Wow, Camdenton is not in finals…I don’t even think I’m being biased when I say that doesn’t make sense at all.

Also very surprised to not hear James Martin's name. Thought they were top half of finals quality in music.

What an incredibly brief moment for some false hope with those announcements. Blue Springs being announced twice and that .5 second period where the announcer was clarifying it was actually BSS. I bet some bands thought that was their moment to be announced.
That’s rough but honestly it’s a 100% understandable mistake from the announcer. I’d probably make a much bigger mistake. All the props to the announcers at these competitions.

I think people on here mentioned their electronics didn't work. Yeah they had some serious feedback issues. They had quite a bit of visual dirt too so I shouldn't be too surprised, but I still thought they sounded great!

All the props to the announcers at these competitions. To be fair, that's not the biggest goof Dan Potter has ever made. That still goes to 2 years ago when he asked the Spartans drum major if there was an asterisk next to their Open Class Championship since BDB and Vanguard Cadets weren't there.

IMO, Camdenton didn't seem like they grew much from where they were since the regional a few weeks ago. I didn't catch Grain Valley, but I believe their show was still incomplete since that regional, and there must've been some cleaning done too.

Much better than what I was expecting based on the results from a few weeks ago

I still think that was a fair question from Dan. Drum Corps is not high school marching band.

I thought for sure Bentonville was gonna be in the top half. 😢

Definitely surprising to see O'Fallon in the bottom half, but they did get the best possible scheduled time to be able to jump from bottom half to top half. A lot of judges probably wouldn't notice O'Fallon is bottom half.

Or when he didn't shut his mic off during finals before saying "Good luck, Owasso" back in (I think) 2017. I still love the video of him in the box when he realized what he did and quickly shutting it off. That was a lighthearted moment for sure

I think Camdenton has been strong all season and I think they added more subtle visual things but I could be wrong. Shocked they didn't make finals.

Camdenton changed virtually nothing within the last two weeks while Grain Valley added nearly a second half. I still believe the GE caption should have gone to Camdenton, but Grain Valley performed exceptionally well and deserves their spot in the top half. They have made an outstanding recovery from where they were in 2019.

Those announcers have a lot of speaking to do and no doubt they’ll say dumb things time to time. And he apologized publicly so not much more we can ask for

Has this ever happened in St Louis SR? Without checking scores I think Clovis got close in 2018 The gap between MC and Clovis actually widened from prelims to finals. Not saying that I don't think O'Fallon can slip into top half but yeah I don't think that's happened within recent years at least

We've only had one band 'jump the gap' this year. And that was last week at Orlando from 7 to 6.

Sullivan needs to be really proud of what they’ve done today. Beating Archbishop Alter is no easy feat. There are not enough words to express how proud I am.

Are you all able to access the stream on Box5's website? I'm trying to purchase the finals option and when I go to the St. Louis stream it gives me a 404 page not found error.
