South Vigo isn't going to make finals, but I was wildly entertained. I need more metal marching band shows. I can certainly empathize with your sentiments. Indy only has a hand full of Hornrank Top 32 type bands. GN only a few more that that! Should you have been Team Texas labeled you’d be tarred and feathered after a comment like that IMO.

Folks are pretty savvy about the quality of various programs and agree that all sorts of shows entertain us in different ways.

Alright Castle and Goshen! I see ya Aren't you supposed to hate all Indiana bands?? Lol. I love Castle because these past few years that have been challenging themselves in terms music difficulty. Avon and Carmel will probably not try to pull off what Castle did last year. This program pushes the music envelope of comfortability. This encourages program growth. I feel they will be rewarded in the BOA Midwest world soon enough IMO.

Jenks!!! It's a quirky show but I enjoy it. Glad to see them back in BOA after taking last year off.

That was a fun show from Jenks. Musically I thought they were really good; the saxophone and trombone duo was excellent to listen to! Visually, there were a few moments that had a lot of dirt, but you can tell the students really enjoy performing this show.

Brownsburg was very good! It seemed to me like there were some balance/tuning issues musically. This is odd for me to say because usually I am a huge fan of bands being extra, but I think the props might be a *tad* too much for my taste. I feel like they make the field look really busy, but that's just me. I love dark shows and this one is no different! Jenks and Brownsburg seem pretty evenly matched to me. Oh and I LOVE the uniforms.

A good performance from Brownsburg! They have a lovely ballad and started off really strong, but I have to say the performance felt a bit weaker towards the end when Medea's Dance of Vengeance came in. Still liked it and thought they had some great impact moments, but I think they'll be settling in the bottom half of finals.

Brownsburg continues to improve. I really like the ending!

Oh and I LOVE the uniforms. Agree with a lot of this, but actually quite enjoy the show and think it's very aesthetically pleasing (don't mind the props and how busy it is myself). They most certainly need to work on intonation in the high brass (mellos need to reel it in and lead trumpets need more air support, sound a bit thin), but if that's what they emphasize over the next couple of weeks they feel like a solid finalist for GN. Would agree that they and Jenks are more evenly matched that I had anticipated, and that's saying a lot about how strong Jenks was.

Tha cadets 2015 have returned!Ya know for castle I really don’t think the show is necessarily doing them any favors but it isn’t holding them back either. *Cough 2018* Some of the drill is questionable in terms of spacing considering how big they are. I think with the big freshman class individual visual isn’t probably as consistent as they’d like. But it is definitely better than early season. So they are improving. So between now and Grand Nationals, they're going to switch to much darker uniforms?

Kickapoo is certainly one of my surprise bands of the day. Certainly keeping an eye on them and Franklin Central as potential finalist spoiler so far!

Camdenton beat Kickapoo by three points last week. This week…I won’t be surprised to see that flip. Really excellent showing from our Missouri bands!

This Ohioan first heard of Jasper in 2015, when I saw that they had (barely) beaten Miamisburg in the MSBA show at Colerain. Three weeks later, Miamisburg at Grand Nationals would place 30th in Prelims and 25th in Semifinals (that was their "Circus Dreams" show). Later I saw videos of both bands from Colerain, and I had to agree that Jasper deserved to be on top.
