There's the super pessimistic poster I know! But you know I’m right! Noooo. 1) You never give up when there is still practically a month. 2) There is no finish line! You can hate the show, but it's still going to go down and one of my favorites this year.....you know...when it's working!

As someone who has followed mason all through high school and even thereafter since 2009, this reminds me so much of those shows that I remember seeing back then. They sound fantastic and I’m hoping for the best this year.

I love the recycled water bottles on Fisher’s props. What a fun little detail. This run seemed a bit rough for them tonight. Much like Castle this is their best designed show compared to the last few seasons. Lots of cleaning to do but it’s full of potential.

Really offsets the one off uniforms, new flags, tarps and the fuel for the 2 semis and 4 box trucks the show requires.

Much like Carmel, I absolutely love this Avon production! I couldn’t tell you the last time I loved both Avon and Carmel in the same season. This show is full of that amazing Avon energy and visual design that we love and feels distinctly like a classic Avon show. Not a big fan of the weird head pieces but I can overlook it. Comparing Avon and Carmel, it think Carmel has the upper hand.

I think Avon had a better Prelims run. It will interesting if they can keep their GN medalist streak going this year... I have a feeling it's gonna be real tough.
My predictions for Finals: 1) Carmel 2) Avon 3) William Mason 4) Brownsburg 5) Castle 6) Choctaw 7) Fishers 8) Homestead 9) Centerville 10) Franklin 11) Center Grove 12) Owasso 13) Goshen 14) Lawrence Township

You should see how many box trucks Carmel uses then Already have. Are they doing a show about sound ecological choices as well? Oh is that what Fishers show is about? Because I thought it was just a show about the ocean. Or at least water in general. I didn't hear any narration saying recycle. Or any visuals of the band having to wade through trash. Or even throw away something in a recycle bin! Odd. Sounds like maybe you're making it out more than it needs to be.

Alright everyone. Time for my definitive finals rankings. *Takes deep breath in*
1 Carmel (Best GE) 2 Avon (Best Music/Visual) 3 Castle 4 William Mason 5 Brownsburg 6 Fishers 7 Owasso 8 Centerville 9 Franklin 10 Goshen 11 Choctaw 12 Center Grove 13 Lawrence Township 14 Homestead
Because you CAN NOT tell me that Homestead would have made finals with a run like that earlier today.

Sounds like maybe you're making it out more than it needs to be. In an interview with the director he said the props are based off a sculpture that was created to help promote cleaning the oceans but that’s as far as that seems to go. Nothing in the show seems to point to “keep the oceans clean, save the sea turtles!”

These aren’t predictions, because I know it won’t turn out this way, but in my perfect world this would be the final results:
1. Avon, IN (V, GE) 2. Carmel, IN 3. William Mason, OH (M) 4. Fishers, IN 5. Castle, IN 6. Franklin, TN 7. Homestead, IN 8. Brownsburg, IN 9. Owasso, OK 10. Choctaw, OK 11. Centerville, OH 12. Center Grove, IN 13. Lawrence Township, IN 14. Goshen, IN

The commentators really played up the ecological and recycling angle and how it inspired the Fishers HS community. It isn’t me pimping the idea.

It isn’t me pimping the idea. They collected approximately 60,000 water bottles that will be recycled and sent to 4ocean. 4 ocean makes bracelets out of the recycled plastic and the money raised selling them goes towards cleaning the oceans. There is a boa podcast with the director that discusses this. A small fraction of the bottles were strung and attached to the waves.

Unrelated to any bands tonight, has anyone noticed that Chuck (the announcer) seems a bit off his game tonight? A lot of mispronouncing and so forth. Much more than I’ve ever noticed with him. Just something that I picked up on tonight.

In no way is any of that presented in their show though so if you're not watching the live stream or following them, how is someone supposed to know that. Let's just enjoy the show they are presenting to us
