Not to the mention Ventos doing Blue Springs and Blue Springs South (and maybe still Grain Valley?) and Steve Vento writing for Coppell (and maybe Bixby?). While we’re at it, someone needs to invite Vista Ridge to this regional. They’re also a Vento band now.

The thing that immediately struck my eye, just got me thinking how much upkeep is being done on the stadium now since it’s unoccupied 😦 The XFL was purchased by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. He plans to bring the league back, as well as the Battlehawks. The Dome is old and stale, but wasting money on a currently unused field is a terrible investment. Yeah, apparently the XFL doesn't want to use the dome anymore. Instead, they prefer the new MLS Stadium.

I wonder if they'll move it to the MLS stadium in the next few years...pros and cons to both in my opinion.

It’s one of the Blue Springs but I can’t remember which. If it was BSS then it was also written by Vento because IIRC she did not design BS’s winter guard that season.

Elizabeth Keune does their guard stuff, but Lindsey might have been a consultant. Idk.

Wes Cartwright does all of the schools I mentioned to varying degrees. Had Bell shown up this year, we would have six. And SFA, seven, which made finals last year a bit aggressive. We can thank them for the ungodly high scores we had last time.

Nixa is onto something! I am so so proud of this band!! If AAA wasn’t insanely packed with GN finalists I would give them a medal. Incredible show design and brass and beautiful smiles from the kids!!

I adore Prosper’s uniforms. The purple and yellow look really nice together and the half skirts are very sharp looking. I’m looking forward to catching them later tonight.

Man, there are so many finals worthy bands here, and I think Lincoln cemented their spot with that run. It's a shame there can only be 14 in finals tonight

I always love Sioux Falls Lincoln, year after year!! I would love to see them make finals tonight and finally gain some traction at this regional, they’ve been working so hard for it. What a great show this year!

Prosper sounded good, but they do a lot of moving around, stop, play for a bit, move around, stop play.

Gonna be a tight race between Bixby, Lincoln and possibly even BSS for that third place AAA spot. As much as I enjoyed Lincoln, my money is on Bixby.
