This looks pretty good to me. Unfortunately I have this sinking suspicion that Homestead’s early time slot yesterday is going to curse them though. I hope I'm wrong because it really was a good performance! Who do you think will be ahead of them?

I was referring to the High Cam. They zoom in and try to follow the band, but don't always zoom back out. It's tough coordinating all of the events that a small company like theirs is tackling today. They are probably paying a recent college graduate like $250 to man this thing. They should just leave the cam as a static wide-shot throughout. No need to pan, tilt or zoom.

First of all, great job to all of the bands that attended prelims yesterday and today. I truly believe that everyone brought their best performances forward. What a great collection of themes we got to see from bands both large and small. It was great to see essentially a mini preview of what Grand Nationals will look like. With that said, here are my personal rankings. Keep in mind, as always, these are just my personal thoughts and could see it going in any number of ways and will pretty much not be shocked by anything that occurs during awards. I am basing my Class awards on what we last saw from yayband so there could be some groups mis-classed. But ah well. It's all just for fun! Would also like to say that by about band 65-70....I was starting to get band fatigue so things started to get funky as I was attempting to go back and remember all the previous shows....so yeah. I'm really starting to feel old at this point now haha! Updated Picks: Panel 1: Carmel Blue Springs Avon Fishers Collierville Panel 2: William Mason Brownsburg Lincoln-Way Community Jenks Homestead Last 4: Goshen* Castle* Kennesaw Mountain** Lafayette** Next 4: Kickapoo* Westfield** Grain Valley** Franklin Central** Combined Ranking: 1. Carmel 2. Blue Springs 3. Avon 4. William Mason 5. Fishers 6. Brownsburg 7. Lincoln-Way Community (I know I'm in the minority on this but I said what I said lol) 8. Jenks 9. Homestead (This is not on bias and know that the first band on in the Panel is always in the toughest spot...based on performance) 10. Goshen (yep...ahead of Castle...but just barely) 11. Castle (just one tick behind in the cleanliness...but it's super close imo) 12. Kennesaw Mountain 13. Collierville (biggest surprise of the weekend for me perhaps?) 14. Lafayette ------------------------------- 15. Kickapoo (Was the biggest surprise of the weekend until Collierville...honestly...about tied on surprise!) 16. Westfield 17. Grain Valley 18. Franklin Central Class AAAA 1. Carmel 2. Avon 3. William Mason Class AAA 1. Blue Springs 2. Goshen 3. Castle Class AA 1. Grain Valley 2. Camdenton 3. Greenwood Class A 1. Edgewood 2. NorthWood 3.

Pretty sure NorthWood would be at least AA considering they're Indiana Class B.

Poor Homestead Ultimately I think it will be a combination of the early time slot and their visual scores that are what kept them out. Congratulations to everyone who made finals at this stacked competition!!!

Good for Union! I love when they say in random order but then the last few announced are the suspenseful bubble band spots lol. Definitely some surprises in the finalists. Crazy to see Homestead out.

Before I start to go into detail on the show, I would just like to make this post regarding Homestead because I would be remiss as an alum and fan without acknowledging my thoughts. Further thoughts in an additional post after.
I could not be prouder of the Homestead Band because they had a truly amazing performance yesterday! Though they did not make finals, it was an incredibly tough field to compete against. Certainly 2 or 3 questionable groups making it, but it was stacked. Going on first for a set of judges has almost always been detrimental for any marching ensemble. For any band member or staff reading, know that you had a phenomenal run and that you have really set the bar high for yourself. The ceiling of your show is very high and I believe that you can achieve it. While other groups are already hitting theirs, the growth the show will continue to have can and will exceed theirs if you continue to press onward. Let this fuel you as you press onward for the next three weeks. There is no finish line for we believe! Now go out there and get it!

As I mentioned earlier this week, I love to be proven wrong and Union sure proved me wrong! I'm sure the students in the Renegade Regiment are estatic.
Anyways, the finals thread is now posted. Should be a fun one tonight!

I think there were a number of really great performances in prelims (most of Indiana Class B killed it this weekend) but this is the nature of the game. There are only so many finals spots.
