I love O’Fallons show. And I love our Bentonville’s show. I’m biased 😊 AND it’s wonderful. What a night it will be! 🌻

Fantastic run from MC. They're still world class in my book. Small but mighty 💪

Admittedly I didn’t see O’Fallon tonight nor have I seen them this season. Comparatively speaking, against their last two years, it seems like they’ve stepped it up a notch this year based on what I’ve read. Would that be the general consensus here?

From a purely design standpoint, this years show is leaps and bounds ahead of last year's. Strong, culturally-relevant IP, great costume/set/flag designs, and excellent music selection.

Really creative use of swing flags in the Germantown ballad, might just turn me into a believer.
Also, whoever is in charge of picking their rep deserves a raise and a bonus. All killer no filler.

Good luck to all the finalist, best wishes from the wedding I’m apart of. Hoping my Alma Mater takes it home after getting 2nd I think about every year since my freshmen year. Go Blue Springs! 💜💛

I enjoy this Blue Springs South show very much. I have enjoyed watching their show grow this year; From watching them win the Bentonville Marching Invitational to a strong performance at Renegade Review in Tulsa (sat next to one of the drum major’s parents who were so nice), to two great runs in St. Louis Super Regionals. Especially love the Jazzy scene! Well done BSS!💙

Fun show, Blue Springs South! I especially liked the first half - felt like there could have been more marching in the jazz section and the finale felt oddly out of place. But the first half was electric and so exciting! Kudos to a great performance!
(edit: Blue Springs South lol)

I may have snuck over here to watch Hernando given some of the positive comments from earlier, and wow! They're not exactly a big band, but they sound huge and play SO well as an ensemble. They were also very, very clean. Hernando's got a new fan.

Dang it! I love Hernando! We all need more Jazz and Big Band in our lives. Such a pleasure to watch.
