I think the only choir that will come close to Clinton is Kennedy.  Jefferson isn't that strong in my opinion.  I liked there show so much better last year.

I think Kennedy has the only chance.

I unfortunetly haven't seen Kennedy's show yet this year, and I might not get to tomorrow but I've heard a ton of good things about them this year. I think most of the people from both groups are in agreement that we just want to kick some Attache behind. " border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Wouldn't that be so cool though, to honestly beat one of the top groups in the nation... in lil 'ole Iowa?
Jorge, I have to disagree with you - I wasn't in WSD last year, but I was there watching the whole time and I think we have somehting they didn't last year totally... we have the drive and the want to get things done. We cooperate and if someone has beef with someone else then they talk to them about it. The groups show, as most would agree, is much better than last years. I know you don't like that we supposidly "stole" a piece from Milton (as I restate we didn't even see them last year) but that doesn't mean the rest of it isn't there.
Good luck to everyone tomorrow, and I hope to post the results as soon as we get home!

I understand where you are coming from. But your show is nothing like it was last year in my eyes. I think your show is quite boring and dry this year... the only exception the last half of the ballad and small portions of Too Darn Hot. I mean yeah... you are better then Davenport West, but you just don't wow me. 2003 wasn't wow... it was ::jaw dropping:: "WOWZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". 2004 for me is ::sit and stare silent::.



This is just my opinion... I know plenty of people who love Jefferson this year!
Good Luck!

At least in the past, I think they may have sold videos but also everyone can also videotape. Hehe... Free copy of Attache', Sweet!

Hey quietdown, I'll gladly post the info as soon as I get up on sunday! I'm gonna want one too, as Clinton will most likely rock my world (from all that has been said about their reputation). But seriously, does anyone have any current information about them? Their website is super unupdated, and I'd like to at least know what their songs are this year, but if they're one of those groups who don't let that info out until their first comp then nevermind!

Please ignore anything Gumby has said... He does not use his head at all when posting... Happiness could care less if they get noticed or not, they just want to perform well. Gumby's statements are not based off of what Happiness thinks, just one not so smart kid...

well i guess that if a person has seen All three of the shows(clinton, and both cr groups) then you could make an accurate prediction.  If not then you are giving the theoretical outcome(basing your guessing on the past results and shows) then you cannot realistically predict the outcome.

I dont meen to toot my own horn but lets see here.  Happiness has been on the rise for a while.  We beat jefferson last year and we have gone nowhere but up since then.  On these lists that are posted around the forums, people have been putting us behind create monee, buffalo grove, tatino,  and we beat all of them last year.  hell we beat onalaska inthe day round by like 10 pts at jeff... and they are always in the top 5.  Two years ago we came 3 pts away from beating GCS.  We won Branson last year.  The group has improved since last year.  As i am sure that everyone has, its just i hate it when good groups go unnoticed!

cry me a river ----- your noticed, we notice you ---- hey look there -- its happiness --- hey everybody notice happiness there over there in the corner crying cause nobody notices him....

there you feel better? We notice you!!!!

and yes your a great group ---really great -- but there is a BIG difference between what you do and what Clinton does. Perhaps the person who has not seen the groups before is YOU. Clinton will sing like something you have never heard before.

Ok i think that what i said was very inappropriate and i am sorry. I also believe that happiness could care less about what people think about them. So can i. I guess things will be decided in the season at hand. To all that had to read the post, i am sincerely sorry, it was totally imature of me.

We'd never see them again anywhere in Iowa.

That would be hilarious. Consistently one of the best groups in the country comes all the way to Iowa and to Benton (Out in the middle of nowhere, no offense, but it is) and then lose. We'd never see them again anywhere in Iowa.

I honestly think Clinton will not take grand champion at Benton.  I think CR Kennedy or Jefferson will beat them.  You may think I am crazy...  but just think about it.

Then again no one ever posts anything about them and no one that says anything about them tells about their show. " border="0" alt="huh.gif" />

Their show, at first, sounds kinda weird, but rest assured it'll be great once you see it. ;)

My Finals Predictions:

GC: Attache'- Hard to see them not win it, never seen them, but one of the best is what I have heard

1st Runner-Up: Either Westside Delegation or Happiness Incorporated- Haven't faced each other yet... We'll see how they do.  Happiness beat WSD last year, WSD beat Happiness for many years before that

2nd Runner-Up: The one that isn't the first runner-up.  See above.

3rd Runner-Up: Momentum- I think they're better this year.  They belong in this spot.  There ya go Mocevifan and Techgurl.

4th Runner-Up: SC Heelan- We don't get to see them very often in this part of the state, but I've always enjoyed their show.

5th Runner-Up: CR Kennedy (Protege')- As the probably the best prep show choir at the contest, I really just believe that they're the sixth best show choir here.

i agree with these placings.... i think that those will be the results... um cept remember that @ benton the top small school group makes finals as the 6th spot... so i think the last bigger group finals spot will be fought over between heelan and protege.... however as i have discussed b4, ive seen heelan and they are amazing and always are so i think protege has a tough time on their hands... but that would still be kewl if they made it!

i love attache. they are so amazing. we saw them @ nashville last year and we are all still in love!
