The response was so great last year when we had them for the first time, we decided to bring them back.

I would estimate we had a crowd of between 700 and 800. It was crazy. These guys bring a refreshing kind of act to Quincy. Those who have seen it in St. Louis say it is just fabulous. It's for all adult age groups.

The two musicians use no sheet music, play personal requests and interact with the crowd. They're a blast.

It felt great to compete in the floor finals for the first time this season because I really made it a goal of mine coming into this year. I hope to be back here next year competing again for a national title.

They're not necessarily connected to a period of time. Each had a significant period that peaked and waned.

We had a hard time with that. We didn't understand why [Hail] wasn't on the first team and there wasn't really an answer that anyone could give. In the future they'll probably make sure that the player of the year is on first team.
