Hi, I didn't sleep enough this weekend. Twas a weekend of 3 basketball games surrounding 18 hours of show choir Aaron Nuss was not at the event. I accidentally opened up our scores for Linn-Mar instead.
I'm going to assume that Best Band was determined off of finals scores. Either points or Ordinal Consensus- not sure which, but it doesn't matter as all judges had Central winning.
(FYI, there was a bit of an error with the scoresheets given to us. It looks like the "Instrumental Scores" were accidentally copied and pasted into the "Presentation Scores" on the sheet we got. Simple spreadsheet error. The instrumental category is worth less points than Presentation, so that's how I noticed. HOWEVER, the "Total Scores" all match up for our individual group scores, so there were no errors with placings or anything like that. I was able to figure out the Presentation scores by doing subtraction. There was NO ERROR in final results, just one of the categories on ONE of the sheets given to us.)
I just wanted to add that we had a FANTASTIC day at Big Dance. The North parents, staff, and students were all SO helpful and kind all day. The directors lounge was comfortable and well-stocked. Critiques and comments were all thoughtful and fair, and I think the results were fully correct, based on what I saw and heard. The depth of this competition was really great- it was wonderful to see all different kinds of shows and choreographers. Kudos on a well-run day!

It looks like Best Band was awarded during Finals Awards. We were not given a composite for those scores, but on the Finals Score Sheet it says CSI won Best Band. (fully unsurprising)
Finalists were determined by Ordinal Consensus of ranks.
Central Singers, Inc. 1 1 1
AcaPella 2 2 5
Momentum 3 3 3
Entourage 4 4 2
Muscatine 5 5 4
VIvant 6 6 9
Bettendorf 7 10 6
Fort Madison 8 7 9
Blue Vibrations 10 9 7
Celebration 9 11 8
North Polk 11 12 11
Bravo 12 8 12
They are listed in Open Class on the schedule. I'm sure that they could've chosen to compete in 3A if they wanted, just like Pella could choose to compete in the Open Class.
