This is just going to be a bloodbath!!! I am extremely nervous/terrified for this competition! Good luck to everyone. It will be a treat to sit down and watch everyone this weekend!
Im gunna go out on a whim here and im probably gunna be wrong but who knows with all these really great groups!!! my predictions
GC: Hastings (BV)
1RU: Urbandale (BB)
2RU: Ankeny Centenial (BC)
3RU: Bemidji
4RU: IC High
5RU: Kennedy
I know these really wrong but I dont know very much about Bemidji this year and IC high really was a big surprise for me at Prairie Premiere soo this could go anyway! don't hate on me
I'm gonna revise my predictions a bit after gathering this weekends results
GC: Ankeny Centennial
1RU: Hastings
2RU: Urbandale
3RU: Kennedy
4RU: Bemidji
5RU: IC High
This looks to be the premiere competition in Iowa this year! Can't wait to see how it turns out with two groups already having GC's and Spectrum making the amazing debut they apparently had! Can't wait!
There are about 7 groups here that could legitimately take the GC.
Predictions:
I feel like Ankeny Centennial is a wild card because I'm not quite sure how good they'll be with Ankeny splitting about 70/30 with only the 30 going to Centennial. However, I placed them because of how great of groups come from Ankeny and just for the fun of it . I will probably update my predictions after the first week of competition shakes out but this competition will be great nonetheless!
From what I've heard, Spectrum got the better deal and have a much older, more experienced group than VA. I wouldn't be shocked to see them win at any of the comps they're attending.
I might be wrong, what I said above is what I heard. They're still a wild card to me though just because they're a brand new school and group. We might be looking at another Iowa powerhouse or another developing program that's still in the works after the split. I'm excited to see what they've got.
Predictions:
GC: Hastings
1RU: Urbandale
2RU: Kennedy
3RU: Bemidji
4RU: Ankeny Cen.
5RU: IC High
Well my predictions are destined to fail at this one. With a lot of great groups coming this year, the fight for finals will be a tough one. I could see this one going so many different ways.

Hey all, quick question before I add the prep groups. Is there a 9th grade division or just a general prep division? Last year's Supernova apparently just had a prep division, but there has been chat of a 9th grade division so I just wanted to double check. And if there is a 9th grade division, is that just "Vivace" and "Chanteurs"?
CONFIRMING that there is a 9th grade division. It will include the first 3 ensembles.

I really don't know and there is no information either way on the website. There have been 9th grade divisions at Linn-Mar before. There have also been years where there wasn't (i.e. when I was in Vivace and last year), but both of those years only had 1 9th only group. Personally I don't care either way, because Vivace is prep-level this year and Chanteurs definitely was last year. I assume Ankeny's 3rd group would be included if there was a 9th division, but I really don't know. Sorry. What a non-post this was :-P

. I will probably update my predictions after the first week of competition shakes out but this competition will be great nonetheless!
