5RU: Valley "Ignition"
BV,BC: Ankeny Centennial "Spectrum"

This is a great lineup! If I wasn't competing tomorrow there would be a 100% chance of me coming to this.
Predictions:
GC: Ankeny Centennial (BV BC)
1RU: Valley
2RU: Urbandale
3RU: Washington (BB)
4RU: Xavier
5RU: Valley Prep
This is gonna be a really close one and I can see that middle tier of Urbandale, Washington, and Valley going a lot of different ways. Best of luck to everyone tomorrow!
Predictions:
GC: Centennial (BV BC)
1RU: Urbandale
2RU: Valley (BB)
3RU: Xavier
4RU: Washington
5RU: Valley Prep
This are most likely going to be wrong, but we'll see. I fell like Xavier has a competition every year where they come out and outdo themselves. I don't know what to think of Wash based on the results this year. And it seems like Centennial is the hands down favorite to take it. It should be interesting.
out of the groups going this weekend i have only seen Xavier! i am so excited to see some new shows!! Ill be there after the middle school awards till the end!! good luck everyone
btw.... on the "Raise the Roof" website, it has the two Ankeny prep groups switched around, so 12:50 is Rhythmic Momentum and 2:55 is Eternal Rush. Makes sense (here in Iowa) that women go 1st and mixed prep goes 2nd.

So I won't make predictions, but here are some thoughts:
I wouldn't be surprised at all if Valley won best vocals. Their vocals are very very strong throughout the show.
Best ballad, I see it going to either Sleep by Centennial or In the Air Tonight by Urbandale.
Urbandale has such a cool rendition of Radioactive
So with Wash beating Johnston in day rounds and taking choreo in finals, I think they are definitely a threat to win here. There should be a great battle for best choreo.
Prep will be extremely competitive. You've got two of Des Moines's bets in Centennial and Valleys's prep, as well as Xuberance hot off of a big win.
Haha especially at this competiton, in the past it has been so exciting how much things can change between day and night rounds, who knows what this year will bring!
trust me anything can happen at this competition and every competition.

Ugh why not make a prediction
Gc- centennial
1st runner up- urbandale
2nd runner up- valley
3rd runner up- Washington
4th runner up- Xavier (though I was quite impressed with your shows at Benton)
5th runner up- Valley or centennial prep
I think it will be
BV & BC - centennial
Bb- washington

To everyone out there down voting Jack, don't. He's a super nice kid and a big fan of show choir, if you disagree then post your own predictions. Don't scare away young fans on SCC.
I feel like everyone needs to stop taking so much stock into these down votes. In the case of down votes on predictions- I don't feel like the negative votes are a way of saying "HEY... WE HATE YOU. YOU'RE AN AWFUL PERSON"... In most cases I feel like it's people saying "I don't agree with these predictions." If you're going to predict, I feel like you automatically need to accept that you're going to be judged by your peers for "judging" or "predicting' other schools. Just my two cents. Please feel free to down vote! I can take it!
Cedar Rapids Kennedy Raise the Roof! 2015
good luck everyone
