I think it's too soon to tell. The week before Great River four of these schools (North, Sauk Prairie, Linn-Mar, Wash) will compete against each other at Fort Atkinson, so that will be a bit more of a tell. But I'm sure whatever happens there will not happen at Great River.
Does anyone know how good CR Wash and bettendorf are this year? I heard CR Wash wasn't doing very well, they didn't place at Linn-Mar.
I saw Washington at linn mar this past weekend and while i dont agree with them not making finals there, they are definately not what they were last year. Maybe its too early in the season like Stolby said but i feel there is a lot more that they could do with what they have. endurance seemed to be their downfall
Does anyone else thing its a little strange that Both Iowa City Schools are back to back and Both Cedar Rapids Schools are back to back? Maybe its just me.
The great river schedule is determined according to placement the previous year
That is correct, they did not place at Linn Mar. Different competition and different judges=different results. We'll see how good they are this next week where you will see them at Muscatine. Too early in the season to predict how this will go.
I'm sure they'll be great though. I really enjoyed their show last year.

But It's true..I'm not doubting that they are still very good. Just maybe not as good as previous years. And knowing Jason, I'm sure that is what he meant.

Both of Sauk Prairie's groups will be there, and YTBN will actually be competing this year! (and on a side note, this is my last competition before I become a legal adult! My birthday is the 20th!)
