Dave on the field! Dope.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, good for you. If you do know... weren't the '90s great?

Wow! Grand Nats has not disappointed. I cannot wait to see the rest of this block and the final block tonight. Great bands ahead!!! Thank you to all the students, staff, pit crews, parents, and supporters of every single band. You bring us all such joy watching and listening.

I saw some of the commentary as I was reading on the beach (I had to toss that in there) and was pleased to see some positive response to Homestead. How confident are we that they will get into semis? That early spot (2nd band on panel 2) makes me nervous as I saw what such a spot did for them last season at the Indy Super. I'd love to watch them Saturday. Put my mind at ease. Early time slots suck. But I wouldn’t count out a band for that. You all saw fishers go first for state and they placed 4th. And after that run, it would be hard to see them out that was pretty solid in my opinion. Much cleaner than last time! (Also i could’ve sworn that they were third…?)

As a Texas fan can someone explain the BOA multi - city or county accepted (A,AA, AAA and AAAA) marching band scope? More specifically the Township and County situations. Are these programs likened to Tarpon’s county charter set up? Specifically do they choose one school and filter music talents there? Do the students primarily rehearse in their primary high schools but host marching practice at another for logistics? I asked this same question many years ago and got many competing answers. Looking for clarification. Thanks So Tarpon Springs is awesome. I would never try to discredit the work those kids put in. That being said, they pull kids from all of pinellas county. So 41 schools, thousands of kids, and they compete in 2A. My only complaint is they should be 4A given that pool of kids to pull from. (And they don't pull the untalented kids that are just glad to be there)

I’m pretty sure someone at MFA manually put Morton next to Norton and proceeded to giggle. Literally lol. This Morton/Norton combo got me feelin dyslexic. Send tweet.

The Morton/Norton thing can’t just be an accident

They are really spectacular, but I'd hate to be in a 2A band showing up to a regional with them there. Doesn't seem like a fair fight.

Norton! No mystery there - that was one entertaining performance! The question mark "plumes" were everything. Love me some non-Fly to Paradise Whitacre. Awesome job!

I enjoyed Bowie but they didn’t change my opinion of them being on the bubble.

Am I the only one that thinks box 5 needs rules on soloist cams. We get it it’s a soloist can we please either not show them at all or see them for 5 seconds max?? So many great visual moments and color guard moments that I’m lucky enough to see in person are being missed bc they show the soloist for like 40 counts. Ugh!
