I think y'all don't know that there format for how they order semi-finals has changed. If you are in the top 11 in your panel now, then you automatically get into the mid-22. The next highest eight scoring bands regardless of panel will then be the first eight to perform. So it is entirely possible that bands in the first 8 outscored bands in the mid 22 if they were on different panels. And then there Class Reps now go on last on the day. It's a very stupid system. I don't mind moving the next 8 to go on first and Class Reps last, but keep the mid 22 to the highest scoring groups and next 8, there next 8 highest scoring. Dumb dumb dumb. I like you, but I gotta say it… *Their. (This grammar policing also serves as a bump for people that haven’t seen your very informative post.)

It is a perfectly fine look for Box 5. He is an individual commentator that has his own taste and team he’s rooting for the same as any sports caster. Plus Texas >>>>>>>> Box5’s actions say “we believe all bands should be featured equally, but some bands are more equal than others” …let the angry comments from Texans begin. You must be new here

Can anyone post the schedule with each bands’s panel included? I would but I’m swamped with school. Thanks!

The format for semis has changed, but I would bet that the top 11 bands from Panel 2 are all part of the top 22 overall. Take it to the bank.

Having 100% of your state’s bands, 8/8 make semis speaks for itself. They don’t need Box 5 to do it for them. 💅 Lol also helps that 100% of those bands come from towns with good socio-economic statuses. No other state with multiple bands can say the same 😊

I’m looking at the adjudication handbook, and it says top 11 from each prelim. I’ve seen folks throw out this term “panel,” but the rule book language appears to say that it is the top 11 from day one, and the top 11 from day two. Then the next eight from either day.

I think what’s most interesting is seeing how Dartmouth, a perennial winter guard/Drumline leader in the activity and US Bands champion will do in semis. I haven’t seen them yet. They might be one of the few bands from that circuit that are here this weekend.
I’d appreciate any schooling on US Bands crossovers into boa.
Rooting for my Black and Gold always, even in purple. And speaking of purple I’ll be rooting for the sound of brownsburg who is wearing pink. …ect

No offense to my home state of Texas, but why does Box5 have an advocate for all Texas bands making it to Finals? Not a good look for Box5. Let me emphasize that I love the Texas bands. Truly. Amazing talent and wonderful shows. I just didn’t like the optics of a Box5 commentator advocating for all eight Texas bands making finals. If someone had said that about every Indiana band, I wouldn’t like it either. This is not an anti-Texas band post. Go look at all of my comments about how excited I was to see a Texas band performance. Now I wish I hadn’t said anything based on both sides of the reaction to my comment.

It’s like BOA forgot why they (1) changed the Top 11 from each to Top 22 overall two decades ago and (2) changed it from days to panels five years ago in the first place.

It's 2 hours from Ft Wayne to Indy. Can't arrive on the lot until 5:45. Leave a little wiggle room for that well-known terrible wee-hours-of-Sat-morning traffic and leaving at 3 is earlier than needed. Call time 30 before that (let's even say a hour if getting dressed at the school after checking in)...
