congrats to all...esp PIQUA!! and Medina!!! you both were FANTASTIC!!
our ballad is by contemporary christian artist David Phelps, it's called "Fly Again." our directors brought it back from show choir camps of america this summer, and i'm glad they did. lots of people have really connected to it and we're always very grateful to have people share their stories with us. so thanks to you!
I wanted to thank everyone for all of the good comments. We were kinda discouraged after finishing where we did, but realized there is nothing we can do about it now. We had the greatest hosts, and all the people from Twinsburg are awesome. I am also so happy that so many like our ballad that is our goal to give everyone goosebumps or make them cry it is so powerful. Thanks to the person that said what they did about our ballad. We worked so hard on sounding like a huge wall of sound while dancing our booties off, and want to thank someone for mentioning that Too Congrats Piqua you kids are HOTTT!!! A lot of kids from Marysville have LOADS of respect for you. Congrats again!!

Marysville,
Your ballad was awesome!! I would love to know where it originally comes from.
One of our chaperones is a Hospice nurse and one of her patients was a little 2 year old boy with a brain tumor, she received a call just about and hour before your performance to tell her that he had died.
So your ballad was extra touching to all of us around her. ( I think we went thru a box of tissues)
It was beautiful and I thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Congrats to all it was a great competition.

first off, i was a little upset at some of the results from the finals but ya know what, this is probably the best competition this year for me. i met sooo many great ppl, especailly marysville ppl you guys are sooo nice, some of the coolest ppl to talk to and just genuinely great ppl. we had two amazing performances that we would never take back in a second, left it all on the stage. this is also the first year we made finals since the 2000 season, and thats something we are sooo proud of.
major props too.....
Piqua- wow!! wow!! wow!! you stayed away from having the same style songs and u gave a new flavor, and flare to each style of song you did. your ballad u can't say anything negative ab it, it was an amazing ballad and definately gave me chills. you can really feel the passion and heart u put into that performance. you guys without a doubt deserved to win in my eyes. and when ya'll did "my peragotive by britney spears" at first i was like what were they thinking and at the end i was like wow that was one of the hottest closers i've seen this year. and i'm actually to hear this is ur first GC in a long time whats up with that?? I loved your show *standing ovation*.
Marysville- u guys are sooo good b/c your director is a solon alum. hehehe no im kidding im kidding. BUT, honestly first off i love all you ppl. the nicest group i've had the chance to talk to all year. (i was the "carlton" just if u wanna know who i am btw thanks for making me do the dance ) um but your show this year flawless. dancing, hott hott hott hott hott. vocals very strong as well. the ballad gave me goose bumps. i thought u guys deserved higher but whatcha goin do? you put on two GREAT performances, and i can't help but smile when I see ya'll on stage.
Fairfield- i really loved your show this year. i dont tihnk u can ever top that jail theme my freshmen year, but it was a great show. extremely innovative. the closer outfits were off the chain. i cant even call it a show, the whole production was great. i liked how u had the girls then guys in the ballad. what is that song btw? wheres it from? dancing was great, vocals great. every year you are a powerhouse, and never cease to impress!!!
and Brush- im soooo sorry ya'll came in 7th. i thought u guys deserved to be in finals. you have come a long way this year. i must admit i underestimated you early this year, but watching u guys perform yesterday, GREAT PERFORMANCE. especially being a smaller group, you guys are awesome.
this was the first time we'd made finals at twinsburg in 4 years. it was so exciting just to get to go that far.
all the groups were amazing! but i especially love marysville, it was great to meet so many of you, you were all so nice and so much fun. and i love your show, i cry every time i hear your ballad.
best of luck to everyone with the rest of their seasons!

i just have a couple of things to add to my fellow swinger. while i was disappointed with our placement...actually i'll be frank, i was pissed right after the results...we knew going in that there were five groups at twinsburg that had a good shot at grand champion. after making finals and after getting class b runner-up for our daytime performance (which is usually a lot worse than our potential finals performance) i was really jazzed up and ready to show everyone that we could be the best choir there. well that obviously didn't happen, but instead of focusing on that and trashing everyone that beat us i'd like to dispense a few pleasantries.
what needs to be said first is that i'm so happy that piqua won. this is my first year in show choir so i might just be stupid, but piqua is my favorite ohio group. vocally they're loud...but good in tune loud, and that's a really hard thing to be. choreographically, their dancing can only be described as hot. if there was one school that i was cheering for besides us, it would be piqua.
also i should mention that solon has the coolest show ever! every single song gets in your head and refuses to leave, and as fashionably questionable as sequin baseball caps are, you pull it off well.
lastly, i had never seen fairfield before. i has seen a tape earlier in the week of twinsburg's comp. 2003, a year when fairfield won with a jail-themed show. needless to say that they were very different this year than that one. it was nice to see a group completely change pace and try something new. i also really liked how your ballad featured the guys and the girls seperately and wasn't happy or sappy.
that's all for now. i'm really glad we had the chance to compete with all these great groups, even if the results didn't come out in our favor. there's always next year!
congrat to all, but a special congrats to Piqua they guys deserved the win, and thata must be exciting to have gotten ur first Gc in awhile. I love u guys. And to solon good job.
