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. Yes, at RR last weekend it was announced as New World by Bjork, which I guess is technically the name of the song. I think? |

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

That was a wild ride from Union. They seemed pretty amped up and that performance threatened to go off the rails a couple of times, but they always pulled it back in quickly. I see them as a bubble group, but I would never bet against Union!

Love me some Union! Proud of those kids and the struggle they've been through the last few years. It is so exciting to see them come out here and do their thing. Excellent job! The props are so cool!

Southmoore has a wheelchair-bound performer being pushed by a staff member in their show. I love that they went out of their way to include that student!

SOUTHMOORE! That was sooooo good! A lot of heart went into that performance, and I hope you just landed yourselves a spot in finals. Very very nicely done!!

I have a grandson in a wheelchair and seeing that made me almost lose it. On a side note, I was just talking with one of the Southmoore staff in the Director's Viewing Area and he told me that the person pushing the student is their Band Director! Southmoore has a new lifelong fan! |

With this many bubble bands delivering great performances prelims results are just going to be depressing.
speaking of which, LETS GO GRAIN VALLEY!

There is... but looking at the "groups" that were posted Avon will probably be one of the first "top" bands performing, so around the 8/9 spot.. at least that's the way I was figuring it. Could be totally wrong though... wouldn't be the first time. |

A bit of a rough start for Grain Valley, musically at least, but once it got settled they were pretty good. Squarely on the bubble for tonight.

Hate to say it, but it was a rough run for GV. I'm still rooting for them to perform again tonight, but they're not a sure thing like a lot of predictions were saying.

Now that we’ve gotten through all Oklahoma invasion except deer creek, what are we thinking for finals?
I personally really enjoyed Bixby! And think they should be a lock.

Union is a definite lock, Yukon & Bixby are more likely in than out, and I'd say it's a coinflip whether or not Southmoore is in. |
