Nicely done, O'Fallon! That wasn't the show I was expecting, but they really filled up the field without any props. Largest year ever? A few more weeks of cleaning and they'll be in good shape.

I dont know if its just me, but i feel like id take yukon over Southmoore, feel free to tell me why im wrong I think Southmoore beats Yukon in music, but Southmoore has a lot of visual dirt. I have Southmoore as a lock, and Yukon in the 13-16th range.

My personal approximate rankings from the 2nd block. My attention span is definitely dropping lol, so can't say how accurate this list is.
Standouts: -O’Fallon Township (top half of finals tier) -Southmoore (bottom half of finals tier) -Lindbergh (bubble tier) —————————— -Timberland -Fort Zumwalt North -Normal -Francis Howell North -Wentzville Holt -Francis Howell Central -Parkway South -Parkway Central -Marquette -Monticello

Southmoore was a pleasant surprise - was not familiar with that program. They could be lethal with the right design team.

Neither of them forgot Yukon. Their lists were for 2nd block of bands and Yukon was in the 1st block.

When was the last time Chuck has announced at the St. Louis Super Regional? I know Dan usually announces at St. Louis. Dan did this morning. At Super Regionals they trade off. At least in San Antonio they do and it looks like they are in St Louis today.

Does Oakville have the Nighthawks prop from Blue Devils 2018 without the painting?
EDIT: Upon further inspection I don't think it's the Nighthawk prop but it looks similar.

Looks like Oakville completely lost their electronics around the second or third movement. That’s a shame. It was still really great - it’s really hard to go wrong with Waitress.

Blue Springs sounds good, but did any feel like the tempos seemed rather slow? I’m sure they will be on fire come indy but some of it seemed rather slower and there was a bit of pushing and pulling especially during the brass feature in the opener

Not sure about the tempo, but I feel like the overall music demand and also time actually spent playing was very low. I realize the whole show doesn't seem to be on the field yet, but still I guess I'm wanting a bit more.

They play well, but the book does seem easier, and it looks like they have a decent sized chunk to add on.

I’m sure they will be on fire come indy but some of it seemed rather slower and there was a bit of pushing and pulling especially during the brass feature in the opener After watching the video online from last weekend and then watching this, it seemed like they were quite nervous. It did seem a tad slow in some parts. Hopefully they will have a better finals run. I'd also assume that is their whole show considering next week is their last week of the season.

I mean that was about 9 min, I assume that’s the whole show That is definitely surprising to me. Just watching it, I could've sworn there would be another entire movement. In that case, I am definitely left wanting a lot more than what they currently have.

A very good run from Millard West! Definitely on the Finals Bubble.

Blue Springs was nice, but I do echo a lot of the sentiments here in that I was expecting more. They sound good don't get me wrong, but it doesn't seem particularly challenging for a band of their level. It did also seem to me that there was more to be added, but if next week really is their last, then I can't help but feel they could have done a lot more.

I love Sullivan but these speakers are WAY too loud. They can play. They don’t need the speakers to do it for them.

Sullivan made their case for Class A. We'll see if anyone else can match them. Good Performance from the defending Class A Champion.

Here are my thoughts on Blue Springs. Overall, a fantastic performance from Blue Springs and I stand by my earlier post that they will easily sweep through Class AAA (though the chaotic side of me would love to see Lincoln or another AAA band steal a caption). But I do echo the sentiments of other posters here that it seemed a bit too simple for a band like Blue Springs.
Another issue I have, and this might be an issue that only I just have, but it just seemed a bit too low-energy for me if that makes sense to any of y'all. I really like the high energy shows that Blue Springs have done (my favorites are 2017 & 2021), so their show this year is not my personal cup of tea. Again, this is probably just a me issue, and I should reiterate that they had a fantastic performance.

However, I really enjoyed the visual aspects of the show especially in the first half.

If Vandegrift is into the grid
Is BSS south of the grid?

Great show from Blue Springs South! Musically, I prefer last year's show to this one, but I do believe we'll be seeing this show again tomorrow evening.
Also is it me or is Blue Springs South a little bit smaller than they have been?

The way the city and school lines work more kids may go to blue springs or a lees summit school.
