Ahhh, it's good to be right. Also, congrats to Lake Park on getting 2 performances!! I think it's the 2nd time the AAAA champion at a regional will perform in finals exhibition.

Really proud of Lincoln's effort today in prelims. Definitely put any fears I had post-Marshall to rest. My favorite part about that performance is that I know they can have an even better performance tonight. I agree with Marching Observer that they were a bit fatigued by the end (the heat definitely didn't help with that) but now they've got some time to regroup and get ready to get at it in finals with a good time draw. Could 2022 repeat itself again in finals? We'll just have to see.

Frankly, I've been in-out of the Box5 broadcast all day. From what I gathered in the stadium, it was a bit chaotic with ambulances and fire trucks coming in-and-out of the area. It was tough for some of the kids to focus on their show from the heat and all the events happening. But for the most part these kids endured and performed their shows admirably. All these kids and band staffs are winners!

Visually, I like what Rosemount is putting down. I'm still not sold on their high brass yet, though we'll see if things change tonight. Overall, a very solid performance from them! Sucks we weren't able to hear the opener. Consider me sold. northbanddad I have heated up my words in the microwave and I'm now eating them. WOW! My one concern for Rosemount is that they'll peak too early like they did in 2019. However, it would appear that this is the full show, and if they clean up nicely within the next month, they'll be a serious threat to win St. Louis.

Rosemount is great, but there isn’t a single aspect of that show that is unique to a Cartwright group and that’s disappointing to me. I’m one of the biggest fans of his shows out there and even I’m ready for some new designers to step into the spotlight. There’s no reason why some of the top bands in the nation should be paying the money they do for recycled shows. 🤷🏼♀️

My piece said – they performed the hell out of it. It isn’t even a question of the band members’ ability. Like every complaint I make about marching band, it’s a frustration with the decisions of the adults involved, not with the kids.

I would love to see Bellevue West win NSBA this year. It's likely gonna be close between them and Millard West. I love this corny show. Speaking of Millard West, a shame they couldn't be here today (homecoming for those wondering). Don't count them out at St. Louis though! They were only a point behind Grain Valley last week at the KC Band Championships. I'm going to stump for the Milly Train as hard as abtwitch stumped for the Henny Train last year (that should give you a hint to what their show is about)

So I was correct Pella started their preshow in Prelims earlier than the kids were anticipated, as none of the students didn't even move, and just seemed confused.

Much better run for Pella than prelims in my eyes. I really loved the certified Spinnerman© moment with the sax soloist.
