I’ve only seen Bellevue West and Blue Valley Southwest so far but WOW is my mind blown!! I love live band!! We missed Lincoln because there’s a bit of a lack of signage but we’ll see them tonight.
It’s very windy here! I wish that the guard directors would tell the guard not to toss. It’s a little scary seeing metal flagpoles and rifles land feet away where they should be…speaking from experience here 😙

Bellevue East was a pleasant surprise!! Totally sold on that performance. Though I feel like I’ve seen this show before…that was really, really well done.
I’m missing some of our usual bands, but Iowa is not disappointing me at all!

Hoping the wind dies down a bit before the evening show.

Blue Valley Southwest had some real problems with audio. Their harpist and violin soloist — big parts of their show — didn’t come through at all. But they had a great run regardless.
And at least everyone gets a chance to correct these issues tonight!

That was a really interesting concept out of Rock Island. I’d like to see it fully realized, because I feel like I’m missing a lot. Medusa?

Lincoln-Way. I love you. Ditch the tarps. How was it??? A mess!! I loved the band performance but it was swimming in penalty potential. The mics cut in and out. None of the props worked. At one point, the tarp flew up and the band parents ran out and held it down. I enjoyed the band. They performed well. But the performance was extremely stunted by the props…I couldn’t enjoy it because of how worried I was the whole time. The tarps aren’t printed or anything…I don’t think the show needs them. It need kids that survive to finish the season.

When I watched them at MEMC, I was also thinking that the big staircase would be a bit dangerous lol. I pray nobody gets hurt

A fine performance from Blue Valley Southwest. A shame that they had to drop the Waco Regional because I think they could've won Class AA there.

Not sure if they're going to allow Lincoln-Way to just drag their tarps off like that at Grand Nationals. Overall, very solid run from them.

I’m not a fan of the tarps, but if they can work out the kinks they might grow on me. The uniforms are really clever.

It was hard to understand what it does in the daytime and all the wind they were getting.

It was hard to understand what it does in the daytime and all the wind they were getting. They have one more outdoor performance (Lincoln-Way Invitational in exhibition) left to their season, BOA Indy and Grand Nationals. No more wind or sunlight for them!
