All of MDI's soloists earned One Plus rankings, (the highest award, short of the outstanding vocalist trophy).

One of the judges commented

"I don't always know exactly what is going on in your shows, but I don't care, it's just so beautiful."

Another judge commented that MDI's Show Choir  had

"Absolutely hit it out of the park." "The show was a complete stunner!"

Director Bronwyn Kortge said,

"And the judges' scores definitely reflected that. Three 99s is close to unprecedented; I'll be astonished if we didn't earn the highest score in the state."
