I’ve been stalking the boards all day, but I wasn’t able to see any of prelims except the band my brother is in. That said, y’all got me SO excited for the semis stream tomorrow!! It’s been close to ten years since I’ve actually seen a nationals show, and it seems a lot has changed in the meantime.

Where’s Balash when you need him? Soaking it up in Hawaii. 🤦🏼 I'm alive.

I don’t have a band competing and none of my Missouri bands sans Blue Springs have a shot and yet I’m STILL nervous. There’s just something about seeing all those awards on the table! That's a new feeling I experienced once I became a spectator. It's can be quite exhilarating! Though it was a bit more tricky for me once Homestead decided to step back into the BOA arena. Always hoping for the best but as long as they put on a good show, I'm okay. Just want the kids to have fun and learn too! They all had such great shows!! I could not hold back my tears!! You’re so right.

Oh yeah. I just mean that they aren’t bad by any means. They’re still one of the best bands in their class and state, but they’ve unfortunately fallen behind. You’re right-it will happen to every band someday, and then new bands will take their place. I remember in 2018 a few people said BA was falling off! I wonder who the big names will be when I’m old enough to have kids on that field. I bet some of them haven’t even opened yet! Just stop. The writing in this show is impeccable. They’re timeless. Stubborn. And good. I’d take this over a wannabe drum corps-esque program ANY DAY. Probably best for people to in any case give a program time to “pick themselves back up” to where they were, anyone that has as storied a history as Marian Catholic can figure things out as the coming years are very much back to the regular yearly band cycle, not interrupted by a worldwide pandemic. Don’t see anything wrong with the bands elevating their performance levels as well, they’re not wannabe drum corps, they’re groups executing at the highest levels of guard, marching, music at the high school level. Everyone has their preferences when it comes to the activity, I know I do, they all deserve respect.

Bentonville out is a shock for me. I had them as a solid lock for semifinals given their St. Louis performance.

Seems they fixed the schedule to put all of the top 22 after the first break. Good for Wando!

Paging all marching junkies. Anything surprising? Signal Mountain claiming a Class A spot is a huge accomplishment for that band. Lakota East and Bentonville missing out is even more surprising than Center Grove and Lawrence Township missing out. I predicted 29 of 34 semi-finalists, but I'm sure other prognosticators did just as well.

Realize that I’m an Indy homer but Center Grove and Lawrence were robbed this year. Such quality performances too. No way PCEP or Jenison should be above them. Would add Lakota to be ahead of those two groups as well.
