I thought I saw it was just DM's but I hope that is wrong. The Retreat is special and sensational seeing all those bands on the field. and yes, the Finals are going to be crazy good, so sit back and enjoy the shows!!!

All the bands have been fantastic, but The Woodlands show just wakes you up. Full tilt from start to finish. And that Guard!! Awesome show! Should be Top five in my book.

I thought it was established in another thread that there will be no retreat tonight, just drum majors, maybe I’m wrong or maybe they changed it in the past few days.

What a performance from the The Woodlands. Their shows never disappoints. Full throttle from start to finish. And that Guard is so awesome. Dead on every time. They should be in the top six.

I'm bummed for that sax soloist, but the good news is they'll get to do it again tonight. That opening hit really sticks with you, and they are handling some pretty challenging music very well. No idea where they slot in but they'll most definitely be playing tonight.

Vista Ridge. Best woodwind soloist feature we didn’t get to hear at Semis, 🤟

Not always the best to have a small tear in the closer, but Vista Ridge is a solid lock for finals. They sound very strong and play cleanly. There are a few spots I don't particularly think are effective visually (drum break and second movement), but overall a good showing from them.

Not their best run, but I'm sure they'll give it their all tonight. Great job, Vista.

Comments like this make me crack up. Just people choosing to be offended out here :/ You may want to research the smiley and what it means before coming on as a new user and assuming I was offended. I guess lack of sense of humor cracks me up, ironic though that may be ha! New member, long time lurker, but nice try gatekeeping an online forum lmao. Those darn smiley faces! Can’t tell if they’re genuine or passive aggressive, wouldn’t expect an old timer like you to understand the dual meaning emojis carry nowadays. Anyways carry on

I love Vista Ridge but I really wish they would work more with their color guard. Surely one of the greatest groups in the nation can cast some more performers and then not have them stand around so much. That’s the only thing I can even think they can improve upon because to my ears that sounded fantastic! What a powerful sound.

Retreat will be DM's only but I believe I've heard that they will still have the bands sitting in the stands along both end zones. Those familiar with how ISSMA sets up their bands after they have performed will know what I'm talking about.

BA is always the most gorgeous band on the field. What a presence!

Is this as opposed to the kids in other bands that have made the difficult decision to not want to be in finals:) I see how that could easily be misconstrued. But, no, that is not what I was trying to say. I know. I'm certainly guilty of using sports lingo but I also enjoy having fun with it.

Their shows all are instantly recognizable ....to me at least. I love t the shows but maybe don't love this element of it as much. But I think they could win any given year and it would be hard to argue it. Spooky good.
