This competition has the opportunity to be extremely exciting. I think Grand Champ may be up in the air...as far as who will make the Finals, in no particular order of course (my own thoughts):
But if any of these schools has an off day, then it is completely up in the air. Any group can step up and have an outstanding performance that warrants them a finals spot!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL GROUPS ATTENDING!!! I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO AN OUTSTANDING DAY OF SHOW CHOIR!!!!
i went to sullivan this weekend and saw troy, oh my they have gotten so much better. i would say its between troy and petal, i think onlaska will do well but maybe wheaton warrenville will take onalaska but if troy sings like they did oh my God!! i am really looking forward to seeing Petals show! good luck to all groups, there are alot of good one going to be there.

I am also excited for this trip good groups and a new place that troy hasnt been before, its gonna be a good one! good luck everybody, can't wait to see y'all shows!!!!
I suspect if Petal is coming all this way again that they probably won't suck!
But the only time I saw them was at Chicagoland in 2004, and they blew me away. The best description is "total package" show choir. Solid vocals (though they were edged out by Prospect's Journey show that year), impressive choreography, and an overall great show. They were amazing, and I'm really excited to see them again.
Petal has always been very very very competitive with Clinton, MS. In 2003 they won best choreography over them at one competition (and anyone that's seen Clinton knows how clean they are!!!!) They usually sing well, and have great costuming, look for a great band, and good package. They had a rough start to their season this year it sounds like, but bounced back the next weekend to do great!

1) I'm an alum, so I can't exactly "ask my director" as someone suggested, because I don't personally know anyone going! Otherwise I would... really...
2) I'm a local Chicago resident who simply wants to attend...
3) This contest is just ONE WEEK away - that's the main reason for my frustration. I'm trying to make plans for this coming Saturday and am totally unable to. I'd just call the school, but that's a bother to them during a busy week leading up to a contest - and frankly, I thought that was what this site was great for - getting information like this out to the public!
4) Schedules have regularly been posted MUCH earlier than this for other events, so I'm curious what the hold up is for this one. If they don't have a schedule yet - well, I'd like to know! (but I find that HIGHLY unlikely).
5) If an obnoxious font finally gets an answer going - well, I don't think I'll apologize for that!
My point is merely there are more mature ways to get the ball rolling. In any event, there wasn't a schedule to be had.
