BENTONVILLE! That just blew me away. In the same way that OBA froze my whole body, Bentonville warmed my heart That guard is crazyyyy and that hornline is on FIRE! If we don't see them 3 times in Indy, I will be surprised. Just WOW. Hoping y'all bring home the gold tonight!! Bravo!!

Also, big shout out to that drumline. The level of maturity and conviction in their playing is astounding. They may have punched some holes through those drumheads tonight!

Wow…it’s no wonder why Bentonville is such a juggernaut in their state. Blown away.

Sunflowers have a personal significance to my family and I, so to see Bentonville blow the roof off the Dome with a sunflower-themed show puts a smile on my face

Love the positive energy that Bentonville exudes throughout their show. Glorious! So needed in this day and age. And amazing talent across the band.

Rosemount saved their best run for last. Amazing job, Rosemount! A great end to an historic season!
Like I said yesterday, keep an eye on them next year at Grand Nationals!

I liked that Rosemount show a lot! I'm definitely not in my seat though, a big standing O from my couch in Oklahoma! I love those music choices, and they were beautifully performed. Great job!!

Wish there was more emotional essence to Rosemount’s show but they march and play it very well. I just can’t help but wonder where they would be with a show that SAYS something. They’re outperforming the concept by a mile.

Bentonville is a tough act to follow, but from my seat here at the 35, Rosemount did a hell of a job. These finals are really strong top to bottom.

They’re outperforming the concept by a mile. BIG agree with this. Their potential is much larger than the scope of their show. I'm absolutely vibrating with excitement over what they bring to the table next year

They’re outperforming the concept by a mile. I totally agree. I think the show itself is what holds them back, not their performance of it. Throw a show like BA or Mason usually has, and Rosemount would be unstoppable!

I remember sitting at GN last year mesmerised by how many talented bands there are in this country and how so many people here in the south have no idea. I remember thinking so many times, “it’s a shame I don’t get to see - insert band name here - in person more”. Rosemount was one of those bands. I’m not a trained judge by any means, but in my opinion this year is even better.

They have that clean, over-sanitized, "BOA"-ness to them. I totally know what you mean - I've felt the same way about Morton's shows as of late tbh. Like they've been specifically tailored to appeal to both the widest audience possible and specifically BOA judges at the same time. Not really saying much, but looking and sounding pretty. It's part of what makes me love Marian Catholic so much - you can tell that emotionality is the primary goal in their show design.

I guess you could say I "love" that show from Southlake Carroll. Also props to SLC for being one of the only groups marching a cymbal-line tonight.

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 this stadium is a HOT MESS EXPRESS! I’m pretty sure the bond supporting stadium maintenance has matured and there is next to no money for it now. I’m interested to see if the BattleHawks are gonna stick around when the XFL and USFL finish their merger.
