Dear Director:
Linn-Mar High School would like to extend a very warm and friendly welcome to Supernova 2020. We hope that all is going well for you during the early stages of your show choir season. We are excited to have you and your students participate in our invitational and hope that it provides an enjoyable experience that includes valuable feedback for your use in improving your performance. We have had a wonderful response from those wishing to participate.
During our Daytime Competition there will be three Scoring Judges who will use an objective scoring system to determine placement in the Ninth Grade, Unisex, Prep and Open classifications. There will be two clinic judges rotating to offer critiques to performing choirs in the day round immediately following their performances. There will be a Band Judge during the Prep and Open competitions to select the Best Band Caption for those two divisions. Our scoring judges will select the Best Female and Best Male Soloists in the Prep and Open Class Divisions during the day round. An additional judge and one of the Clinic Judges will join the three Scoring Judges to evaluate the Saturday evening finals. All groups are eligible for finals.
There will be two awards ceremonies at Supernova:
A ceremony following the daytime competition will present awards as follows:
- Ninth Grade Division – Ninth Grade Grand Champion
- Unisex Division – Unisex Division Grand Champion and 1st Runner-up
- Prep Division – Prep Grand Champion through 6th Runner-up, plus captions for Best Band, Best Choreography, Best Vocals, Best Female and Male Soloists in the Prep Division
