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. To me, I would say it felt like Union is a definite lock, Bixby is just a lock, and Yukon and Southmoore are coinflips. I would also throw Choctaw into the more likely out than in but still bubble group. The thing working for Choctaw is that they are in a different panel than the rest, but I would say it's somewhat unlikely they randomly pull out top 5. Would have to knock Lincoln out of that spot in my mind.

Great job by all the bands so far!!!
This is an "out there" question, but I'm volunteering at finals tonight... has anyone ever volunteered for BOA? I think we get a t-shirt to wear, and that's cool. But do we change and lock up our belongings? For some reason I have this feeling I'm going to be stuck in the battery warm up with my walk in shirt and jacket in a pile on the floor! (I know, random!)

(I know, random!) you can bring a clear bag to put your stuff in, or wear a long sleeve shirt and put the T over. It has been running a tad warm in here though. You’ll keep your belongings with you…

I know we have a couple more bands to go, but based on what I've seen and from what others have said, here's my initial list of 14 in no specific order:
Avon Carmel Castle Fishers William Mason O'Fallon Township Union Lincoln-Way Community Lincoln Lakota West Bixby Centerville Center Grove Kettering Fairmont
I can also see Choctaw, Yukon and Southmoore making their way in too

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! Case in point, Deer Creek's ballad.

I would be shocked to see them out, but I have been shocked in this exact way before. I’m not sure about the music and visual. I have them squarely in on GE, though.

Deer Creek has got some musical chops! Whatever happens today, I think they've got a bright future if they stay the course.

Oh haiiii everyone. Been a hot second. If you've been following the live blog today, you know that I've been doing the high pictures most of the past two days. I'll be doing more written commentary tonight so you'll be able to glean into the positive part of my mind. Who is going to be the bands that represent all of these groups? Excellent question as we do have pretty clear line in a couple spots. However, when we start to get to the bubble, that's when it all gets predictably, unpredictable. I'll have a ranking list but only my top 30 like in a Semi-Finals. Like I said, it's been a busy two days and I'm already tired. If you were wondering about what happened to me last week, I happened to get married to my beautiful life partner, Autumn. I would upload some pictures but just have no clue how on this platform. If I learn though, I'll create a new thread for them Just a few more bands to go today! It's been another amazing year with so many groups surprising and continuing to improve. Yeah I'm talking to several of the perpetually stuck in Neutral/Mediocre groups. Love the progress of catching up with the times and improving.

Deer Creek! I continue to be soooo impressed with the rapid growth seen in this group. If you look up a video of Deer Creek just a few years ago, you would think it’s a different school. Fantastic job!! And thank you for making it that much harder to predict who’s going to make finals lol
