Westwood was good I like their playful shows! There was some visual dirt and room to improve though its a nice show.
CTJ was very clean, although I didn’t recognize many of the musical selections.
James Bowie was solid! Show feels very unfinished from a visual standpoint. Feel like i need another read

Rouse in the top half is surprising but they deserve it. Cedar Ridge also staying strong in the top half.
Rough draw for Rouse. Hope they can fight through it and stay put in the top 6.
Really lucky draw for Vista Ridge, with a good performance they could jump some groups and medal.

Their implied placement in Prelims is 3rd-5th.

Their implied placement in Prelims is 3rd-5th. My bad I said jump as in plural, I really meant that I think they should jump Cedar Park. Right now I have Vista Ridge 4th and Cedar Park 3rd, the draw favors that at least from my predictions Vista Ridge can jump Cedar Park. No harm meant.

I predicted all of the correct finalists, but I must admit I am a bit (pleasantly) surprised to see Rouse in the top half of finals.
I'm going to actually watch the finals tonight so I'm excited to see some of these great groups.

Rouse was really great. They've never been a huge band, but looks like they took a drop of roughly 25% membership. Holding strong with somewhere between 70-80 winds and very deserving of that top 6 spot.

Round rock is very good, if they had more show on the field they’d probably make the top half. What does Apollo reference? Ironic that they are only playing music by dmitri shostakovich

Leander design was unexpected, and I'm loving it. Really digging the repertoire, including the Bon Iver piece.
Rouse continues to impress me. They look to be roughly 120 total members and they're playing and looking like a band twice their size. Brass performance in particular was incredibly strong for their size and for this early in the season. I don't think top 5 is out of the question for them tonight.

Claudia Taylor Johnson's show is incredible. This is a production that can win Grand Nationals, there's no doubt in my mind.

I love CTJs show, I just wish they didnt have the singer. Maybe the effect isnt as cool over a stream instead of in person, but I just never really enjoy mixing band and vocals. (Blue Springs a few years back is my only exception)

The Cedar Ridge band might be a bit smaller but that drumline is on fire as always!!

The Vista Ridge show has a lot of potential but Im still not getting it yet. And I'm a bit confused by the Katy Perry E.T. stuff.

Love their ballad but the E.T. vocals don't really blend well for me. Maybe it's something that'll grow on me throughout the season.
