As an SCC special, I have decided to give only SCCers access to a special blog. A semi-live blog. I will update this throughout the day. I have tried, and will continue to try to updatge this from Urbandale High School with no luck, so I am forced to update it from my hotel some 5 miles away.
Ok so:
1st Ankeny
2nd Totino
3rd CR Kennedy
4th Linn-Mar
5th Johnston
6th Waukee
And for finals it is the reverse order with Waukee going first and Ankeny performing last and also Ankeny got best band and best male soloist and female soloist.
Ankeny is ..... Amazing!
Congratulations to all and good luck!

I just got a text from a Johnston mom:
Prelims
1) Ankeny, best male solo, best female solo, best band
2) Totino Grace
3) CR Kennedy
4) Linn-mar
5) Johnston
6) Waukee
Congrats to Johnston Innovation. This makes 20 finals appearances in the past 21 years at Urbandale, and 18 years in a row for that matter!
From the looks of things - it appears it will soon be Ankeny's 3rd GC this year... guess we'll find out later tonight!
wow congrats to Ankeny they totally deserve that!!! and CR Kennedy too that's awesome!! Johnston really bumped it up too. Kennedy is the only group I didnt get a chance to see I really wish i would have now!! Good luck to all of these groups in finals!!

So we just arrived at this competition and all I was able to see so far was Ankeny prep and they were amazing and I'm sure varsity will be just as amazing too! I am so excited to perform! The hosts are amazing also!
Hmmmm I've seen about half of these groups so I think this will be really interesting! Let's see how my predictions hold (i'll update them after each round if there's wireless)....
Best Vocals: Ankeny
Best Choreography: Ankeny
Best Band: Totino-Grace
I've seen Ankeny, Totino-Grace, Papillion-LaVista, and Grand Island Senior High. Ankeny and Totino will be good enough for finals, but based on what I know of the other groups I don't think Papio or GISH will make finals. Papillion doesn't have the energy, and GISH doesn't have any kind of vocals, but their choreography is hot! Totino for Best Band. Ankeny will blow your mind in finals....
I'm hoping to be able to come... Good luck to all the groups!

My predictions-
Grand Champion- Ankeny
1st Runner Up- Totino Grace
2nd Runner Up- Cedar Rapids Kennedy
3rd Runner Up- Johnston
4th Runner Up- Linn Mar
5th Runner Up- Waukee
Best Vocals- Ankeny
Best Choreography- Ankeny
Best Band- Totino Grace
I almost put Johnston 2nd Runner Up... we shall see! I feel like Waukee could maybe place higher too. Good luck to all groups! Especially Totino. I'll be sending warm fuzzies and thinking about this competition from La Crosse!
Mr. Woodin and Mr. Temple... keep an eye on Ana... she may infect everyone with scarlet fever.
Sounds good to me. I am hoping to leave in approximately 7 and a half hours and I still have to pack and print directions. Oh well, thanks to Mr. Woodin, at least I don't have to mapquest them.
