On the weather front: it seems that Conway will miss the rainy weather in Myrtle Beach for the most part. A bit of a downpour around 8 or so, but it'll pass once the first band goes on the field and remain undisruptive for the remainder of the day. A brief storm in the afternoon, so perhaps a small delay, but nothing that'll cancel the event entirely.
A last reminder from me about some of the logistics at this event in page 5- I highly encourage you read the post before arriving as their are lots of tips that'll make your experience better.
Let me tell you all- this is going to be such a cool visual experience. Can't wait for bands to pop against the teal!

Looking at some stormy seas and driving rain right now, the worst of things seem to pass by 11 thankfully

Carolina's starting out strong with Dutch Fork not letting a little early gloomy weather hinder their performance!

These Carolina bands aren't playing around!
P.S., I'm kind of obsessed with this blue field

Holy heck, that Stratford soprano sax soloist was phenomenal. So much weight on their shoulders carrying that ballad and they played brilliantly. Well done!

Cape Fear is small this year. I counted somewhere around 66 members, but they are producing a great big sound with their size.

I’m noticing that this competition has a lot of similar show themes haha. Clover-Jack Britt, and Stratford-Green Level are fielding almost identical themes.

Post by cornet on Oct 14, 2023 9:07:21 GMT -6
My first thought on Green Level is similar to their show last year. Musical and skilled but not really heavy on those wow moments. Will be interesting to see if it evolves much. I suspect the ending isn't finished.

I thought Nafo had a bit of a rough start here but I do like their show.

I like Corinth! I could see them making finals although I haven't seen all their competition for a spot.

Wando looks like they've been practicing

Jay Bocook has gotten a lot of mileage on that arrangement of Pampeana over the years. Wando did very well with it, as well as Hurt.

Now I need a Texas band to do Orbital some Texas justice (not that the arrangement was bad, but I wanted POWER with that piece)!

Delayed final predictions! Pretty confident about this top 12 (not necessarily order), though I think Travelers Rest or even St. James could just sneak in (either way, the latter will perform twice). Super excited about this show! Best of skill to all groups! 1. Wando H.S., SC 2. James F. Byrnes H.S., SC 3. Catawba Ridge H.S., SC 4. Green Level H.S., NC 5. Nation Ford H.S., SC 6. Clover H.S., SC 7. Stratford H.S., SC 8. Lakeside H.S., GA 9. Blythewood H.S., SC 10. Carteret Collective Sound, NC 11. Apex Friendship H.S., NC 12. Corinth-Holders H.S., NC A 1. St. James H.S., SC AA 1. Catawba Ridge H.S., SC 2. Travelers Rest H.S., SC 3. North Myrtle Beach H.S., SC AAA 1. Green Level H.S., NC 2. Nation Ford H.S., SC 3. Stratford H.S., SC AAAA 1. Wando H.S., SC 2. James F. Byrnes H.S., SC 3. Clover H.S., SC From what I've seen this seems pretty much on. I don't really see Carteret as a finalist but I'm not sure who takes their place.

Imagine Catawba Ridge beats Wando to add to this spicy year.

Never thought I'd hear The Midnight's music on the field, but here we are. Thanks, Catawba Ridge! Digging their 80s vibe.

Welp, I have Catawba just ahead of Byrnes.
Can’t wait to see how this one shakes out!
