I'm only saying this because it took me hours to comprehend what was going on...ARRANGEMENTS. Arraignments is a judicial term...Not quite the same. But, great job on spelling the more difficult word correctly.

Blah! I think i just copied what someone had. I am AWFUL at spelling.
I love how people assume that just because they are doing ONE of his arraignments that they are going to automatically win. I am pretty sure Pete is professional to not just say "Oh, well... they are doing my arraignments so I'm going to score them the best" think with your heads people.
And I agree Jay, our group will be awesome, I hope we can make finals! eeek.

Cedar Rapids Kennedy 'Happiness Inc.'
Hastings 'Riverside Company'
Huntington North 'Varsity Singers'
Lawrence Central 'Central Sound'
Sioux City East 'Headliners'
Totino Grace 'Company of Singers'
I expect the order to be something like:
GC: Totino Grace
1RU: Hastings
2RU: Huntington North
3RU: Cedar Rapids Kennedy
4RU: Sioux City East
5RU: Lawrence Central
But then again, I think this competition is very even, so I could see it going many different ways. Basically it depends on who brings their 'A' game tomorrow.
This competition looks to be very vocally set. If you're a vocal lover, you will have no troubles being pleased tomorrow. Seeing a group with quality vocals like East this low in my predictions shows the depth of quality here. Totino and Hastings both have beautiful vocals, Kennedy is known for their vocals, LC tends to pride themselves on their vocals and HN is also great to listen to.
Choreography wise I think we could see some weakness among the groups. I think the top half of the final results will be very great on choreo, but the bottom half could be iffy. (This is 100% my opinion.)
Good luck to all groups, but a special good luck to Sioux City East in representing Northwest Iowa! (:
I'm supersuper jealous I can not be there for this one.
I love how people assume that just because they are doing ONE of his arrangements that they are going to automatically win. I am pretty sure Pete is professional to not just say "Oh, well... they are doing my arraignments so I'm going to score them the best" think with your heads people.
And I agree Jay, our group will be awesome, I hope we can make finals! eeek.
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 it's obvious he will love TG, they are singing his arrangement. So that one's a gimme for TG
