I believe and I could be wrong, but back when it was 10 bands for finals. JFB got 10th place in 2011 at Jacksonville, AL. That sounds about right but it’s been so long I literally can’t remember. It’s been a tough year. Going from 14th at Grand Nationals to bottom six in less than a year. These challenges will surely make them better but this year is what it is. I want to say from a perspective of an outside observer that this is NOWHERE near being a fall as some make out to be. Transitions can be very difficult to overcome, but JFB has still progressed so well despite the change. With the same design team, directors, and group of kids, I don't see any reason why JFB couldn't return to the tier of GN finalist status soon. This is a very tough top 6.

Thank you all for the answers, we are all pumped to go have another shot at it, we all know another level is possible, be prepared

We believe they will get there soon. I believe in this new director and his vision. No one in the JFB tribe is panicking, but they are adjusting to the change. This is a very young band and will bounce back nicely.

So back on topic, I feel like the Seminole run was a tick better than their prelims performance.

Cleveland with a stronger follow up as well. Great support in the stands too.

West Harrison parents are currently absolutely overjoyed with this. Very happy for them.

Speaking of, at least from down low, this does not look like a bottom half run. Great performance so far

I feel like that JFB run is 7th but I have been puzzled by judges too many times to say that with confidence.

WOW Tarpon! That show has such a high demand and is being performed at such a high level! SUCH a different show that what BA brought to Orlando, so it's going to be interesting to see where things fall tonight. I was highly entertained!

I’m right on top of the field. I gotta know if that run felt as good upstairs or over the broadcast as it did down here.

I won the Eagle during my time there and I’ve never seen that ensemble so locked in, especially at this point of the season.

Florida band program development is really accelerating. This entire field - top to bottom - is a step above the Conway regional. And Cleveland is the best NC program I’ve seen perform in person. Such a great regional.

Owasso that was fantastic! I only saw visual because I was watching William Mason with sound, but that seemed to be a run to be proud of! Fingers crossed for 3rd, I think you all can do it!

I feel like music has always been Owasso's strong suit, but this year seems to be more so. Glad David Gorham is back in play

Harrison killed it imo, especially being 1/3 of the size of the band right before them lol

Whew…so far I don’t have the moxy to call first/second. IMO, Owasso 3rd and Timer Creek 4th from what I’ve seen. Stoneman could change that but Harrison feels like a 6th place. Byrnes would call 7th a win but I’m not even sure that’s the case in this field.

FYI If you're not here, they stopped the show for a few mins because there's a rocket launch like 45 mins away that we should be able to see.
