Okay Walled Lake. I see you. Expected you to make semi finals but that was way better than I expected. Great job plus I’m a sucker for a good space show too. Thank you!

Walled Lake made some serious noise in MI this year, finishing just behind Rockford at State Finals. Excited to hopefully see both of them on Saturday.

Wow Taylor, the clarity in the hornline was excellent and the design was really smart! I loved their music choices!

Taylor HS I loved the stained glass concept. You have great sound for a smaller band. That show was executed very well. Congratulations on a great run.

Beechwood HS. Now the bands have come to play and perform. Very nice musical performance. Full rich sound. Trombone quartet was wonderful. Prop design is great. Very full of zest and color. Loved it

That was such a breath of fresh air! I love how all the colors of the show were personified musically. It's the only one so far for me today but that is a GN favorite already.

I’m only watching via the livestream, but I thought Walled Lake sounded and looked great! Would love to hear whether folks at Lucas Oil are feeling similarly impressed by so many of these groups

And yes, Walled Lake certainly felt like the winner in Panel 1!

Beechwood once again didn’t fail to impress and feel they are once again a contender to be the Class A Champion.
Rockford has, as expected, grown by leaps and bounds. Really solidifying their balance and blend though I feel like they could really use more dynamic contrast because I feel like I get musical whiplash. Good run all the same, even if the opening attack wasn’t quite together.

Rockford is such a great program and they did great today.
But.... hopefully its just box5 audio messing with me but I thought they sounded kinda thin today and it didn't seem like an especially clean run either musically. Visually, it was clean but I don't see this as significantly better than other bubble groups. I have them behind Walled Lake now and probably around the same place as Christian County(it's hard to compare these two).
Hopefully I'm just wrong about this.

Rockford HS. That was an outstanding performance. Your colorguard was full on beautiful. Great music and sound. I can see why people have been talking about you. Great job

This competition is pretty stacked, and while it might not happen this year I have a feeling we're going to be seeing Homestead back in finals sooner rather than later. Great job Spartan Alliance! Loved their show!

Homestead! I loved that show! Visual program was clean and eye-pleasing and I loved all the arrangements(especially New World). Music ensemble sound was a little loose sometimes but that performance should get them a really good result. Nice job Homestead!

I am so happy for Homestead! So many seemed to count them out this season with yet another director change. I saw them week one and instantly knew that the director change was going to end up in a positive for the program. They have not disappointed and this is easily their best show post Covid! Congratulations Homestead!

Nice job Tri-Valley! Amazing Grace is forever a favorite of mine and I loved the Lean on Me saxophone soli in the middle!

Great to hear Homestead had a strong performance. Lots of negative energy directed toward the program the past couple of years. Congrats to the students and directors!!

Interesting choice there from Dan Potter, announcing the ending of Chattahoochee’s show a full movement before the ending, then CONTINUING with listing the staff while they’re playing…

What the heck is going on. Announcer speaking over the Chattahoochie Band’s ending. Like two minutes from the ending. Respect to the band for staying focused.
