Centerville! Excellent showing! I am obsessed with each of the guard’s flags matching their individual uniform in the closer

Wow I'm not always a huge Centerville fan but I loved that show, definitely top 20 for me. I wouldn't be completely shocked to see them in finals, but competition is so stiff.

srv1084 - "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." Box5 Video Resolution Quality has been such an L for me this year. Contacted so many times and it's yet to be addressed. Not surprised that this has happened with you. I finally got a response on attempt number 3. Judging from the title of the e-mail I received in response, "Re: {Spam?} New submission from Contact Form", it appears any submissions on their site are being labeled as spam in their support inbox. Really top-notch support system if that's the case. I was told they have no other support requests from me in their inbox, so my prior two submissions must have been filtered out as spam. In case you want the direct e-mail address, it's support@box5.com, though I must warn you I've gotten absolutely nowhere in resolution. The response I just got was: "Do you have any adblockers or any extra extensions on your browsers? Also, please try clearing your cache and then hitting shift+refresh to do a hard refresh. You may always want to try uninstalling and then reinstalling your browser as well just in case there is any unknown blockers or anything." This is after I informed them that I even tried downloading a brand new browser, with no adblockers or extensions, for the sole purpose of seeing if Box5 could function appropriately. No cache to clear and a brand new install, yet those are somehow the first trouble-shooting items. Still no resolution in sight, and I'm clearly not the only one having this issue based on your post.

Silly O’Fallon, today’s Saturday, not Wednesday!
That was marvelous!! I loved the use of umbrellas throughout. Every band member having their own umbrella at the end was so extra and I loved it

I had to miss a bit of OFT for work but from what I saw, this is one of the best hornlines they've ever had. They sounded amazing!

Not that my opinion holds any weight towards the outcome, but my personal rankings of block 1 from my seat:
1. O'Fallon Township 2. Centerville 3. Lincoln-Way Community 4. Pleasure Ridge Park 5. Bullitt East 6. Colerain 7. Dayton Christian
Great start to the day!

Aside from it annoyingly logging you out every now and then when you switch regionals, I personally haven't had any issues with the player itself using Edge. If it's just a me thing then I guess I got lucky, but hope it'll work for someone else lol

In addition to the playback errors I'm getting, it does also log me off randomly every couple of hours. It's just baffling to me that some of these issues are seemingly widespread for multiple years now and there's no acknowledgement or information in the FAQs. The random log-outs is even more surprising as it feels like that should be an easy resolution. I never thought I'd say that I prefer Flo. Edit: Box5 support just asked me to TURN OFF MY FIREWALL to see if that helps. Is this real life?

I'm definitely biased because I grew up in the next town over from Windsor, but I am blown away by the difficulty and design of their show this year. And I'm glad to see them performing the show so well. Great job Windsor, see you next week!

Ah, Capitalism at its finest.

I'm not watching right now but I have a whole home security turned on via my Breezeline internet and I've had certain streaming services like the free Stirr app get blocked and not work until I go into the settings and allow a specific ad server access.

I was told the reason for my issues when I've contacted them, is because they've switched the player they use to stream the BOA Events. Don't know when this happened, but my guess is they started using this "new" player during Grand National Finals last year, because the issues I'm having now are the same I had during that night. The only week that I've not had issues with was Week 2. They used the old player that week and I had no issues. Got to watch Madison Central,Vandegrift and Vista Ridge with no issues. Then Week 3 rolls around and the issues are back and this "new" player is back again. I contacted them yesterday to ask if they could use the old player to stream again cause I'm having so many video resolution quality issues with this "new" player. I'm hopeful that I'll have some sort of help from them on this in the future, but honestly feel like I've gotten no where. Probably not buying the BOA Pro-Pass next year if this continues to be an issue for me. I like Box5 but I'm just disappointed this year especially because I didn't have ant issues during the last two years.

Lakota West killed it out there. Love the musical arrangement of Zarathustra and Enigma Variations. They definitely made a case for finals for themselves but it will be close. Call me crazy but I have Centerville a bit ahead of them right now.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyways. Because bees don't care what humans think is impossible

Choctaw was great. The musicality from the performers was off the charts and the show was really high demand. Bee themes are not new but they gave it enough originality that I enjoyed it a lot. No matter what happens they should be proud of that one.

They had a pretty rough run from what I saw at Toledo. Interested to see if they will make or miss finals in the very competitive regional.
