I haven't talked much about all the different show choirs there are in the United States (don't know if there are any in China..?) so I think I should give a little background on the ones I know.
Okay, so basically show choir is a national thing that most states have a variety of different ones included in them. Our city alone has about five, so you can probably guess that there are aloooot more in just one state. Throughout my years as a show choir member, I've only seen groups from as far as, well probably, Minnesota, so I haven't seen much. When we do see the Minnesota groups, though, some of them are REALLY good.
One Minnesota group in particular is Totino Grace; probably the best show choir I've ever seen live. We saw them at one of our competitions we were at and I almost fainted with aweness (?). The dances they did were just spectacular! All these different things going on at the same time, and to top it off, they could sing. I don't mean sing, I mean SING. As soon as their mouths open, you heard this sound like the angels from heaven were singing. Ugh it was so good!!!!
Although Totino is amazing and quite possibly impossible to beat, we rarely compete against them so they aren't technically our main competition. If I had to pick a group that is our "main rival", it'd have to be Urbandale.
I'm not for sure how long we have been competing against them, but I do know that for years and years, its been us... and them... till the end! The quality of their show is almost exactly like ours, and they even have the same choreographer as us. When we go to our competitions, and they are there competing as well, the day ends up with us and them having scores with only a couple points difference. Basically, they are really good and we all become extra happy if we ever actually beat them.
