The split between panels was 19 from Panel 1 and 15 from Panel 2. Top 22 was split 13 from Panel 1 and 9 from Panel 2.
Class A - Murray made it on score. Archbishop Alter, Bourbon County, and Signal Mountain are class advancers. Class AA - Jenison, Marian Catholic, and Norwin made it on score. Morton is a class advancer

Also, super disappointed to not see following groups in semis:
Bentonville (very confused how, I had them on the lower end of the bubble in the O’Fallon-Rosemount range; similar to STL) Center Grove — HOW does this happen twice in a row? Twice now they’ve had amazing performances at both GN and Indy but only advance at the latter…
Miamisburg (!?), MPLT, Estill Co, Beechwood (who won a state championship two days ago lol)
Cannot wait to see those recaps.

Here’s a question: I have a horse in this race in the first block so I can’t miss that, but I have an errand I have to run tomorrow between 11-3. If I *must* miss 30-60min, where do I dip?
Edit: the exh./break, duh

Go after Round Rock. There’s a block of bands that will all be in finals and then a university exhibition. I’m doing the live stream, so I sadly won’t be able to see finals. I might miss the first couple after the break. I very seriously don’t want to miss Centerville! I loved seeing them when I was in school. Are they still “Centerville Jazz”?

And yes, if you can fit in the exhibition and break that’s the perfect spot.

Happy to see 3 members of Team Illinois making semis. Best of luck to all bands, but Marian, O'Fallon and Morton in particular.

So Norwin won AA in prelims … just as I’ve been saying they would since August I dont think that is correct. To my understanding Top 22 doesnt mean the Top 22 Bands of Prelims, it means the Top 11 from Panel 1 and Panel 2 (respectively). Norwin being in the "Top 22" actually means that they were in the Top 11 Bands from Panel 2 (the panel that they competed in). Marian Catholic competed in Panel 1 so there is no way to infer that Norwin won AA. You could infer that Norwin beat Jenison in Prelims because they both competed in Panel 2 with Norwin making Top 11 and Jenison making Next 8 but that is the only thing we can say for certain as of now.

This is not correct. The middle 22 spots (class representatives excepted) represent the top 22 overall from prelims. Norwin “won” class AA in prelims.

I think this is the first semi finals appearance for Signal Mountain.
If Murray wins the class A title, that will make it 44 years since their last GN Class A title.
If Norwin wins the class AA title, that will make it 37 years since their last GN class title (they were in Open class back then which was remaned class AAA in 1986).
If Blue Springs wins class AAA, they will become the first band from Missouri to win a Grand National class title.
Since the start of the semi finals format in 1996, Carmel and Marian Catholic are the only two bands to have made semi finals every single year.
I can tell Marian has been heavily affected by the pandemic, perhaps more so than a lot of other bands. Show them some love, they deserve it. I expect they will be much stronger next year.
Congrats to my fellow Michigan bands, Rockford, Plymouth-Canton and Jenison.

Congrats to my fellow Michigan bands, Rockford, Plymouth-Canton and Jenison. Miamisburg was 1st in AA going into semis in 2019, only for Marian to sweep in semis. Good for Norwin to be in first going in, and it would be quite the year if someone aside from Marian was performing Saturday night to represent AA, but I’m definitely not counting them out. Wish we could see scores to know exactly how close the top 3 are (or aren’t). 🤷🏼
