's show this year... now all they really have to work on IMO is cleaning choreo, and clean some of their prop mishaps. Congrats to all that competed .

If you'd like to see how your particular choir's scores were for...
someone can correct me if im wrong
piqua and findlay tied for overall score so the judges went to the vocal score and they were tied so they went to the choreo score and piqua beat them in choreo
Now that Teays and coopersville(i think) is out...this is how finals are gound down
1) Findlay
2) Piqua
3) Marion Harding
4) Perry
5) Grove?..maybe
6) CR
