One kudos to ISSMA for the 50th anniversary- bringing back some of the ISSMA legends for the fanfare. I am geeking out here. Class A- Jim Butz (Ben Davis) Class B- Jon Sutton (Greenwood) Class C- ? ? ? (didn't catch the retreat here, will edit if someone knows) Class D- Bill Laughlin (Paoli) National Anthem- Doug Fletcher (Winchester Community) Forgot his name, but longtime director of Western

Every year, I think I am going to do better at predictions, and then miss 90% of my guesses.

I’m trying to wrap my head around CG over Carroll.

After a quick glance at the scores, 5-7 could've been very different if state finals was on Sunday.
I'm cool with Carroll 7th now. No qualms with how the night ended.

Would love to see these scores. I had Carroll over CG and Carmel over Avon. Great shows to all though. Really missed Castle in Class A.

Oh, and in my excitement, I completely forgot about our winners tonight! Congrats to Avon!
What an incredible win. Fought so hard all season for this moment. Not to mention, there's STILL more for Avon to do! This is going to be a nutty GN.

I know the forum doesn’t like talk like this, but I feel like the CG show (as in the past) scores way higher than I’d think. I’m just not a fan of a show where the band itself plays so little. Oh well.

I guess I’m just an old curmudgeon. I just feel as if a show and performance like Carroll’s deserves to be rewarded. I really feel bad for Carroll.

I’m trying to wrap my head around CG over Carroll. Honestly after watching live it really doesn’t surprise me! Carroll definitely has the better show IMO but tonight they just seemed dirtier in person. I still think Carroll can surpass them at Grand Nats in a couple of weeks!

If you’re a curmudgeon I’m right there with you. It is a marching band, not a soloist or small ensemble with back up dancers.

Sitting in the 50, I would disagree. I thought they were cleaner and had a better sound.

Forgot his name, but longtime director of Western Brian Caldwell? Well-deserved if that's the one. It was Mr. Brian Caldwell.

I know we're all kind of hyper-focusing on the placement, but the matter of the fact was Carroll was ridiculously close to Center Grove and Homestead. Sucks that placements don't reflect the exact gaps well and this was how it shook out for Carroll, but if the season has been any indication, Carroll is bound for amazing things in the not-so-distant future. Heck, I didn't think I would seriously consider Carroll as a possible GN finalist before this season, but lo and behold.
By the way, Carroll was knocked in both music and visual performance captions. GE? Exactly where most of you had them.
