HUGE fan of Hernando. Great theme, tight design, stellar guard, and fantastic music. I'm especially impressed with their subdued use of "Metropolis 1927." All too often, especially post-SCV 2018, Metropolis is used as a bombastic closer. Hernando's more light-headed approach to the score allowed the beauty of the chords to shine through. Stunning adaptation.
AND SPEAKING GREAT SONG SELECTION. The use of Florence x the Machine's "Shake It Out" as an 11th hour flute solo is INSPIRED. Especially because the lyrics in the section of the song they chose to adapt begin with "regrets collect like old friends..." Fitting into the vintage motif perfectly. Bravo, Hernando

That trio in BW's ballad was gorgeous. The flute was just the right amount of brightness to counter-balance the darkness of the low brass.

looks like there are poorly drawn old spray paint lines next to the official yard lines
hopefully that doesn't throw off any marchers and cause visual dirt

HEY WAIT I KNOW THOSE FLAGS The opener flags were also used in the opener of another iconic "train" show, being the Woodlands' 2013 Grand National Champ-winning "Crossing Boundaries" in case anyone was wondering

I've performed at St. Louis before and I remember cutting my marching shoes on broken glass in the warm up lot haha only stadium worse that I went to was Cedar Falls. That concrete fishbowl was the worst listening environment I've ever seen
