Posting again because the semi-finals forum is now old news! I’m a big Castle fan ever since 2016, and I am so happy to see them in finals again❤️. On another note, I would like a discussion on how you can compare a show like Tarpon’s to Carmel in a GE level. They are both so different, yet astonishingly well designed in different ways. Is that the part of the activity that is truly up to judges preference and/luck? I can only give my opinion based on what I saw at Indy Super Regional, and my uneducated opinion. I thought Carmel was somewhat boring, and not such a difficult show. To me, it was all about how large they were and not how good they were. I may eat my words tonight, but every time I've seen Tarpon Springs, their show has been very difficult both musically and visually; something that Carmel wouldn't achieve at the same band size. I agree! I would never knock carmels talent, but I would love to see them do something outlandish at some point!

Wow! What an exciting evening! Best of luck to all finalists. COVID has me down for the count this year so I'll be tuning in from the couch. Can't wait to see all these shows one more time.

Listen. I’m full on Sickos Committee for results tonight. I want maximum chaos and surprise. Semis Awards gave me a taste of what could be. Give me: - Mason/Tarpon top 2. I prefer Tarpon’s show but a first time winner out of nowhere would give me LIFE. - ABC shut out of captions. Spread the love. - Carmel third. Avon streak broken. - DB beating BA. Only outcome more chaotic than BA getting beat by one of Wes’s other bands is getting beat by two of them in the same round. - Southlake in 7th. Going from the Texas laggard to the leader would be a fantastic storyline. - Similarly, Castle up to 8. They were behind the other two Indiana bands in the bottom half all season so now they need to be up! I’d be okay with Brownsburg here too since people were most skeptical about them going into this afternoon. - and I want scores to start low or all above 90. Don’t start at 87/88 and move up gradually. That’s boring. Who else is with me? Who else wants the CHAOS?! I am going to be shocked if a TX band places above 7th... still don't see anyone beating Carmel... Either Avon or Mason is Second. DB no higher than 6th... Broken Arrow and Tarpon Springs tight for 4/5..

Here we go! Not going to lie, it makes me a little sad that the last finals of the season has begun. Best of luck to all of the groups!

This isn’t an exercise in being rational or realistic or predictable.
It’s an exercise in chaos. Live in the chaos.

I"m getting really low frame rates on Box5. Sound is good, but video is jumpy. Maybe 15 fps. Damnit.

WONDERING IF THIS COLDER WEATHER IS AFFECTING THEM A LITTLE... FROM OUTSIDE TO INSIDE. FISHERS SOUNDED BETTER EARLIER TODAY... I THINK.

Fishers is looking shiny and sparkly. Definitely some good drill writing and visual effects to match the music being played.

Fishers was fun, enjoyed the tone quality-nice blended sound. I’m not a visual guy, it was good, I will mostly comment on sound, and I dug it. Nicely done, Fishers.

I feel like SL Carroll and Prosper were both overlooked, SL Carroll erroneously being looked at as the band that’ll lag behind the other Texas bands in attendance for one reason or another. Both of these bands would’ve placed well at BOASA had they gone, and both bands, as I mentioned in another post nearly qualified for UIL state in very competitive areas for the state, only losing out to another band in tiebreakers. They got cookin’ the last few weeks due to being able to stay at home instead of long trips and contests in San Antonio, they came in very refreshed and ready to compete and it showed!!
