Show choir contests, across the board, don't do a very good job of making their scores transparent. Typically just the directors receive a copy, but every once in a while a director, contest rep, or student will share the overall scores by posting a comment on here. It'd be great if there were more transparency, but just a heads up that's how it tends to go with show choir contests.
This is the updated schedule for Jackson Prep Show Choir Masters. We look forward to seeing all of our friends and invite all show choir fans to come enjoy a fantastic competition!

Am I the only person that thinks the Large Mixed schedule seems odd? Like, not only do you have both of Homewood’s mixed groups going back to back in a division with five choirs, but the Intermediate group is scheduled after the Advanced group.
We did do this once in a finals. Our prep group warmed up without a band, just rehearsal tracks. It was definitely unconventional, but they were so pumped to make finals that it worked!
Still something that shouldn’t have happened. At Enterprise in 2013, Homewood was supposed to have two groups back to back, which they changed after the announcement. Doing this for prelims seems like an unforced error. Maybe the scheduling is the reverse of when the groups registered, but if a school has multiple groups, there needs to be ample time for transition. That ensures that the director can be in the warm-up for every group, and that any kids that perform in multiple groups (in this case there are four guys in Network and Associate) can transition between groups.
