Kennedy cleaned up over Elkhorn South and Mitchell at O'Gorman, while Jefferson took a split-caption decision ahead of Millard South at Vermillion.

Only one weekend on the calendar sees two competitions in South Dakota. Let's preview both the Sioux Falls O’Gorman Standing O and Vermillion Rhythm In Red Invitational on this busy Saturday.

A consistently deep field gathers in the Cornhusker capitol, two national powers reprise last year’s meeting a bit earlier in the season, several quality choirs make their way to Sioux Falls, the Minnesota season starts at Bloomington Kennedy, and a late addition makes Ankeny Centennial a sleeper field to watch.

Plus Emerald Elegance scores one for the girls, O'Gorman hits the win column for the first time this decade, and Johnston adds a win in Kansas.

Ankeny Centennial, Aberdeen Central, Sioux Falls Washington and Sioux Falls Roosevelt all took steps forward at Cavalier Classic.

The Center Stage Invitational will now be the closing event for the South Dakota show choir season.

Gretna East closed out their season on a high note, while Omaha South achieved their best finish of the season.

A few choirs from Minnesota and Iowa also took their moments in the limelight as well.

When weather forced The Headliners to a last-minute scramble, they capitalized on the opportunity to win a fourth Best of Show title.

Washington's comp is one of the longest-running in South Dakota. True to form, the contest will feature most of the other local powers.

From Burke to Ralston, craziness reigned everywhere on Saturday.

Each competition - Burke, Gretna, Lincoln High, and Ralston - features a marquee matchup at the top.

All of the usual players will be jostling for position once again in a tight (but crowded) South Dakota show choir scene.

Behind the Big Five large show choir schools sit a handful of dedicated small groups - O'Gorman, Harrisburg, Vermillion and Dell Rapids.
