So far I’m so impressed with Masons brass 😍 last year it felt like they weren’t as confident but I feel that power this year. Wow I honestly don’t have words. They sound fantastic. And I literally just played Sid Meyers’s civ 6 last week, so my inner nerd came out

Mason's first couple of minutes: Wonderful. That entire intro seems like it so perfectly sets the stage, and the concert tubas up front make so much sense for the powerful low brass impact that moment needed.
Middle of Mason's show: Box5 strikes again. I constantly get playback errors, refresh, and IMMEDIATELY get another playback error after a few seconds. I'm at peak frustration at this point, and both support e-mails I've sent to Box5 have fallen on deaf ears with absolutely no response. I guess I shouldn't be surprised after last year's GN fiasco.
Mason's last couple of minutes: Signs of a really powerful ending, but low brass needs more control. I'm torn with that last statement, as I feel like they sound much more confident and more powerful than last year, but scaling it back just a bit may be necessary. The guard staging is a bit strange for pockets of the ending as they seem to take a back seat for a large period of time in a really impactful moment. Curious if that stays as-is going into GN.

LMAO I thought someone playing bari in Adam Central had a great set of lungs, but it was just the microphone issue for a whole minute plus.
But great story telling from them, and nice playing. I couldn't see everything because of the screen keeping on freezing.

Franklin Community has very similar uniforms to Deer Creek. Different colors and the details might be a little different

Oh wow Lockport! What a step up from last year.

What a huge improvement from Lockport. I was sad to see how they rebounded after 2020 as I thought they had a real shot at being a GN finalist after their 2017-2019 run. Glad to see they're getting back on track!

Why are Avon and Carmel always in the same block? Do the directors want it or something else?

This is the first time I've noticed Center Grove isn't marching tubas. Overall I liked their show. I definitely could see them getting a second performance tomorrow.

Nice Center Grove! Tough lineup to be against but they made a solid argument for finals

My field level opinion: Music - Carmel, Avon/Mason too close to call Visual - Avon, Carmel/Mason too close to call GE - Mason, Avon/Carmel too close to call

Guys, I think Carmel is also going to make finals.
But seriously, this feels like I'm watching a professional wind ensemble on a football field. I honestly cannot think of any higher praise than that.
