Counterpoints finishes first in state finals
By Matt Hansen
On March 20 the Counterpoints placed first in the 2010 IHSAA Large School Mixed Show Choir State competition at Lawrence Central.
They were also awarded with Best Visuals and Best Instruments. This is the Counterpoints fourth state championship since the start of the show choir state competition in 2005.
“Heck yes, the Counterpoints defiantly deserved to win,” sophomore Samantha Harms said, “They stepped up and got the win.”
Harms was impressed by Carroll’s dancing especially their step style dancing song.
“Carroll did well but obviously didn’t perform well enough to win,” Harms said, “That’s why they got third.”
Carroll along with Ben Davis were looked at to be competition for Counterpoints during the state competition.
“People always have high expectations for us coming into the competition but we were never really looked at as being behind anyone going in,” senior Counterpoint Ian Williams said.
Williams agrees with Harms that Counterpoints deserved to win.
“The performance was our best performance all year long,” Williams said, “Our visuals and dancing was a lot better than what we expected. We won because of our visuals.”
Williams is happy that Counterpoints won the competition but he thinks that winning isn’t always the best.
“I think the biggest thing for us is doing our best,” Williams said, “It doesn’t matter if we didn’t win as long as we did our best.”
