I really wish there was a group who could stop Attache, but I really don't see it happening. They are just too perfect. They may have a boring show, but they perform it to perfection so it's hard to penalize them.

This competition is so stacked. I'm going to root for the underdogs here. GO B-TOWN!! I'm also really biased towards my own city. Connection has been steadily improving since competition season has started, we were only 8 points behind bemidji in prelims at waconia. then... we were disappointed in finals. either way, I think that this could go a lot of different ways. i saw a really poor youtube video of clinton this year and i wasn't amazed by any means. but i also just really need to see them live. i saw clinton live freshmen year and i've watched a bunch of youtube clips from years past and i think that they are beatable. They're an incredibly strong groups but this is a solid lineup, so it could happen. Chances are, it won't, but who knows. This competition could end a hundred different ways. It'll be interesting to have so many April James choirs there. She's kind of a big deal, I think. Even if Connection doesn't make finals, I might stay and just watch finals because it's going to be an INCREDIBLE finals lineup. But I really want to make finals.
Despite Clinton beating Wheaton last night, I think that the closeness of the outcome only proves Attache's vulnerability. They definately seem beatable.
As a Spotlighter alum, I've been looking at Spots' chances of making finals here. Based a lot on reputations, but also from what I've seen this year, I think Clinton, Mitchell, Hastings, Bemidji, and Waconia are pretty solid for finals. (The first 4, mostly on reputation, Waconia from what I was at Milton) In my mind that leaves Spots fighting with Jefferson and Kennedy for the last finals spot.
All I know is that it is going to be an AMAZING day of show choir for the spectators. Bemidji, Bloomington Jefferson, Bloomington Kennedy, Hastings, Clinton, Janesville Craig, Mitchell, and Waconia - not to mention the host group Totino-Grace... that is nine show choirs that have the potential to win Grand Championships at many competitions across the country.
It looks to me like everyone who has actually made a listed prediction (not one that says "the top three could be any of these...") has put Clinton on top. Do you think there's a potential for a shakeup?
I definitely think it could go one of many different ways. Honestly, if you MADE me predict everything, I would agree with Greg (ghunt) on his predictions. But everything is going to be so close (like Chris said) that predicting is really just a guessing game.

I've never seen Clinton live, so I don't know much about them besides what I've heard through the grapevine. From what I understand, they're undefeated, correct? Does anyone think that any of the choirs competing against Clinton really has the potential to beat them?
here or in general?
Yes, here i do believe that Mitchell has a chance to beat them.
And if Totino were able to compete against Clinton i would say there could be a good chance they would beat them too.
Clinton is beatable, but they are a very very very good choir.
I can't make predictions cause I feel like it will all be VERY close. And i think a lot closer then anyone thinks too.

The Ethan Price predicted that Mitchell would take Grand Champion and Best Choreography.

Though I do believe that I am the only one who has anyone but Clinton on top
