1st and 2nd - .35 apart.

3rd, 4th, and 5th - .225 apart.

7th and 8th - .05 apart.

10th and 11th - .2 apart.

WOW. That's exciting, those spreads are close enough that out of 12, 9 of those, 75% could change easily.

Watching Vanguard Cadets and Blue Devils B on Periscope, I think Vanguard Cadets have the better show. LOTS of fantastic moments and balance across every section. Blue Devils B can say that too, Color Guard is a wildcard. Their win last night was a little bit unexpected, not saying it wasn't earned. Vanguard Cadets have most of the content sub captions, just stay a little cleaner than BDB and there's your Open Class champion.

QUITE the gap opened up between the top 2 and 3,4,5. Legends were hanging around a little under 2 points under BDB just this weekend, and suddenly that gap opened up to over 5 points. GE Music and Percussion seem to be the big culprits there. GE Music 2nd place was 1.7 higher than 3rd, and Percussion 2nd place as 1.15 higher than 3rd place. I could see this gap shrinking some tonight.

Spartans, Genesis, and Legends. Talk about close. Spartans jumped up after lagging behind the other two this past week and weekend. Spartans with a huge visual strength that gave them the lead. Genesis with a music advantage. Legends most balanced across the board. These three could go any combination tonight. Way too close to call. IMO Legends have the strongest show of the 3, but we'll see.

7th Regiment chilling out in 6th place. They along with everyone else having their best shows in years.

Music City chilling out in 7th. VERY impressive show from them! Great drums according to the recap.

River City Rhythm. Wow. That's awesome! First year going and they're beating an extremely solid namestay Gold. Impressive! .4 edge in GE is what put them over the top there. Haven't seen Gold's show yet. Was very impressed with RCR at the Minnesota regional, can only imagine what they look like now.

Raiders and Colts neck and neck.

And Les Stentors to round out the finalists. Great 9th place in Color Guard!
