I have to make it over to Pasadena this year to watch Bandfest to see Hebron and BA. I don’t think BA is in the Rose Parade this year Was not aware of that. How unfortunate.

In all seriousness, does the ge tiebreaker apply in this instance to eliminate bands from finals? While very improbable, any band that ties for the final spot into Finals will be granted a performance in Finals.

So looking ahead to Finals tonight. Wondering who you all think will be in the Top Half? And will performance order of the Top Half hurt or help any particular group.
Certainly can't see it hurting either Carmel or Flower Mound.

I'm so glad Broken Arrow listed their show music in the program book. I know what ill be listening to on repeat all day tomorrow. The composer posted an Instagram message about their show!

Weird question. How many bands out of those that we expect to see in finals are wearing traditional uniforms (rather, uniforms that don’t match the show)? Watching Reagan right now I was confused what the uniforms were supposed to represent when I realized they’re just regular uniforms and not themed. Just off the top of my head I know that BA, FloMo, Marcus, Blue Springs, and Avon (sort of) are all in themed uniforms.

Seemed like a smoother showing for Ronald Reagan than last week. Still think their brass is holding them back however.

Maybe it's the accountant in me but I'd love to see the variance among band budgets from group to group.

CTJ is also sticking with the classics this season.

Not sure I have ever heard an opening hit like that from a high school band. Hope BA has no tech issues tonight. Watch Hebron

Ronald Reagan is definitely looking and sounding much better than their San Antonio performances.
I will also share my rankings list:
(definite medal tier) Broken Arrow
(maybe medal tier) Avon The Woodlands Ronald Reagan Claudia Taylor Johnson
(Finals lock tier, probably bottom half) William Mason Blue Springs Vista Ridge
(bubble bands who have good Music/Visual performance, but issues with GE) Castle Wando Round Rock
(bubble bands who have good GE, but low Music/Visual performance) Fishers Franklin

Didn't think it was possible for them to sound any better than their BOA performance but the mad lads did it.

Maybe it's the accountant in me but I'd love to see the variance among band budgets from group to group. I went down the rabbit hole of looking up 990-EZs for a couple of major bands with nonprofit booster organizations, but you can only get so much info from those. Either way, some pretty massive $$$ for some of the more well-known bands, with some big fundraising/grant numbers.
