Haha, Ragtime and Guys & Dolls aren't that similar I don't think... I'm sure Adam's mind was just totally messed up after listening to that ballad.
When you started singing your ballad, I immediately knew I was in for a ride. I love Ragtime, and you had already been singing so beautifully throughout the show. Needless to say I was not disappointed. Just an amazing wow factor vocally.

once you start loving it never goes away ... i've been addicted since 05... *sigh* I love that show.
Our ballad is actually from Ragtime, but they can be easily mixed up.
Sorry... I thought this was funny

Hey yall, I am going to apoligize for my old post. uneneccesary comments were made. I now know what to post or not post on this website. But I am going to voice that I think it was VERY rude when people said that the 2nd place group didnt deserve it when in actuality the placements were perfect. No one got screwed over at all. And it was not unfair judging at all. Clinton was better than riverside. Riverside was better than mitchell ( but i think it was close) And bemidgi was jsut a little bit better than waconia in my opinion. I thought that 3,4, and 5th place were all very close. Iheard that all the judges put riverside and clinton as 1 and 2. what is unfair about that? Everyone must have been super close. All the finals groups were top notch.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and just because your opinion matches the judges opinions doesn't mean that your opinions are any more valid. I realize that I just used the word "opinion(s)" four times in that sentence. But either way. There are people on here who could make a very strong case to support their opinions. Everyone's thoughts, as long as they are presented in a respectful way, need to be respected.
Thank you so much!

I know there is a lot of controversy/drama with the posts from our competition but I really hope everyone had a lot of fun yesterday and a positive experience (:
HEY KAITLIN I SAW YOU!
Lets say hi to each other at FAME chicago too.
Totino- AMAZING BALLAD. I'm not a huge guys and dolls fan at all but the songs from that show were still done so well that I couldn't help but get caught up. If you were competiting I would have given you best vocals for sure and you would have definitely given attache a run for their money lol.
Thank you so much!

This competition was so awesome! I have never before personally seen any competition that had that solid of finalists from top to bottom (my number 2 would be Linn-Mar 2009). Not to mention getting to see Totino.
I have been out of high school for a few years now but still continue to attend a comp here and there. But I can honestly say there has never been a group that made me want to get back up on the stage and be in high school more than Waconia. I had so much fun watching their show and if I would have been able to see anyone's show 1 more time I would have picked you guys!
Attache- Choreography is obnoxiously perfect. As a judge, I don't know where you would be able to take off any points at all. It was just so clean and precise. The first 20 seconds of the closer are amazing! I'm also a fan of the ballad. I did however find it interesting how often you featured one student (I believe his name is Nick?). Don't get me wrong, the kid is genius, but 6 times seemed quite a bit.
Hastings- I also had a blast watching your show. Especially the closer. I've never seen anything like it. I love how you prove to everyone how well you can sing chorally in the first 3 numbers and then entertain us and have fun with the last 2. I had you picked to win best vocals and it was well deserved.
Totino- AMAZING BALLAD. I'm not a huge guys and dolls fan at all but the songs from that show were still done so well that I couldn't help but get caught up. If you were competiting I would have given you best vocals for sure and you would have definitely given attache a run for their money lol.
Overall and awesome day. Congrats to all the groups that competed!
A fox walks into a bar and the bartender goes, "What are you having". The fox sits there silent because he is a fox, and the bartender is fined for having a wild animal in a public business without a permit.
This an old, old, old story that has been carried down from generation to generation, and I think you may have lost the real thing in translation. This is how I remember it...
A fox walks into a bar and the bartender goes, "What are you having". The fox screams "YOU!" and then fiercely devourers the bartender.
