O'Fallon is only band at St. Louis that was also at Indy last weekend. They placed 5th in Finals at Indy, behind Carmel, Avon, Mason, Brownsburg, and Fishers. Competition in St. Louis isn't nearly as strong as Indy, so looking for O'Fallon to be at/near the top. I'm only 4 years into marching band competitions, so not like I'm some real judge! Slight correction, but Windsor and Grain Valley were also out in Indianapolis last week! 😊 After talking with ilikeguard about Grain Valley's circumstances in particular, don't count them out of the finals discussion quite yet! Given all she told me, the fact they placed in the top 25 in such a stacked field this past weekend is nothing to scoff at. She can give more info on that if she so wishes 😊 Oh, I missed Windsor and Grain Valley! Thanks for the correction. Yeah, maybe Grain Valley in finals...

Hernando. Drumline. Bass drums just went OFF. I am very critical of drumlines, even ones I’m connected to. Hernando’s line really impresses me with its consistently strong performances and high degree of difficulty. This is year three for our daughter and they just keep going as key players move on to college. And yeah, that bass line is always on and gets featured a lot because of it.

Pretty sure that Southlake flute soloist could've actually gotten air like a tiny helicopter or drone from the power of her playing. Amazing musician!

I like Carroll, it reminds of me of an old Westlake show from say 10 years ago. I can see why they didn’t advance to state because there is a definitely some visual dirt and the show lacks a bit of sparkle compared to last year. But overall it’s a great package

Southlake seems to always have such a lovely romantic quality or some soft whimsy to their shows. I really enjoy them.

I have Germantown above a few other Next 4 hopefuls. Maybe even over Carroll.

Grain Valley was very good! I loved the theme and the Queen songs. I did feel however, that the woodwinds were not featured like the brass was.
