Someday I'll make the trek for Nats. Tonight I'm in a blanket eating ice cream. I'm about ready to crawl into bed with my heating pad and bed positioned in TV mode. lol. I'm old though.

Seeing the finalists now, there is no doubt in my mind that O'Fallon would have been in finals had they been in attendance this year.
Either that or they would be cursed to 18th place again.

I just want something shocking to happen! I'm here for the chaos Somehow, Tarpon Springs wins despite not performing at all. Their show was amazing. No doubt would have contended for the title.

Blue Springs hiding in the shadows… If a show is going to do it, my bet is on Blue Springs. The pressure is now off a few bands for tonight so I expect those bands to let loose and give the performance of their life.

In Semis, my top bands were: 1. Avon 2. The Woodlands 3. Carmel 4. Hebron 5. William Mason 6. Round Rock 7. Fishers 8. Blue Springs 9. Peatland* 10. Keller 11. Claudia Taylor Johnson 12. Brownsburg
But as I told the folks sitting adjacent, I hoped there would be some surprises. Congratulations to Bentonville. Looking forward to more surprises tonight! I’m in section 441. Curious to learn how the bands sound up here.
*That should read Pearland.

Need a pretzel count update. Pretzel count: 28 🥨 I'm still wondering if they're good pretzels or if you're a glutton for punishment.

IMO, Keller is the most surprising GN finalist in some time. I did NOT say undeserving, just surprising. Pearland was 4th against strong competition at Katy, but Keller was only 8th in Finals at Prosper. Going into today, I probably would have put Keller in the 15th-18th range as a prediction for semis. Congratulations to the kids for really kicking butt and cleaning that show over the past month. CTJ barely made San Antonio finals, I wasn't expecting them to make GN Finals. I’d give that title to Southlake Carroll, last year. Indeed, few if any had Carroll in, while many folks this year still said Keller was in the finals bubble at the very least

This is so special, my kid was in Indy in 2021 as a Freshman when BHS didn’t make semi-finals. She is a Junior this year and this is her last opportunity to attend Indy Grand Nationals (BHS only goes every 2 years). Being in Finals is such a WIN for her and the other junior and Seniors this year. And of course the freshman and sophomores too, all the kids and parents there. Just a wonderful moment! We are so thrilled! Thank you all for your support here. Go Bentonville Pride!! Fill tonight with the SUN! Love ya’! 🌻❤️🌻

Just now realizing that I saw 5 of the 12 finalists perform in person 3 weeks ago! Can't wait to see how they've all improved, Mason's new ending, and to see how to do against the rest of the field. Everyone have fun and enjoy the shows tonight! We can complain about numbers later 😂

There are few if any HS bands pushing 200bpm in a show.

Wow, got some West Salem representation on the Judging Panel tonight!
Overall, seems like a very stout panel for this evening!

Some people seriously losing their minds over on the TXbands forum... Pretty disappointing to see some of the comments, at least in my opinion. Against my better judgement I took a look over there and wished I hadn't. The comments in particular about Richard Saucedo especially made by blood boil.

I haven’t been on there much this weekend, comment on both, but there is the collection of a few strange frequent/infrequent trolls trolling(check their post numbers), genuine displeasure at a result(which isn’t nearly as common) and the few conspiracy theorists, the consistent posters aren’t acting this way.
