Time for our lone upper midwest representation and the band who's traveled the furthest distance for this super regional (i think). We have a good sea of red in the middle section for Lincoln all the while. Great crowd!

Okay. You're crazy. CJB did perform their show well today. How much have they improved since Toledo? They has a pretty rough run from what I saw at Toledo. Not sure if it was Toledo, but compared to the early-season video I saw they were much improved. They were very rough around the edges early season, including some major tempo issues across the ensemble (particularly in the closer). They seem to have worked on it quite a bit and looked great this morning. Still a little wild with front to back tempo concerns at times, but major improvements.

Well I wonder if it will hold up.

Lincoln sounds really terrific, but 'Pure Imagination' was one of those overused songs of several years ago that probably would have had a count... but it reminds me of my favorite use of Pure Imagination: I can't remember what year, but it was Lake Central, and they had the guard in multicolored outfits that concealed their faces. I loved that show. Pretty sure it made GN finals.

Awesome job Lincoln! Had a bit of a musical tear after the horn soloist but recovered quickly & nicely. The ensemble hit at the end of "In Your Eyes" gives me chills everytime. I really hope we'll be seeing them again tonight.

Petition to extend the number of finalist bands to 20? I’m going to be so disappointed no matter who makes it to finals tonight because there are so many deserving groups who are going to miss out.

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. 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. I don't know if they fixed something or are trying to fix things, but I just noticed I can tab out now without it pausing.

Nice Job Parkway South! I liked the Meta elements in the opener and the "looping" flute duet throughout the ballad!

What a great block the midday block was! Personal rankings that hold no weight:
1. Lincoln 2. Lakota West 3. Choctaw 4. Columbus 5. Beavercreek 6. North Hardin 7. Northrop 8. Windsor 9. Terre Haute South Vigo 10. Leo 11. Parkway South
I feel Lakota West was the best sounding group of the bunch, but I think Lincoln makes up for it with a stronger visual and GE package. Again, just a personal opinion, no weight in the outcome 😂

I think we all got amnesia and forgot that Kettering Fairmont was 0.9 away from finals last year, and they made a strong case for tonight with that run!

If anyone at Lucas Oil Stadium has sneaked a peek at the finals draw board and could share it that would be much appreciated.

Props to Yukon's music arranger for finding a new way to arrange Dancing in the Dark, such a deviation from what bands tend to do with that piece. Great run, Yukon!
EDIT: It's not listed in their selections, but I could've sworn I heard it during the ballad.

Yukon’s show has really grown on me this season. Love the props, love the music, love the group! Maybe a little bit of sound weirdness coming through on BOX5 but such a solid run! Definitely a lot to be proud of!
