I've watched Lincoln's run since I've seen them in Marshall. Tonight might be their best run this year. I had to wipe away tears. Thanks for the show Lincoln.

Who knew the “saying a band’s name” thing would be all that’s needed!😂

Blue Springs! So dreamy. From the first notes of that flute solo, it's a hypnotizing show.

It is quite a different show but it still stands to by my favorite show from blue springs. Loved Lincoln's use of the chains.

Hernando! Heck yeah! Great to see they made the trip up, and I am glad to see it pay off in their finals run! Awesome music, awesome visual, awesome show. Keep up the great work!
Lake Travis. They play realllly well. Texas loud all the way, and they are very clean visually. Hope to see them again soon with a more advanced visual program, their performers have the talent to take on another level of visual demand.
LD Bell has a beautiful show! Great guard work, strong playing, and some cool props too! Lovely oboe soloist too. I hope that that one kid pulling the prop that fell was ok... Congrats Bell!
Mustang WOW! This is not the same band as last year, stunning music, stunning visual, and yeah, I am not the biggest fan of the multi colored uniforms, but honestly, that doesnt even matter. They are awesome!
O'Fallon has an awesome show! Their sections perform fantastically and that ballad is fantastic! Awesone closer with Blow It Up! Lets go O-Town!!!
Lincoln has come very far! Fun show with some strong visual and big sound! Guitarist was awesome!
Blue Springs has an incredible visual demand, as usual. The students always amaze me with how well they execute a Dci-teir visual program. Their music performance is growing on me too!

It’s between this year and 2017 for my favorite Blue Springs show…I hope that opinion isn’t too revolutionary

Well I take back what I said about Blue Springs not playing much. I guess there's just many solis and exposed sections and not too many full ensemble moments until towards the end. The closer still doesn't feel quite like a closer to me, although for whatever reason it feels slightly more concluded than my previous viewing.
I kind of like Mustang's show more to be honest though.

Blue Springs has always felt like one of the most DCI-like groups to me in high school marching band. A fairly contemporary visual program and some great soloists seem to be staples that they have every year. They were very clean visually and have some great sounds as an ensemble but I think I just prefer the more high energy shows from them like 2021. Still a fantastic performance and an easy shoe in for the silver medal.

Blue Springs was so good! The overall aesthetic is so unique, I’m digging it!
And BENTONVILLE!!!!! People they are the REAL DEAL! Wow such a fun show and executed SO WELL! 100% deserve their class medal in prelims. Bravo!!

The props on the field are so cute. Definitely a much stronger Bentonville than I remember from a few years back.

Broken Arrow was not totally undeniable tonight but they pulled off the “W” IMO! Flags were just amazing tonight. Amazing!

A dark Broken Arrow production is always their best IMO. God, I love this show 😈 Their props are pretty effective but right now they are having trouble controlling them. Plenty of time to clean that up though. They sounded and looked amazing. Honestly my favorite show I’ve seen so far this season.

Despite the criticism I really love this Broken Arrow show! So well done and I definitely have them in 1st tonight! I’m excited to see how this season progresses and how the show matures.

Fantastic, as Broken Arrow always is. I feel like it’s missing something that I hope they add in before GN

Not the best run from Broken Arrow, though I think they might have had some tech issues since I had trouble hearing some of their soloists. That said they were still far and above the rest. No doubt in my mind this will be a hard show to beat in Indianapolis.

Broken Arrow was pretty dang amazing. It seemed like their were some issues with their soloist mics but I really love their ensemble sound.
Hopefully they'll add some more stuff for Grand Nationals, but it'll for sure be between them, Carmel, & Avon in about a month!
