Whoa Lincoln! That was a great run. Very good run indeed. A bit of a shame the guitar didn't come through, but everything else was great. As I said last night in my Blue Springs post, the chaotic side of me would love to see them or another AAA band steal a caption from Blue Springs. It's been incredible to see Lincoln's BOA growth since they started going to St. Louis in 2014. It doesn't hurt that their show designer, I believe, is the same designer of Bellevue West's mid-2010's shows. |

Good run Berryhill! I could definitely see this winning Class A.

There’s another band playing Mozart and Moonlight Sonata that I’m kind of glad isn’t here today. That would be awkward 😬 At the very least, it seems people are starting to get the hint about pieces like Fly to Paradise. Cause everyone plays the same rendition of it, more or less. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve even heard it once yet this season, at least at BOA. I just tuned into Johnson City. Spoke too soon and jinxed it. I digress though…  |

Good run Berryhill! I could definitely see this winning Class A. I think it’s the most cohesive. I do see Windsor above them musically. I think our top 3 will be Berryhill, Windsor, and either Sullivan or Hollister. |

There’s another band playing Mozart and Moonlight Sonata that I’m kind of glad isn’t here today. That would be awkward 😬 You’re KIDDING me. Multiple bands playing Mozart and Moonlight Sonata?! I am absolutely crestfallen, this is first I’ve heard of it! 😂 At the very least, it seems people are starting to get the hint about pieces like Fly to Paradise. Cause everyone plays the same rendition of it, more or less. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve even heard it once yet this season, at least at BOA. I heard it about 4 or 5 times at Blue Springs South’s KC Championships competition 😂 |

A bit late to this but Hollister was very nice. Definitely a medal in 1A.

I wonder when Box5 is going to notice that their graphic has been displaying incorrect bands for the past 30 minutes
Edit: They fixed it literally a minute after I made this post

Regardless of what some detractors say, Bentonville seems to be the real deal this year!

Bentonville sounded & looked terrific!! I wish they were coming to GN this year; they'd easily be in the mix for a top 25 placement.

Really good performance from Bentonville; they sounded fantastic. Sad to see they aren't going to Grand Nationals this year, I think they could have done really well with this show.

PLVS was phenomenal. Some really bad feedback issues, but hopefully it’ll be enough to pull through. Felt very much like a Mustang show, in a very very good way.

Man that was a great show by Mustang. So fun and lively, but plenty of technical parts that were executed brilliantly. Loved the aesthetics and thought they sounded phenomenal. Can't wait to see this again!

I really can't believe how much mustang has grown since their first GN Semis appearance in....2018?? This show kept the fun and unique identity they've garnered but really stepped up the demand. They are GOOD!

Nixa was quite nice! They've demonstrated slow, steady, measured growth since they leapt onto the national scene maybe a decade back, and I really respect that. The building blocks are CLEARLY there for a consistent Super Regional finalist program and GN Semifinalist. No idea how long it will take them to get there, but that's definitely their trajectory - I love their steady, sustainable growth each season. Really neat to see. I also see no reason why they can't place around Southmoore/Yukon/Fayetteville today.

NIXXXAAAAAAA!!!!! They killed it with their winter theme show. I won't accept their placement being anything under top 14.
