Class C mom to a band that was a shocker that didn't make state. I am impatiently awaiting Class C results.

Here's what I got for C: Edgewood Western NorthWood (but I would like to see them win) Fairfield Northwestern Garrett Beech Grove Angola Concordia Lutheran Twin Lakes I'm really impressed with all the shows today. There's so much maturity in these show designs that these bands have been shining in. I think the days of bands being 100+ may be long gone, but I'm really encouraged by the leaps and bounds some of these programs have really improved. There's so much talent in Indiana waiting in the wings and these programs have been embracing the new generation. There's a lot to look forward in the small band category in the next few years in Indiana! I think you had this all correct except for Beech Grove out of order.

Class C Results:
1. Edgewood 2. Western 3. NorthWood 4. Fairfield 5. Northwestern 6. Garrett 7. Angola 8. Concordia Lutheran 9. Beech Grove 10. Twin Lakes
Well done once again! Now to hope I didn't lose everything I just wrote cause my laptop died on me in the middle of awards! (It did....press F for respects. I'll start over. Ugg. So frustrating. Thought I still had a few hours left)

I really have no complaints with that. Some quick thoughts: -Garrett, congrats on your 6th place in your first appearance at state. Everyone knew after the performance that Garrett would be up high. -I was really blown away by Northwestern! All that pop music was arranged so beautifully and sentimentally. In the end, I think Northwestern went as far up as they could possibly with this show because the top 4 just had shows that fleeeew and Northwestern wasn't quite on that level. Even so, one of my other favorites today. Congrats! -Edgewood is a GE beast this year, both with content and the mind-numbing difficulty the band had to perform to. I had a few questions after the performance, but this was by ridiculously high standards Edgewood had been setting in the past. No qualms on my end and I believe the rightful winner was championed. -That being said, my heart breaks for NorthWood a bit because that was a state champion performance today. One of these years they'll get their milk. Being on the level of Kentucky Class A bands is still a ways off, but I'm really encouraged that someday, there will be a good contingent of bands that can submit their names up for the BOA GN Class A soon.

Congrats to Edgewood. The damn in that show was REAL! That’s tough for Northwood, with two years in a row declining a spot at state finals. They’ll get a championship one of these years. Also, I wrote out Western, who ended up losing by .05! So close and something to be incredibly proud of.

Anymore update on the high cam for Box5? Both links are working for me but pretty sure they are the same thing.

This is what I'm going try to do. I'm going to continue to write up my thoughts from the previous classes and post them all at the same time. All the while, I'm going to go ahead and post my thoughts after each band now for Class A. I feel like this will cause me less stress hah!
But here are my rankings for Class D. It was much better than last year that's for sure haha. Can see this going any way like always but I'm curious if I can manifest another miracle into happening this year. Class D judging, as we all know, is the most wonky and jankafied class in ISSMA these days. So...my rankings are just as valid LOL
Class D Rankings:
1. Jimtown 2. Forest Park 3. Lewis Cass 4. Mater Dei 5. Springs Valley 6. Monrovia 7. Adams Central 8. Tell City 9. South Spencer 10. Paoli

Class D Finals Placing:
1. Forest Park 2. Lewis Cass 3. Jimtown 4. Adams Central 5. Monrovia 6. Tell City 7. Springs Valley 8. South Spencer 9. Mater Dei 10. Paoli
Great job once again to all the bands! No real surprises. Hoped to see Jimtown as a new Champion as well but maybe next year if they stay in D!

I unfortunately have an adult life and must do boring stuff outside of band...
I did leave the stream running so I was able to catch some bands every once in a while. Nothing too in-depth again: -Congrats to Forest Park for winning! It was succinctly well-put together. I enjoyed the Fur Elise leitmotif and how it was integrated into the show. Not to mention, a well-matched visual program that captured the general musical landscape of the show. Forest Park marched and played the best today and it really showed in the performance. -Another congrats to Jimtown! It was far ago that I remember them being hyped as this tiny band by the neighboring Concord schools. It's been a very long march to where they are today, so I hope the program will take this 3rd place as a proud marker of far they've came and how much more than can go for. -Adams Central was a sneaky favorite! This group is looking pretty strong for the future if they can hold onto their students going into next year. -I think Tell City was too overscored at semi last weekend, but I'm all cool with 6th for them this year. The group played together very well! -Loved all the South Spencer checkers!
Congrats to all Class D bands!

I got an answer from Box5 on why there is no High Cam feed.
"Hello - there is only multi cam for this event. We are just streaming the event, we are not producing it unfortunately. But have passed your message along."
ISSMA - can't you do anything right?

Homestead! Carroll! Homestead! Carroll! Homestead! Carroll!
Fort Wayne has some incredible reps for GN this year! I'm so beyond impressed with the strides both programs had made in such a short while- Homestead showcasing all their talents and Carroll really pushing themselves this year. I am going to be over the moon if either makes GN Finals or both finish in the teen's.

ISSMA, you are dropping the ball on the multicam here. Lots of moments on the field missed for Center Grove.
CG, I'm really sorry but I'll wait for next week out of no fault of your own.

After 5 Carroll Fishers Homestead Center Grove Goshen The Center Grove vocalist was great. Wish the band played more. I’ve got the same. Sitting on the 50 up near the top. Carroll has really impressed me this year. What a jump in that program. Homestead has come on strong too. Fishers is just a fun show!

I knew it. I knew you were a slow burner Avon. I was telling everyone I knew you all had something going on.
Definitely eyes on the prize, I feel, but this was a killer run. ISSMA once again dropping the ball, but there's so many little stuff in parts of the show that some of Avon sparkle will still get captured by any incompetent's camera. Fantastic stuff. I can't wait for the full Avon experience soon.

After 7. I can’t make an educated call on the top two from the feed, so I’m giving it to Avon as the show is more to my liking.
