I was convinced MPLT would make it. Ugh. Yeah, that was the one band I had in the top 30 and the judges did not.

Looks like Bourbon, Murray, and Beechwood made it in on score. Didn’t expect it. I thought one might sneak in, but all 3. This makes 1A even more exciting!!!!!

No Marian is not surprising but still hard to fathom being a real thing 😢

Aww no Catawba Ridge, I get it though I didn't catch their performance, but it's wild to me that the winners of a regional competition didn't place in semis. Just goes to show how stiff the competition is this year. Looking forward to the recaps after the whole event is said and done.

No Marian is not surprising but still hard to fathom being a real thing 😢 Sad but unfortunately not shocking considering the field this year. Would have never believed it if you told me that just a few short years ago! I feel the same about Center Grove and Lawrence Township also 😭

Don't they call it the Gregg Bimm director's lounge? I can't think of any other director who has done more to spearhead the direction and decorum of our activity.

While I love cheering for bands that do advance, I always have my heart broken by bands that I thought would (Marian, Lawrence Township, Center Grove)

I don't know why I thought Rockford (MI) was playing. Even though I looked at the schedule 100s of times In my head I thought it was weird they are leading Ohio State play before Rockford. LMAO

Would have never believed it if you told me that just a few short years ago! I feel the same about Center Grove and Lawrence Township also 😭 Marian held on for the longest time. Now, Carmel has set the record for the most consecutive BOA Grand National Semifinals appearances. Along with Marian, they were the only two bands who have made semifinals in every year. Marian does hold the record, if you want to dive into the weeds, of at least advancing from prelims at a BOA Grand Nationals (1984-2021). Minor, but noteworthy. Like I said earlier today, I give all of these bands credit for coming back year after year, including some of the groups that ended up making semis (after missing at times), like PCEP, Centerville. Just shows that a different year/field/slot/panel can yield better results for any program willing to fight through it. Bet Marian was slaughtered in GE. Too bad, but congrats to all of the semifinals bands.

What a huge accomplishment for Jenison! While they’ve made semis multiple times over the years, this is their first time in the middle 22 since 2000.

Thanks Chuck for about giving me a heart-attack by waiting to announce Rosemount till the very end. Congrats to Rosemount for a Top 22 placement!
Also wanted to congratulate Lakota West for making it too. I, like some others, were shocked that they didn't make finals at St. Louis so I'm sure they're very happy they got in semifinals.

Honestly it had me shaking cause I didn’t know when the last band would be called. Myself and many others I knew. Very exciting for them and their top 22. So proud of them from being in the bottom 8 last year. My heart’s with you Rosemount!!

Morton over Kiski and Byrnes is a bit strange to me, but I can’t hate it. Their hornline is beyond stellar.
Three bands that missed Super Regional finals made semifinals: Hendrickson, TX, Lakota West, OH, and Homestead, IN. Lakota West and Homestead were first out at St. Louis and Indianapolis respectively.
Very disappointing to see Marian Catholic out. But congratulations to Grain Valley, MO, for being the third band from Missouri to make Grand National Semifinals! Soon I’ll stop counting. I’m thinking South is next. 🤞🏻

If they are one of the first 4 (after the class performances) to perform or last 4 they are the lower scores of the semi-finalists (didn’t make the panel). The true first 4 are in by class and the next 4 are apart of the next 8

So proud of them from being in the bottom 8 last year. My heart’s with you Rosemount!! How do you know if a band made it in the top 22? Based on performance time. The next 8 is split - 4 at the beginning and 4 at the end. But the ones at the beginning come after any class qualifiers. The top 22 this year start after the 9:30 break and end with Homestead.
