Gonna be a quick turnaround for Westwood with a likely Finals performance on Saturday evening, then UIL State in San Antonio on Monday.

I am super excited for this super regional. Ofcourse my best friend would plan to have her wedding on this day though.. 😂 So I will be excited to wake up Sunday morning to these results. I am no history buff, but could this potentially the first time a band from Arkansas, Missouri, or Minnesota will win a Super Regional? Or even a new Super a regional champion from Texas or Illinois? I also really enjoy having these St. Louis SRs later than the Indy one. Admittedly, I wish they’d move this SR farther west to Kansas, Oklahoma, or Colorado. Still close enough for KCMO bands, Oklahoma bands and invite newcomers, St.Louis area bands aren’t to far from Indy, I guess a band like Camdenton would get the short end of the stick though for travel. St. Louis is just.. rough. I don’t know what the parking lot is like now… but you couldn’t walk into that stadium without your uniform looking like you walked through a dust storm or have someone trying to bum a cigarette off of you. I am not even going to begin to predict the outcome for all the finalist as I’ve unfortunately only seen Blue Springs and Bentonville online - I’ve seen more Texas bands than any of these sadly. But what I can say is this is probably the cleanest I’ve heard blue springs sound this early (still a few weeks out.) I know the vento’s shows are quite different than other arrangers. But whatever they are doing works for blue springs. It is quite odd to place them next to Bentonville or a Texas band. You really notice that lack of full ensemble moments. But if the judges didn’t like the solo/small ensemble moments then I’m sure they wouldn’t continue doing that design for this long. What I’ve seen so far I’d say is comparable to the last season but not as somber. I will be cheering for whoever wins though as we’ll have another historical moment for this season regardless! Unfortunately, having a major event in one of the most dangerous cities and in a stadium that is rarely used results in the lackluster conditions. Being from the St. Louis area it always disappoints me that the area has become this rundown, but it is exciting that we still get a great deal of bands coming to our area!

If Arrowhead had a roof it'd be a no brainer! I can't imagine the acoustics being very good if a roof was place on Arrowhead. Arrowhead was also engineered to bounce sound around to make the playing field as chaotic as possible for opposing teams. Can't imagine how confusing playing in a band there would be

I can't speak for how this regional will turn out, but I will say that post 5A OBA, I think Collinsville has a solid chance to place in Class A

Normal has a decent shot at making finals for the first time in the district since 1999, when both Normal West and Normal Community made St. Louis finals. Their Music Effect scores and Music Ensemble scores weren't great at ISU this past weekend (9th in finals from Beth Fabrizio in Music Ensemble, 12th from Saucedo in Music GE and 9th in Music GE from Chip Crotts),but they were right on Morton's tails in Music Individual, and Morton/Prospect in Visual.

Stranger things have happened (I’ll use Iowa this year as a weaker example - Bellevue West was second in AA and in 6th place in prelims, but jumped up to 3rd and beat the AA champion). Placements can change a lot when judges are on different captions! But yes, it’s probably more accurate to reality after your change.

I’m seeing a lot of faltering on music caption They haven’t performed at any competitions that I know of, only exhibition performances. They have some major competition this year with Bentonville & O’Fallon, their shows are amazing. I could see Bentonville or O’Fallon taking the music caption, but this is all just a prediction because Blue Springs hasn’t been in a competition yet.

Westwood H.S., TX This year is going to have a ton of spice in the top 3-6. Blue springs will likely take home first by a point or so, but I could see 2-6 being very tight. I think O'Fallon Township also can make a good case for taking GE in finals this year. The Wednesday theme is so much fun to watch and that interview with one of the guard members at Indy SR was super cool! I could definitely see Bentonville & OFT placing one way in prelims and then switching places in finals, but I wouldn't count out the other bands in that top 6 that could easily jump in the mix. We also LOVE seeing BSS at 9! Anyways, this weekend is gonna be super crazy and I predict that there will be tons of spiciness!

BTW: Hernando won Mississippi 7A State Championships by 0.55 points from the reserve state champion Germantown won beat them Visually and achieved best Guard and Percussion.
As well Millard West (NE) won NSBA States Championships beating Papillion La-Vista South, NE by 1.25 points, and only losing Best Guard Captions to PLVS.

It was actually a 1.25 point gap between them and PLVS. And I know it's different sheets but they did beat Rosemount in Visual at Youth In Music a couple weeks ago.

Despite some possible musical shakiness I still believe Blue Springs will win by a respectable margin. I reviewed the videos as well, the most recent that I saw from 10/14 the music sounded a bit raw (might of been the cold wave the midwest was experiencing at the time). Then again they must've gotten time to clean that sound in the past week.

Then again they must've gotten time to clean that sound in the past week. Normally I would say that the weather is a good excuse for musicality's sake, but I think O'Fallon had a better musical run around the same time at the Illinois Marching Band Championship at the University of Illinois. One main caveat to this take is that I saw that run in person and not over low quality YouTube audio so some of it could be that aspect, but I do agree that it sounded raw at points. Secondly, Blue Springs does have time to clean music AND they're playing in a dome this weekend so they could easily turn it up. I also haven't been able to find a video of Bentonville or Westwood, so I have no clue where they fit into the mix. Overall, who knows who will be musically better, I can see Blue Springs losing out on captions like GE & Music to any of these top bands, but I could just as easily see Blue Springs putting together an excellent run to get an easy sweep of all the captions. I guess we'll just have to see
