So many amazing choirs!!!!!!
Thank you Joplin for offering a livestream for all of us at home to watch
Congrats to Hillside Singers for another grand champion win!
Middle School results
1st) Polyphics (BV)
2nd) Carthage (BC)
3rd) Euphonics (BMS, Best Ballad)
The crowd was cheering too loud for me to hear who the female solo went to.
My predictions
Pleasant Hill Hillside Singers- Top three
Carthage Soundwave- Top three
Neosho Choraleers- Top three
DoMENance- Fourth Overall
Powerhouse- Fifth Overall
Suite Sounds- Sixth Overall
Anybody have a line up for this competition? I heard Hollister would be coming! I’m also curious if Broken Arrow TR will come back and try to claim 1st again.
I’m assuming Carthage, Neosho, Webb, and Pleasant Hill will be coming since I know the four groups I mentioned attend this one occasionally.
It’ll definitely be one to watch!
