Excited for Brownsburg making it back here again. I like this show more than last year's, too.

Idk why people were so mild on Brownsburg earlier. 75% of their show is a note-by-note transcription of Symphonic Metamorphosis. Sure, I don’t get that how that ties into the theme… but when has that ever mattered in a show designed by this person? I see them as high as 7th.

Brownsburg, I feel as if you are no longer a band questioning whether you will make Finals, but how high you will get. Next step, top half!! I knew as soon as Kaflik took over, Brownsburg would be the next big thing. And rightfully so - here you are (although in my opinion what should be your 3rd Finals appearance - I loved Fly Away in 2021!). Here's to the next few years of skyrocketing up the ranks.

I seriously think this production is both solid and enjoyable. It's really something neat.

What an exceptionally emotional and stunning performance from Bentonville to begin Finals. I could not be happier they are performing tonight, and they clearly earned their place among the 12 elite this weekend. What a wonderful way to begin the evening. Thank you, Bentonville!!!! That was pure magic! I agree!! 🌻🌻🌻

Oh, and I just LOVE the guard opening and closing, plus the band appearing and disappearing behind the props. Really cool effect

Bentonville’s show is just pure joy - it’s so contagious! Huge huge smile on my face. Congrats on an absolutely historic season to Bentonville!! All of the hard work has paid off!! You have been a grand supporter and advocate for Bentonville Marching Band all season. You have adopted us in to the wonderful Oklahoma band family. And we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

A little rant here about whoever made seats in Lucas Oil. We purchased seats 17 and 18 in section 433, high up I know but we were already down on the 50 for all of Prelims and Semis, but anyways…row three goes from 1-16 and then it cuts off for the stairwell then back and starts at…25 & 26?? We thought we might be the only ones but then another family shows up and their seats are, I believe 19, 20, 21 or something of the sorts. My question is, where in the world are we supposed to sit at? This is something they should have figured out beforehand, and on top of that they had all of 433 roped off before us and another family brought it to their attention that our seats were nonexistent, then they had brought more security to sit the area and that’s when they had taken the ropes and blocks down. Just very frustrating all around, very confused on where to sit for finals. That is the end of my rant. Thank you. Reasonable.

My opinion on two shows, Brownsburg 2022 and 2023, could NOT be any more different from one another.
I LOVE their 2023 show.

Watching Box5 Director’s Cut Cam for the first time after only High Cam for Prelims and Semifinals. This Brownsburg show is even more beautiful. Wow!

My family moved to the Ozarks when I was 13 and it has been my literal and spiritual home ever since. Our culture may be a bit strange, but I cannot emphasize enough how much it means to me. Seeing the first ever Ozark band make finals here…it’s really magical. What a great way to represent this beautiful part of the country! They will be back. Many many more times.

Lake of the ozarks, and then bentonville. The ozarks have been my home forever and I love to see these bands come out of the woods.
