I think NH is still very much in this Individual judges can surprise. No way to know for sure until awards. I still can’t see them over Marian for a laundry list of reasons. I’ll say that the visual caption can be had, but would be shocked if another caption is picked up. Also, I don’t think being in the Next 8 grouping helps any band who has serious designs on any class title, with the exception of Class A. On another note, I’m not as down on Homestead’s chances. Bad time for bad things to happen, but I think judges understand. I’m sure no one saw North over MC at Indy Super, I think it’s going to be VERY close.

Well, time for the real question Homestead vs. Park Vista vs. Roundrock The only time electronics didn’t work for Homestead was their pre-show, which should not be commented on I believe. I have them in finals, their brass sounded a million times better than yesterday (still improveable) and they were visually outSTANDING. I’d put Homestead like .1 above roundrock, mainly because they are excelling SO much today in visual, but we all know roundrock’s hornline is a lot better than most of the top 8. Park Vista was a strange show, I have them in the lower bubble, probably out. Overall: Homestead (barely) Round rock —— FINALS CUTOFF —— Park Vista Round Rock(Barley) Park Vista Homestead All Make Finals!

Ok I think I'm the odd man out here. That was the first time I've seen Union, and I'm floored at how much I didn't care for it & the performance quality. I usually adore anything Union brings to the field! I question a lot of the design choices. The pacing was really odd, the staging felt claustrophobic, and that seemed to be a pretty rough run from the brass. I will say they ended quite strongly. I don't see that design & performance topping Homestead, PV, RR, or Marian. BUT, I'll be happily wrong if Union gets Finalist berth #12 for them tonight. I just don't think it was tight enough in terms of performance quality or design to play again. Agree!

Not loving park vista at all. Just seems like a very odd show. Odd? Do you mean something we havn't seen before? The use of the field, prop and tarps was beautiful. Very complete show as far as design.

What time slot will William Mason get in finals? I don’t remember what number they drew.

Mason was fantastic! Excited to see where they place tonight. Excited to see where the program goes from here as they are back to where they used to be (and quite possibly better?)

Very complete show as far as design. To me, it just didnt feel like a production. I thought it was music and marching more than a cohesive product. Just my opinion though

My only qualm about Leander is they can’t seem to line up those arcs at the end. Everything else is great

Leander is an absolute crowd pleaser. Add to that the fact that they're performing at insane levels and you have an instant fan favorite. They're my prediction to take home that award, for sure.

That should be enough.

Mason’s show lost a bit of its magic that it had the first time I watched it (that being prelims). That’s just a “me” thing. However they still sell the hell out of it.
And also, Leander. Leander. Leander. Surely top 5, maybe more. Still one of my favorite shows this year.

Umm... did anybody else just get this message on FloMarching before Hebron's performance?
"There's a break in the action. We'll be back at 2:00 PM EST on Nov 16, 2019."
Edit: It's back. Get your #### together, Flo.

Um, does anyone else have a message onscreen from Flo saying the following right now?
"There's a break in the action We'll be back at 02:00:00 PM EST on Nov 16, 2019."
