Yeah, Waubonsie and Morton are some serious threats now

Morton has been something special for the last few years. WV is a surprise, but it's not a big shock. It's a good program out there

Morton has been consistently hitting it out of the park for the last 4-5 years - complex show concepts and execution have been top notch.

 

WV, since I graduated in '03 has had a director change '05 or '06 i think and went through redistricting in '09 with metea valley opening up in district 204. '06 was possible Matt Temple's last year (now at New Trier) and that put them 5th that year in ISU. Josh Chodoroff Took over after that and i would guess went through a financial reconstruction of the program (no out of state comps in 5-6 years now). The fine arts program there is one of the strongest in the state, sending a lot of kids to IMEA state festivals with nationally ranked choirs and drama programs. i

Agreed...but after seeing them this weekend, I'd say they are a notch up on where they've been in recent years.

Bringing back this thread, who has rose the most in 2012?

Lakes Community, by far.

[Renegade4196 0]

I think Lakes Community obviously, Morton, who has rose to even a higher level, and John Hersey, who have become strong competitors. I also think Lemont, UT and Plainfield North have made significant improvements throughout this season as well

[ManInThePlanet 1]

I think Plainfield North has come very far in the past few years as well. They're going to be a real force in the years to come, I think.

[saxyman 52]

Glenbrook South has my vote.

Where's the love for Batavia?

 

Marching Bulldogs have done pretty well the last few seasons!
