lol of course I knew. look at any other post ever on SCC. I'm just giving you grief.
I remember when Pete judged ISSMA in 08. He came back and said HN had a simply GORGEOUS sound. I believe they performed first, and he had them ranked 1st until Carmel performed. I'm guessing HN is doing a capella in their ballad, so Mr. Jasperse should love that. HN's ballads always sound slightly jazzy, even if their actual sound isn't jazzy at all.
That being said, I'm still guessing Totino is gonna sweep this
One thing I can be for sure of..... Best Party will go to the Awesome Singers from Cedar Rapids/Long Grove/Sioux City
I don't know much about the other three... butttt I've worked with Dr. Eklund and Greg Jasperse. Dr. Eklund LOVES big choral sound. That said TG should blow everyone else out of the water... they just have such a mature sound to them... and Greg is into vocal jazz stuff, but I know he's really into intonation, as I had him for a counselor at camp. TG, when I saw them were dead center of the pitch the whole time. they never strayed. This should be a shoe in for TG...
Predictions:
GC: TG (BB, BC, BV)
1RU: Hastings
2RU: Kennedy
3RU: a fight for this last spot in finals! Should be fun
Well HN has an AMAZING CHORAL SOUND and so does LC and if he likes vocal jazz then he will enjoy CS because thats part of their show. Many of these groups have great vocals. Shoe in?? i dnt think so it will be a tough competition.
Not to confuse, but in the information sent to us by FAME, they state there are a total of 5 judges- two show, two vocal, one instrumental. They don't specify who will be doing what sheet, but included the following list:
Marty DeMott
Pete Eklund
Mike Esser
Greg Jasperse
Jen Oundjian

Got the hotel booked, plans ready, and 11 very excited kids ready to come to this competition from Cedar Rapids! If you see a crazed Red Head yelling in a corneer about something... that is Julio, come say hi to us
or a six foot five black kid in skinny jeans just talking loud with a possible bum eye
