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. Yes, working for me, but I had that issue earlier when I was trying to access the wrong link. Also happened when I accidentally clicked on the Indy stream.

You’re telling me this is the BOTTOM half of finals?

Missed out on Lincoln but I thought Blue Springs South did a great job! Shostakovich can be a difficult composer to pull off, especially Symphony No. 10, but they did very well, especially with the woodwind runs. Looking forward to what else is to come!

Is Bentonville done with their show? The ending just seems so sudden and out of place.

God Bentonville sounded incredible. I've never heard them sound this good, I was loving it the entire time

You’re telling me this is the BOTTOM half of finals? Bottom half of SA finals will definitely have that same question ringing out from people😳 St.Louis has definitely gotten deeper and deeper as the years pass too. Props to all the finalist groups tonight✨✨

Bentonville's ending was a bit sudden to me as well but it wasn't a big deal for me. They gave such a strong performance, I have a hard time believing it was bottom half in prelims.

Bentonville sounds so good. I think if they had a more aggressive visual program they would be top half.

I’m less disappointed with Camdenton’s placement after watching the bands I missed while in the lot. St. Louis is not what it was five years ago. I’m on the fence still with Union, but otherwise I can’t see a single one of these bands missing finals. So well deserved.

I don't think their entire show is complete - seems like there's potential for another minute or so of music+drill, but also I mentioned last week that they edged out a visual & musical work in progress / mess that was Marian Catholic. Edged.. by only two points. O'Fallon is a good band but not deserving of a guaranteed Top 4 or 5. We'll see what happens w/ this panel. Whoa O'Fallon bottom half 😳

Bixby sampling a Bo Burnham song and Lincoln playing Blackpink is SO 2021. I love it.

I really liked what Bixby did with the LED lights. Even from my relatively low position in the stands the body/drill looked very clean as well.

I love this Bixby show! The visual package is really well designed and executed. I can't put my finger on it but something about the drill reminds me of Flower Mound, which is a good thing considering they usually have one of the best visual designs any given year. The soloists were incredible and I really like the flashlights they used near the end, although it's kind of hard to see the lights with their white uniforms.

This was Bixby’s original flashlight visual, but they changed it because it just didn’t read well at competitions

Still struggling to see how this is in finals over Camdenton and Martin, but I digress.

Not the Union I am used to seeing. Not sure how they made finals over a few others.

Union is going to macys? Good for them. I think they just toned down the band a lot for their new players. It was a pretty balanced sound

Union gave a good performance, but I have to agree that it wasn't what I'm used to seeing from them. There are some nice ensemble moments, but the visual program is rather sloppy and not what I expected.

Rosemount is a little dirty musically but visual is very nice

Rosemount was good! Some dirt in the music but overall nice sound, especially at the impact moments.

Some rough moments for the brass there, but Rosemount plays very powerfully! Well deserving of finals.

Not sure, but just watching previous videos seems Rosemount might have been having sound board/ amplification issues.

I am up in the highest level of the press box, and you are correct — drill was so creative and just so well done overall. Those light effects are amazing. My favorite so far, with Bentonville not far behind.
