- Morton, IL
- Rosemount, MN
- Westwood, TX
- Lakota East,OH
- Grain Valley, MO
- Blue Springs South, MO
- Hernando, MS
- Camdenton, MO

A: Marian Catholic (will win because Greg Bimm lives on forever) AA: Morton (will win because of the contrabass clarinet) AAA: Blue Springs (will win because they are "becoming" an actual drum corps) AAAA: Bentonville (will win because sunflowers and yelling "weeeeee")
Westwood in 7th is a surprise, also having Grain Valley beat BSS

I like the faith in Germantown! This definitely could be their first year into finals of a super regional, they’ve looked really good this year, with a strong visual show!

Why you got Westwood so low on what’s perhaps their best season in history? Just faith in other programs? That’s a great question. The real answer? I honestly didn’t do good research, and am now seeing them in the conversation to medal or even win. HOWEVER I also view predictions like making a bracket for March Madness. You gotta include a couple of upsets(it makes boring predictions a little spicy right?) . I mean, if farleigh Dickinson can beat Purdue, can’t Westwood get 7th? I don't think they will, but it’s not something to rule out

That is what us Westwood fans say. Well it's really what the kids say. They are on their way to St. Louis. I'm tired for them and I'm not even going. They have had a magical season so far. Here's hoping for a medal!

Westwood’s current show(“Birds on a Wire”) opens with the same music from Ori and the Blind Forest that Bentonville’s last year show (“Lady”) opened with. If Westwood bests Bentonville this weekend, it would either be tragic or poetic, depending on who you are rooting for.

If Westwood bests Bentonville this weekend, it would either be tragic or poetic, depending on who you are rooting for. If I had a nickel for every time Westwood brought a bird-themed show to St. Louis, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's interesting that it's happened twice now.

Super excited to see Blue Spring’s show in person. I thought their show last year was freakin beautiful. But I’m not “in the know”, so I’ve only seen a crappy YT video of this year’s show that’s at a horrible angle, has about 100 pixels, and poor audio quality. I’m assuming the hype is coming from people that have seen it in person or have access to better videos.
Haven’t found a video of SLCs show, but love OFTs and Westwood’s shows.
Can’t wait for tomorrow! Heading there tomorrow afternoon, so going to miss Friday’s prelims in person.
Good luck to all the bands! Going to be a great weekend no matter who wins!
