I should walk into the stadium with just enough time to get up to the 300s for Marian!

I’m catching a 5:10 flight to get to Indy as quickly as possible!

Important question! Is Lucas Oil on clear bag policy? It would be a game changer if I could bring my backpack.

Today they let any bags in. They do a bag check, but didn’t even have the metal detectors on.

Sooo ready for predictions. I won't venture a guess. Texas is dominating!
Only comment I have about the Indy bubble bands is the schedule worked out well for MPLT versus Fishers and Homestead. Should be interesting.
I'm a fan of MPLTs program and would love to see those kids do that show in front of an adoring Finals crowd. Just my little dream and wish. One can dream, right?
It's s great day for marching band! Yipeeee!

Norton was a treat! Best show they've brought to Grand Nationals! Would love to see them take the Class A silver!

I missed the title of James Madison's show; did anyone catch that?

There should never be electronics trouble. Think of what you're putting your students through.

Now that we’ve seen all the AAA bands (besides Leander, who we know will win) who else do we think medals for that class?

I agree with Allohak. James Madison & Milford will be 2 & 3 respectively.
For Class A I'm going with: Bourbon County Norton Estill County

North Hardin has to be right on the AAA border at the very least, right? GreatSchools.org has them at 1531 students. That translates to 383 per grade (obviously with the big assumption that years are even), or 1148 for 3 years' worth, well above the Class AA limit. Big freshman class about to put them in AAA?

Beautiful job by the Euph soloist into the Giacchino piece. That soloist's tone is among the best we'll hear all weekend.

Love, love, love North Hardin featuring their drummer like that! I’m not even a percussion mom and that and I appreciated it!
