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 [/quote]
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.
[quote name='ana' date='1269371413' post='497673']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[/quote]

[quote name='UOSCF' date='1269470047' post='497899']Dr. Ecklund and the rest of the judges will have their hands full. I have no clue which way this will go.[/quote]
[quote name='pelnese7' date='1269463247' post='497872']Very interesing that Dr. Ecklund is a judge and the Les Mis ballad by Totino Grace is his arrangement.[/quote]
Soooo many people spell Dr. Eklund's name wrong allllll of the time.
E... K... L... U... N... D...
No "C".
And, Dr. Eklund just judged Bands at FAME Branson last year... that may be happening again.

[quote name='onereason' date='1269272053' post='497524']Twitter user @[i]show choir[/i] reports that Fame Events will "live feed" Show Choir Cup from Chicago this weekend.
No details yet for you starving artists and students out there, but I would imagine it's not going to be free.
p.s. Again, the words "show" and "choir" are NOT separated by a _space_ on Twitter...only on these forums.[/quote]
That is SOOOOOO EXCITNG!!!!
