I really wish Marion would've made finals, their music is probably one of my favorites this year. Their uniforms are also probably my favorite too. Yes! Love their uniforms this season

Wow, this has been the best GN finals of all time. Best group of 12 and best group of Top 6 as well. Doesn’t matter what the placements are, this was such a great group of bands. I expect everyone to score 90+, and the winner in the high 97s/low 98s.
Thank you all for bringing it tonight.

Didn't another band play "Age of Aquarius" earlier today?

They should make a category for color guard and percussion because there are a lot of amazing guards that are simply not getting rewarded for their hard work. Same with percussion. This would also make bands want to improve their guards giving us more interesting shows. Same goes for percussion. What vandy might loose in that situation with guard they’d definitely gain back in percussion. BOA does this (not having captions like that) to boost creativity in the productions I agree with the OP. It wouldn't factor into the score, but would still be an award. That way there could be recognition without removing overall creativity. A guard award and an aux award if there were bands competing that didn't have guards. Percussion as well. This is fairly normal for Oklahoma contests that otherwise use the BOA format.

As others have mentioned, this has been my favorite Grand Nationals I have ever watched! The top 12 were all amazing.
As a marching band fan I want to say thank you to all the students who work so hard day in and day out!

It feels strange seeing Marian Catholic in exhibition, the AA champion has not been in exhibition for a while at least not since Marian was AAA for a few years. Pretty sure the last time was 2004 when Bellbrook was AA champion.

You are ok to support Indiana, that’s fine they had a very great showing tonight after all good shows all around, but don’t cheer on a program at the expense of another

Ok the montage really should be discarded - let’s get on with the scores
