I hadn’t seen homestead until just then, I didn’t think the missing mic on that solo was too big a deal. It almost worked for me from an effect standpoint. I liked that show quite a lot.

Homestead has been having electronics issues repeatedly this season right? (sigh)

I think Homestead was pretty good! Definitely don't see them falling off the map anytime soon (I know the alumni here would rather be pleasantly surprised than blissfully optimistic ) The show still has some visual dirt. But I thought the high brass while restrained, was pretty clean. Weapon line was box 5

Homestead has been having electronics issues repeatedly this season right? Yes they have. The main issues were attributed to power supply and they got a huge generator that they now use to power everything. Today the wireless mic was the problem which I think every band should not use!! They are a problem for bands every year. I really do like this Homestead show and wish there was 2 more weeks for them to get this show to its peak!

I'd be curious as to how they looked today vs earlier performances, in that regard.

Thought Homestead was great, despite the mic issue. Lot of energy today!

The ridiculous demand in this show will make them top 22 IMO. They are moving and playing more than most bands in the country. Good job Homestead! It's an impressive show, but I think that is a serious exaggeration.

It's an impressive show, but I think that is a serious exaggeration. I would actually have to disagree with you. This year Homestead probably in the top 10% percentile of bands here marching and playing simultaneously the most.

Just as I thought Homestead was having a decent run, and the mic didn't work The run was still decent enough. Fortunately, the one mic not working was for a more 'minor' section. Nothing nearly as catastrophic as the Indy Finals run. I thought the State Finals run was a little better but here is to hoping for one more run and it all to truly gel together! I still think it's a really fun show and love watching/listening to it.

This year Homestead probably in the top 10% percentile of bands here marching and playing simultaneously the most. designers are asked to balance a high movement risk at BOA. Sometimes you lose quality in one area just to merit the other. The trick is a balance IMO. I can barely chew gum and walk at the same time. 😂

I think DB had a good run! But I think they have a better one in them. That first simple gifts hit was way out of time

Gorgeous show from DB, but I don't think that will be enough for them to be in finals.

DB is the first band i've been able to catch today. I'm still feeling very indecisive whether they'll be appearing in finals or not, and definitely Appalachian Spring is feeling super cliche to me. I guess I'll wait and see how the other bubble bands perform tonight.

That opening hit was highly suspect. But the show itself is very beautiful to be sure.

If I could only WATCH the band! They sound incredible though. From what I saw before the stream paused on me, that guard is just fantastic. I also really like the way Dobyns-Bennett uses props in this show- they aren’t restrictive whatsoever. They feel truly large and distant, like real mountains. They’re designed very well. And the fences are so cute! I get Yee Haw vibes, but they’re still distinct and used very nicely by the band. I feel like the brass isn’t finals quality (but I’m a guard girl with an untrained ear), but this show flows together so well that it’s negligible for me.

I can't count myself a Dobyns-Bennett fan this year, but the Promise of Living ballad is just absolutely gorgeous. Beautifully written.

I’m in love! 😍 Considering they don’t march, I’m guessing they invited choir students to be a part of the production. It’s a super thoughtful way of incorporating other performing arts students!
