Massachusetts States '08

So, how about that open mic idea?
Any surprises as far as rankings go?

[maverick7]

Open Mic would be cool if they selected performers based on how they've done over the year... it doesn't make sense to let just any piece perform imo.

As for upsets? Lexa Gluck not breaking in DI would be the main one that comes to mind.

I wasn't surprised at DI results...I had seen most of the pieces and thought that Justine from NS should have won. What do you think about prose results?

[speechie91]

I was a fan of the DI results...but what about prose? wierd...

[Stephanie]

Prose was weird. I thought there were some people who should've been in finals who didn't even make it to semifinals. I like Alex Brodsky's piece a lot, though, and, considering how depressing the finals round pieces were, it's not surprising that his stood out to the judges.

Oh, and I was really happy with the HI results.

Wait, they're doing semis now?

wow, where was that when I had to compete against 8 million kids in prose at every tournament?

[magicj4n6]

[Josiahzacks]

just a guess, but I'd imagine that Palmer put them up at Massforensics.org

If you can't log in, just go back to tabroom > published tournaments results > (click back) then on the tournament you're looking for

If you have problems seeing them, I can post them, but not being from MA, I wouldn't know the pieces

[speechie91]

could you post them? I can't get into the link...

Did anyone else expect the 3rd place in both HI and Duo to win?

[magicj4n6]

does anyone know what the winning duo was? also did Mass. have their NFL qualifier yet?

[speechie91]

can someone post prose / poetry?

[Schadillac]

Okay, this is worth a try. Sorry if you guys totally hate me for crashing your thread but hey, it happens.

I'm from Colorado and I did Duo and USX this past year. We downed out in Semis with Bobby Wilson, and are already looking for a piece for next year. I want a new one though to introduce into our circuit. So all I want to know is:
- What are some of the best Duo pieces over on the East coast?
- Where can I find the cuttings/scripts?

Hit me up with a private message if you guys have answers. Thank you! Otherwise, sorry for crashing your thread. Peace.
