On the plus side, Cavies are on deck!

True, they slayed. Bloo's to do list: 1. Slay

So, Blue Knights... uh, yeah. I'm sorry to say this is the only show ive6seen this season, World or Open that I really don't care for. I liked it on video but live it just didn't do anything for me. Overall seems too easy. Other than some horn runs here and there not a lot of technical stuff. And visually it is VERY simple. There's a whole lot of not marching and not spinning normal guard equipment. And what's there is not very clean. I'm a little flummoxed. I really liked their trilogy of shows 2014-16 but I'm not responding to this at all. Sorry, BK. (sad face)

Crowd REALLY responded to Bluecoats. Horns turn and face front at the end of the slow number, which I think is new. Nice effect to switch from live to mics back to live. Ending is a bit different eith a double snake to the front. Super exciting run for Bloo!

I guess I missed all the guard drops! Don't revoke my rifle card, please.

Crown was, of course, excellent. Drums appeared to be slaying it. Guard had a good show, horns were insane. I thought the vocalist sounded the best I've heard her. The mix seemed to downplay her in n12k1, which I liked a lot. Sort of a CROWN set at the end. Might morph later?

Great closer flags. Very effective and clean as a whistle

Good job, Music City. They really sold the program, very tribal. Strong visual, corps march very well and guard is super clean. Very capable. Horns are good, a little shaky at times in the upper voices but nice full sound.

I literally LOL'd.

I just got my meningitis vaccination so I'm pretty confident I can go amongst them without too much risk.

I think every band kid in Tennessee, most of Kentucky and parts of Alabama and Mississippi are here.

I don't 'scope but I'll try to provide some commentary and maybe a photo or two.

I'm parked in the garage. $15 Special Event Parking and when I got in there at about 5p there were plenty of open spaces, plus med staff on their way out. Just finishing up dinner at Kay Bob's and getting ready to head over to the stadium. No rain at this time. Keep fingers crossed.

Thanks to all of you who provided in-person commentary. Keep it up!

Done, and wishing Pioneer the best of luck for these last two weeks. Finish strong!

I will be there, my first time at this show. I was planning on getting to the stadium at about 5pm then find parking and food. Do you think the restaurants within walking distance will be jammed and should I eat before getting there? I'm flying solo and have what I think is a pretty awesome seat, on the center aisle, row 32. BTW, I just checked Ticket master and the only seats left are outside the 10s.
