Anyone currently watching this morning? How was Edwardsville's show? I'm legitimately very excited to see how they do today
Edit: Watching currently, Fred J Page is sounding good for such a small group

Beautiful, Lincoln-Way! What I wouldn’t give to see this live. I thought their performance was really good, there were some small hiccups in regards to visual indv but overall very nice. I really enjoyed the clarinet solo. |

This is my first time seeing Bartlett HS. I am pleasantly surprised! Fantastic production and talented vocalist. Rippling Watercolors is one of my favorite Balmages pieces. I believe Sullivan HS, MO, who will be at St. Louis, also has it in their repertoire this year. I look forward to seeing more of this show!

I didn't get to see some of the bands who made it to finals, so does anyone have any finals predictions and/or mini prelims recaps?

Wow. Castle has blown me away tonight! Incredible performance! Ok I really liked it too. Help me though. It seemed like a lot of very talented soloists with a back up band. Please don’t take that as me trashing them because I really did like the show and they looked great! Display talent when you have it! It just felt like a lot on my end. But I’m also a visual person. Please go easy 😂 I have not visited these boards in a few years. |

Please go easy 😂 I have not visited these boards in a few years. You’re definitely not the only person who feels that way. I’m not crazy well-versed on Indiana band culture, but from personal experience it seems that a lot of IN bands like to show off talented soloists as much as possible and will tend to build entire shows around them. But I mean, hey, if you’ve got that talented kid, put them in the spotlight! I just worry that it can be a lot of pressure on a 14-18 year old, especially at such a high level of competition. I think it’s in a similar vein as the use of sampling/voiceovers. Us audience members are always going to have preferences, and that’s okay! What matters is that the kids take pride in what they’re putting on the field. |

Please go easy 😂 I have not visited these boards in a few years. Works in DCI, too. Blue Devils won the championship in 2009 with the easiest ensemble brass book in about the past 30 years. Incredible brass soloists, flawless percussion and visual carried the show. |

Franklin looked really great to me. I think they take the 3rd spot with an outside chance of 2nd. Castle sweeps this one. Saw North Hardin this afternoon and they put out a solid production, but I don't know that it was enough to medal here.

I can get behind the design of this show. The past few years Castles show design was lacking, they have really stepped it up this season. It seems like so many bands have.

Congratulations to Castle HS, IN. This marks their fourth BOA regional title.
Also gotta give a shout out to DeSoto Central HS, MS and Hoover HS, AL. These were strong showings for these two bands.

Ok. Castle is growing on me! Dramatic improvement from two weeks ago. Who else is noteworthy in AAA at nationals? Dobyns--Bennett?
