I was just in Utah for the first time recently. Lots of sightseeing is an understatement! I’m so glad that directors are giving their kids these life-changing experiences, both educational and exciting. I hope we keep seeing out-of-state bands attracted to this regional. I still haven't been yet, and I am way closer than I ever was. Where did you go by chance? The question is more of where didn’t I go? Lol. All the national parks, a few state parks, some slot canyons… it was unreal.

All the national parks, a few state parks, some slot canyons… it was unreal. Utah is incredible! One of the top vacations I've ever taken. ATVing across the Canyonlands was a huge highlight, and some of those national parks were just so surreal for a city guy. Agree with you that it's great to see this activity giving students the chance to have all these wonderful opportunities even beyond the competitive side of things. Very happy for those Lakota kids (and hopefully they also have a strong showing at the regional!).

Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef are easily worth it. Plus there's lots of other places to get to. Great vacation area.

Bears Ears is the bees knees.
Which reminds me, bands should play more Regina Spektor.

As amazing as each of the National Parks are in their own right, my personal favorite NPS property in the area is Cedar Breaks National Monument. Absolutely breath-taking.

I just spent the last several days at Zion NP. I've been here before but still haven't done everything. I'm curious though if the band is planning on letting the students go on any hikes. I imagine not, but that would really inhibit how enjoyable some of the national parks in Utah would be.

Yeah, the best hikes there are definitely not student-friendly, but there are plenty of hikes that are either not within the park itself (meaning, just outside the Visitor Center), or ones that are short and easy without the need for the proper shoes, etc.

It’s insane how Sky View was scoring closer to 90 than 80 here just a few short years ago and now they can’t even make finals… what happened?

Though it's a rather stately show by comparison to the previous two. Farmington was nimblest and I think my favorite. American Fork is very impressive, but I couldn't really follow the plot on the high cam (true also of West's show for me), and also I'm a huge fan of such extensive use of singing. Better that, however, than the (mercifully brief) keystroke synced vocals for the cover of Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood," which presumably was inserted because otherwise the relevance of the music was unclear (and it's not one of Swift's better songs in the first place). Skyridge felt like fourth to me, except they started at least two minutes late due to electronics issues.

Awards started more than 25 minutes late.
1. 89.300 American Fork - Music tie, Visual, G.E. 2. 86.200 Lakota West 3. 86.100 Farmington 4. 85.350 Green Canyon - Music tie 5. 83.550 Davis 6. 82.100 Skyridge 7. 78.450 Westlake 8. 75.850 Lehi 9. 75.000 Cedar Valley 10. 73.100 Mountain Ridge 11. 71.850 La Cueva 12. 64.800 Pinecrest
I thought Lakota West should have been first at the Buckeye Invitational, so this second is gratifying.

So how did Green Canyon tie for a caption and then take 4th? Was their music ridiculously high or were the other two captions just really low in comparison?
