Yes!! I'm having issues.


Am I the only one having this much trouble getting on the live-feed?

Yeah. The feed was a bit bumpy for the first show. But way to go Tupelo!!! Lots of heart and crazy combo ending :D

Can't make predictions based on the partial shows presented in the sound checks, but the choirs that stood out are: ALA, Twinsburg, Brea, and Uniondale. Some of the favorites were perhaps holding back.

And now the question is...
Is the live feed worth paying $20 for?

Because I'm highly tempted.

Fire alarm went off, I heard that it was a gas leak, hopefully this won't effect the schedule

Fire alarm during Brea Olinda's ballad. Standing outside listening to the Hastings band using the time to warm up.

Yes. There will be a $20 fee for the FAME Show Choir National Finals LIVE FEED. That $20 includes both days though (the entire competition).



So I purchased live feed.... When/how do I get my password to view?

Nevermind..... Found it

Wait.... Are sound checks being webcast? That's why I bought feed....

2ND PLACE:Findlay H.S "First Edition"
3RD PLACE:Brea Olinda H.S. "Masquerade"
4TH PLACE:Twinsburg H.S. "Great Expectations"
5TH PLACE:Mt. Zion H.S "Swingsations"
6TH PLACE:Uniondale H.S. "Rhythm of the Knight"

7TH PLACE:Janesville Craig H.S. "Spotlighters"
8TH PLACEetal H.S. "Soundsations"

10TH PLACE:Lincoln Southwest H.S. "Resonance"
11TH PLACE:Davenport Central H.S. "Central Singers"

13TH PLACE:Homestead H.S. "Class Royale"



Don't forget Lincoln Southwest! They won GC, vocals, and choreography at FAME Chicago over Etobicoke's 3rd. I also am not sure of your placement for ALA "Evolution" considering they won FAME Hollywood with choreo and band, and beat Brea, who you have 3rd. I haven't seen either show this year, but I would be surprised if there was a 9 place gap between those two groups.

As the director of Brea Olinda and a show choir director for 37 years, I see this year's field of groups as being not only outstanding, but highly entertaining as well. I expect the outcome in both divisions to be close with no single group dominating. I would like to congratulate every group and their outstanding directors for qualifying for this year's highly competitive Show Choir National Finals. Good luck to you and may we all grow as a result of watching each other.
