Cole’s play by plays are so good I can almost feel the biting cold of the BA Memorial Stadium air all the way here The sun just came out, so there’s some sweet relief for now

Cole’s play by plays are so good I can almost feel the biting cold of the BA Memorial Stadium air all the way here Who needs a live stream when you have a Cole! 😂 I don’t want to jinx it, but the rain has stopped and the sun is out! I still have my blanket on, and crocs were a bad idea for my poor toes, but a glimmer of hope maybe? Also, Stillwater is fighting HARD for a spot in finals! I really enjoyed their show, and I’m a sucker for a good overall aesthetic. It’s really going to come down to the tiny details, but I could see that in finals for sure! Definitely a performance to be proud of!

Putnam City North’s show was so cute! I liked all of the ocean imagery and especially the part where the guard had little fish flags. Great job!

Moore was REALLY good! I genuinely think in a different year, that could have made finals. This year is just so tough, but I would say Moore is moving in the right direction! Lots of good things going for them. Also, shout out to their front ensemble, they were a blast to watch! Fun fact: my college band director was the director at Moore back in the days that they made GN Semifinals.

Deer Creek! Last year I had them in my finals predictions for OBA as a hot take. This year, I have them in because they are AMAZING! I would be surprised if Deer Creek isn’t in finals. They are LOUD and I really like their show. I doubt this would happen, but with 2 weeks to clean until GN, my Deer Creek hot take of the year is that they make semifinals. Great job!

My prediction of Deer Creek above Union stands. Their music was UNREAL. Visual was pretty dirty though. I think they have a good shot at winning 6A2

I seriously think Deer Creek was top 8 in music

Edmond North is definitely not out of the finals conversation! I enjoyed their show, and even though they seem a little on the small side this year, they are performing what they’ve got very well. And they have such a unique show theme!
As for the crocs, sounds like a worthwhile investment! And I’m totally signing the petition to get HornRank charms lol

And we are back! Edmond Santa Fe is blowing me away this year! They might not be the loudest band, but they how some power in their sound. The musicianship in their soloists is remarkable! I really think they have a very good shot at 5th place today! I see them as top half for sure. PLEASE ESF, go to BOA next year!

Westmoore did a fantastic job! I enjoy colored ladder shows for absolutely no reason whatsoever. This is another show that I could see in finals in a different year. Some great music moments, technical woodwind passages, and a fun theme. Visually, this show looked like a Cartwright show, but I’m not sure if he designs for them? Great job Westmoore!

Mustang was PHENOMENAL! I stand by this being their year to make GN Finals. So much fun, and you can tell the students are having a blast! I have them above Jenks, but both bands were incredible today. Going to be interesting to see how things end up shaking out!

Mustang is a GN Finals lock for me now.

Mustang really wanted that, that was just amazing, def number 1 out if everyone so far, excited to see their finals performance

Edmond Memorial is looking and sounding good! It’s hard for me to place them in relation to Edmond North. Definitely solidified themselves a bubble band near the top! I think they might make finals or be like 1st out. Really great stuff!

Enjoyed seeing how Tahlequah’s show has matured since I saw them at Owasso. One of the smaller bands today, but that doesn’t stop them from packing a punch! Congrats on an awesome season Tahlequah, I’m excited to see how y’all grow in the coming years!
Broken Arrow is up, and it looks like it could start raining any second. Hopefully Mother Nature wait until the break

BROKEN ARROW. That’s the post.
But also, yes BA! They did amazingly! I think at GN this will be a very VERY competitive show. I generally am against sequel shows, but this one is so different from last year that I dig it!

I generally am against sequel shows, but this one is so different from last year that I dig it! Yes, LOVED BA! I noticed that their guard seemed to be ‘marking’ or replacing big tosses with a more simple move (I’m not a guard person lol, not sure what to call it). I wonder if they choose a more conservative approach for prelims and go all out in finals.

Southmoore!!! I loved the show and how it has progressed since St. Louis. It started pouring during their performance, but they endured and put on a great show! Hopefully they get a rain free performance in finals!

After a short rain delay, Owasso played beautifully! This show has grown a lot on me over the season, and I think they did a brilliant job with it! I love the big POP when the props turn around. Great job Owasso!

Bixby’s show is unreal. At the rate that Bixby and Mustang are improving, BA has its work cut out for them these next couple of years. I genuinely believe Bixby has a shot at silver today. It’s TIGHT between them, Mustang, and Jenks. I could see those 3 going anyway. The crowd reaction to Bixby was incredible. They did THAT!!! Welcome to 6A-1 Bixby!!

Bartlesville was fun! As an architecture nerd, I am all about their show over Frank Lloyd Wright’s only skyscraper! Congrats on a great season B-ville!
Only a couple of bands left!

Yes Choctaw!!! They had a very solid performance, and I fully expect them to make finals. I liked all of the ways they used the white fabric to bind the band, especially what they did with the front ensemble! Choctaw was the town over from where I went to high school, so it’s good to see them doing well!
Fun Choctaw story you didn’t ask for: At the 2014 Renegade Review, one of the Choctaw trumpet players forgot their instrument at home, so they used my trumpet for their prelims performance!
