I've been without a phone and internet access all night... so, I just slept through the night not knowing the results of this competition... until now! This of course being the first topic I checked.
I must say I saw Hart last year at FAME New York and was shocked at how good they were. I had never heard of them before at all. So congrats to them for a great Competition. And to go along with what was said before when Clinton Attache came to Crystal Classic last year, they were the nicest group I have seen. They had a lot of respect for everyone and were just excited to be there. So I can imagine how Polite they were when Hart won. I am sad though to see a streak ( that i dont think will ever be matched or defeated) end. But I bet those kids had there heads I and left with good feelings. Once again congrats to Hart and good luck for the rest of the season
Brett Carroll (Burbank director) called me from Indiana with the results like at 12am California time...
I could not believe my ears... The words out of my mouth was OMG like about 100 times! I need to see the Finals DVD ASAP!!!
I did speak with David Fehr last night after the results. And I must say... I have so much respect for that man and the students of Clinton! They took it with CLASS and dignity. Every show choir needs to learn from Clinton Attache on what professionalism is. I have heard horror stories (even seen some) on when someone loses or even beats someone on how rude and childish they have become and the things they've said or done. Very embarrassing and makes your whole school look BAD.
Clinton=Class and professionalism at it's finest. Fehr went to seek out Gail Hart after the results, he congratulated the Hart home room (while looking for Gail) and when he did find her, was sincere in his congrats to her.
(NOTE TO BELICHECK... YOU too can learn from this Mr. Hoodie! .... ie. See last Super Bowl walkout last several seconds)
Of course it is sad for Clinton to see their own streak end, but I know that those students still left the competition with smiles and that southern friendliness that the Attache students have always displayed. I have never seen Fehr brag about the winning streak, and since they do not post on scc... it was all of US who kept that streak on a untouchable level. Greatness to strive for!
It is now 7:45am.. I woke up and said.. OMG again! Still in shock here...
To my friends at Hart... This win has made your decade! Congrats a million times! We are proud here in California for your accomplishment! and Chula looks forward to seeing you in Hawaii as well!
I WANT SOMEONE WHO HAS VIDEO of GAIL HART's REACTION to get it on youtube RIGHT NOW!!!
Congrats to Clinton on the most spectacular streak show-choir has probably ever witnessed. Good luck as you go up against another California group in Chicago... John Burroughs! As well as the other big heavy hitters making the trek to the windy city! I know every group will be working so much in preparation for the "Battle of the Century" in Chicago!!!

Question: The school's name is Hart, and the director's name is Hart. Is this a performing arts school or a magnet school that was created for this purpose? Just wondering.
No, just a coincidence.
CONGRATULATIONS HART!
(both school, and director ;) )

Today, the sun has risen in the West.
On behalf of all the Burbank VMA parents, congratulations
to the great kids up the road at Hart on your victory at Sullivan.
Your incredible hard work the past two years has certainly paid off.
And you've made all of us in the SoCal show choir nation totally
freakin' proud!
(PS...will pay BIG BUCKS for the video of Gail Hart's reaction
when the awards were announced.)

Congrats to all.... Wow this would have been a sweet comp to go to... Clinton, Hart, EEE, Mt. Zion all in the top!! Well congrats to all and great job to Hart
so after pop show today the rumours started buzzing about the results from this competition, but nothing could be trusted. I'm standing there talking to Haakon and a bunch of people and all we can say is how we need to get home to check the real results. Wow. seriously unbelievable. Congratulations to everyone...and wow.
all i can think of is something Jen said to us right before Diamond Bar...wow...
Congratulations Hart =)
The city of Burbank (Burbank HS & John Burroughs HS[a bunch of us were at JBHS's Pop Show so the word spread like wildfire]) went wild at the news!
Great job Sound Vibes. You all were certainly "out on the prowl" and "dressed to impress"!
If I had enough flour and any baking skill whatsoever, I'd bake you all cookies.
I didn't think I would ever post anything on this site again, but I just got a text message from a friend of mine in Sound Vibes from Hart High School (CA) saying that they won grand champions over Clinton High School. So I just have to say, as a proud alumni of that group, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I never thought I would hear that Sound Vibes won in a midwest competition...especially over one of the greatest groups in the country... I'm happy to see that the western show choir circuit is gaining more and more respect over there. Especially groups like; In 'Sync (Burbank), Powerhouse (Burroughs), Sound Vibes (Hart), & The Main Attraction (Chula Vista)
