Well that show will be performing Saturday night, and it won't be as class champion either. Sorry Texas folks, I think six is where we'll be. Sorry Vista Ridge, try again next time. If they have to compete with shows like the ones we saw from Wando and Dobyns-Bennett today then we won’t be seeing them Saturday night! That’s for sure. Comments like these make me wish these forums had a betting pool sometimes.

Comments like these make me wish these forums had a betting pool sometimes. In years past, there have been season-long prediction games. No such game was set up this year, but there is a thread trying to start something for the Super Regionals and Grand Nationals. hornrank.proboards.com/thread/415/2021-sr-gn-predictions-game

It also makes me wish the Grand Nationals finals pool would be expanded by one or two spots but I know that would (and should) never happen.

I thought Byrnes played really well! I wouldn't be shocked if they took a caption from Wando in 4A

Finals could be expanded to 14 bands and we could still end up with an additional three class champion exhibitions some years.

Strongly disagree with that 3a visual caption. But congrats to DeSoto.

Byrnes H.S., SC DeSoto Central's visual score must have been super high to steal the caption from DB and still land in bottom 6. Good for them though! This is shaping out to be such an interesting competition

Hoover not in finals, I wonder how close scores were or how their run went this afternoon. Anyone see it?

Hoover not in finals, I wonder how close scores were or how their run went this afternoon. Anyone see it? Yeah. They had lots of technical issues with mics not working. Bass clarinet feature and horn solo mics didn't work. Rough show (though the finalists all had really great shows). If you remember, I predicted Hoover in first for the Alabama bands, but boy was I wrong...

I had Hoover as my last finalist, but I can’t say I’m super surprised they didn’t make it. Was not really wowed by their show.

Am I missing something or is there a bounty out for Vista Ridge. Nats isn’t next week, and they still play miles better than DB and Wando. I have no idea why people are commenting this when they HAVEN'T SEEN THE FULL SHOW.

I have no idea why people are commenting this when they HAVEN'T SEEN THE FULL SHOW. I’m just biting my tongue over here and trying not to laugh. I’m a Tennessee girl, but I was just not terribly impressed with Dobyns Bennet today no matter how hard I tried. Vista Ridge would have ZERO issues beating that in a head to head battle today. Now to be fair, let’s give them all another four weeks before we make up our minds. Let’s say we meet back here and discuss it exactly four weeks from tonight.

This little South Jones Mississippi band is so enjoyable too. Gosh I’m really impressed with these groups tonight. Maybe DB will have a much better run later and impress me too. 😁

A class bands in finals are always a great thing to see.
I’d really like to see a video of South Jones does anyone have one? Very interested to see them. Very happy for them.

So did Nation Ford get a lot smaller...? Or it seems like the pandemic really affected them.

I think South Jones would be in the lead so far. LOVED their show! Nation Ford kinda fell flat for me

DB must be a visual disaster if this is the best visual band in AAA.
