Who will be there in person? Who will be watching on Box5? Who will do a little of both?
For those who are going to be in LOS, when will you be there and where can others expect to find you? It's always great to meet those you only know as a forums name in person.

When: Thursday - in the building before John Hardin enters for warmup at 7:35 a.m. (or earlier if another band is added) until about 15 minutes after Claudia Taylor Johnson exits the field at approximately 10:43 p.m. Friday - (probably) in the building before Logan Elm enters for warmup at 5:50 a.m. until about 15 minutes after semifinalists are announced Saturday - (will try too be) in the building before the first semifinalist enters for warmup (with 38 semifinalists in 2019, that was 5:05 a.m. - I didn't make it) until about 30 minutes after the bands break ranks (hoping this happens) following finals awards Where: Event Staff working Field Exit (splitting this duty with Allohak). At the end of most performances, you will see me in the Side 2 end zone.

I will be watching finals on Box5. Hoping to catch most semi finals bands online at a later time. Grand Nationals weekend does not always fit well into my schedule, but I always manage to catch up on the shows that I missed. Probably looking at doing the 2021 season review a few months down the road (I like to re watch a lot of the performances). This has certainly been a unique season.

I'll be watching on Box5, definitely Saturday not sure if I'll catch any of prelims. Thought I was gonna go this year but it wasn't in the cards. Maybe next year I can go for the first time since 2009...😞

Will arrive Thursday night. I plan to be in LOS for the first block on Friday, then in and out the rest of prelims while going to some rehearsals and taking work calls (real life is no fun!). Then I’ll be around all of Saturday!

I share a Box5 account with my mom, and knowing her enthusiasm for band I’m not sure if I’ll find any time to pull up the website while she’s not using it until I can get home and we can just watch together. I’m guessing I’ll catch the final few bands of prelims and then be able to watch all of semis and finals. I’m so excited!

I will be there for Friday prelims. Our band.is in the first block, so it'll be an early day for me as I've been in the team assembling props.
Hoping to see my Alma Mater in the early afternoon.
Probably taking a break in the latter afternoon Friday to rest at the hotel and watch Box5.
Planning a long day on Saturday for semis and finals.

I’ll be there on Thursday part way through the morning block with one my groups, then on Friday evening for another, and then back for semis with my fiancé who is slowly becoming a band fan this year. Can’t wait for her to see some great groups live!

Unfortunately I will only be there for all of Saturday.
Going from Texas isn't the easiest and I already spent enough at the Alamodome this past weekend

I haven't decided to what extent I'll be watching on box5 this weekend, but I just want to say that if you think it is early when you are IN Indy, think about those of us trying to stream from the west coast! Semifinals start at like 4am

I'll be there before the gates open Friday and Saturday (and possibly Thursday). You can find me at the Director's Viewing Area near section 139 as a volunteer keeping out the riff raff , LOL. Friday I'll be sticking around after my shift to cheer on Brownsburg. Stop by my section and say hi!

I'll be working the Directors Viewing Area on Thursday afternoon, and selling Programs on Friday and Saturday afternoon. Plan on staying to watch some bands after my volunteer shifts are over on Thursday and Friday, and will definitely be staying for Finals on Saturday night.

I will be at semi-finals and finals again this year. Semi-finals is always my favorite and especially this season. So stacked.
