JMU Results, This is going to a long one, they only announce scores for the top 5 for each class(7 for AAAAA for osme reason)  so i will give my opinion on all shows that I saw so that you can gauge those that didnt get scores. Will include repitoire and names for all shows, they do not have composers listed though.  I missed all of A and half of AA because of not being able to get there early enough.  I will do class by Class because some of these may get long.
