Did anyone see Beavercreeks performance? I wasn't able to go due to something coming up last minute The show is a lot of fun! Think of it has thematic as what Plymouth-Canton EP did last year. Including a car! Just a different make, model, and most definitely year LOL. Probably their most ambitious music book to date too. As for my rankings... Well, I figured I'd just give you all them after the final prelims band now. Have to leave some more mystery for everyone

It's that time that pretty much no one waits for, cares about, or wants LOL. Presenting my final personal rankings of the groups in prelims. I'm about to get very controversial here me thinks so I'll try and write a quick blurb on some groups that may seem.....out of place. Remember, it's all just my subjective opinion and you can disagree all you like. Art can be seen many different ways after all. Rankings: 1. Madison Central (KY) 2. Lakota West (OH) - I think the opening trumpet may have set them back just enough here. Come finals, they could push past to first again. 3. Lawrence Township (IN) - Much stronger than last week imo with lots of room to grow still. 4. Westfield (IN) - They are just so clean in what they do and they have basically a full show on now which helps. But this does have a ceiling. 5. Goshen (IN) - Incomplete show and the visuals felt maybe a bit a step back dynamically from last year. Group could surge though once complete. 6. Miamisburg (OH) - It took a little bit for me to understand a few things, but once it clicked, the show made sense and they perform it very well. 7. Lindbergh (MO) - I'll be the first to admit I wasn't expecting much and they did actually blow right past my expectations. 8. Worthington Kilbourne (OH) 9. Beavercreek (OH) - It's very ambitious for them musically and they are't quite achieving that level yet. 10. LaRue County (KY) - This is probably my darkhorse for finals but I was still quite impressed with what they had on the field and performance. 11. Reeths-Puffer (MI) - The opening was rough musically but it got better as the show went on. 12. Mars Area (PA) - Carmel light anyone? 13. Fairfield (OH) 14. Grayson County (KY) 15. Central Crossing (OH) 16. Dublin Coffman (OH) 17. Hilliard Bradley (OH) 18. Louisville Male (KY) 19. Archbishop Carroll (OH) - This group ahead of Alter?! I know it's a bit crazy but they performed really well and I thought they handled the job that Alter normally does very well too in its style. It was simply cleaner which pushed them ahead. 20. Archbishop Alter (OH) - Here's the big one. The shows performance just wasn't there and the show is incomplete. Clean and finish and you've got yourself another award winning show. But for now, I thought AC just out did what AA does. 21. Bellbrook (OH) 22. Norton (OH) 23. Heath (OH) 24. Walter E. Stebbins (OH) 25. South Point (OH) 26. Greenon (OH) 27. Dixie Heights (KY) Alright...that's about all I have time for now. Have at it! It's all just for fun so let's enjoy whoever makes finals tonight!

Very well, Madison Central ticked all the boxes they needed to to take home a championship here. They were clean musically with emotional highs and lows in the music that was well arranged and flowed together. They had lots of visual you could grab onto to watch the felt good for this time of year. I may have been slightly bias in that the show is basically Homestead 2011 sooooooooo...... lol. Clearly though, as awards panned out, I was a bit off the mark here. But that's okay! I just have fun doing it.
