Well, June. We have Vegas for two more years. Then we go to St. Louis in 18. New Orleans in '19 and Louisville for 2020.

Joan

12:57

St. Louis?

Tommy

12:57

Best competing lead???

Benjamin Edwards

12:58

Hmm. Maybe Nikki Blackmer.

Again, I'd say Ashley Wright until this last year, Tommy.

There are some fantastic leads competing now. Ashley Espinoza from Windsor

Two-time queen from Heat, Susan Ives

June

How many choruses go to intl?

Benjamin Edwards

1:01

34. 24 regional winners and 10 wild cards

Who do you think, Tommy?

Tommy

1:01

Windsor will be interesting to see how they do this year. Cute quartet and sings well.

Benjamin Edwards

1:01

No way do they fall out of the top 5.

If they stay together, they will be queens before the end of the decade.

Tommy

1:04

I wonder about that. Lots of good quartets this year. I see a huge shake up,

Benjamin Edwards

1:04

Think so? who are your top 5?

Lisa

1:04

How do you think GQ will shake up the ten? what about the other high scoring regional quartets from this year?

Benjamin Edwards

1:05

GQ will be fantastic. Easy top ten.

So many are new. Thats tough.

1:06

Glamour should do well

Tommy

1:07

I like the two high regional scoring winners, I also am hearing a big change in what HEAT is doing and they do have two singers that have come from 7th place and jumped all the way up to 1st.

Benjamin Edwards

1:08

Heat could win it any year. I think its all about song choice with them.

Joan

1:09

I agree Ben Nikki is fabulous!

Benjamin Edwards

1:09

I think this might be their year.

1:10

I've predicted correctly 3 years in a row...:)

Frenzy, that is.

Tommy

1:10

I agree. They in the past have sung some tough songs that most quartets couldn't even sing and the judges have a hard time to score. If they go back to the easier songs, they should be a big surprise

Benjamin Edwards

1:11

Heat certainly has the talent and experience.

Tommy

1:12

I see Frenzy as second again.

Benjamin Edwards

1:12

Who is your #1?

Tommy

1:12

I think if HEAT doesn't do it this year, there will not be another
