GC: Linn-Mar 10th Street Edition (Sweep)
1st RU: Carmel Ambassadors
2nd RU: Brandon Brio
3rd RU: Wheaton North Flight
4th RU: Mt. Zion Swingsations
5th RU: Millard North Infinity
Although I could see Ambassadors taking Best Vocals, I am sure Linn-Mar 10th Street Edition will take Choreography. Last year at Chesterton, Carmel Ambassadors lost Choreography to both Brandon Brio and Marysville Swingers Unlimited while still winning the competition, which shows Carmel's strength in their vocal talents. I am unsure of any placements below 2nd RU but am excited to see how this competition plays out.
It's fine you have confidence in 10th street with good reason but your original comment was a tad bit cocky. Especially going to a heavy traditional show choir state against good competition. When any competition is scored by judges you can never be too confident.
No one is hating on Linn-Mar or any other group. Your comment was inappropriate and embarrassing. No matter how good you think you are you are never more deserving than anyone else in any other group. Assuming your group is going to make finals when there are many amazing groups attending the competition is very out of line and posting that publicly is making you look bad. You are not apart of 10th street and you can’t speak for them or their show. I’ve been apart of Linn-Mars show choir program for 4 years and I would still never say that our “reputation” will get us anywhere. There is no advantage to having people know about your group other than getting to share our show and story. In the end it doesn’t matter what happens at the competition, we don’t preform so we can get a trophy, or a metal, or posting on instagram that your team won another competition. We preform because we love the sport and preforming our shows. You need to think about what you post on here and how it makes us all look.
There is also being supportive of all the groups performing and winning or losing with class. People sometimes resent teams who win a lot. If your arrogant on top of that all your doing is putting a target on your back and a bad reputation which is the opposite of what the directors and parents want.
i'm sorry for being cocky, i just wanted to make some predictions and it didnt go as well. and yes, i know linn-mar enjoys the sport, and other groups are just as talented. carmel's show choir is super talented, and they are super good as well. please stop hating on linn-mar, i didn't expect it to go so far, and all groups are just as good as anybody else, and each individual group has their own talents, and it'll truly just come to what the judges think on the final verdict.
i posted it stupidly, and take all the blame for it. i didn't mean to make any group look bad at all, and all groups are very talented.
i'm sorry for any controversy caused because of me and feel free to blame me for anything, and also feel free to trash talk me.

I have a friend of mine that just saw Linn-mar's preview night and I can tentatively say that the reign of 10th street is over. Yes I have confidence that they will improve in the next month but allegedly, Linn-mar has no ballad! You better believe that Carmel is going to bring out the big guns on their ballad and I think this time Carmel's vocals are going to overpower 10th street's amazing choreography. But only time will tell. Wishing luck to all choirs who compete at Chesterton this season!
Linn-Mar is truly remarkable for competing at the highest level without a ballad. It sounds like they're revolutionizing show choir as we speak. Just imagine if they did add a ballad before this competition... it would almost seem unfair to the other choirs attending.
I completely agree with you that Linn-Mar has perfected the story-show genre of show choir but it is important to keep in mind that Carmel is new competition to Linn-mar. I guess we will have to see.
I attended the preview show in December. 10th Street does have a ballad. It included choreography so it may have passed some people by as not a ballad but their show does include a ballad. I would also say their vocal quality and sound while doing the choreography they do while singing throughout the show is amazing!
