They really dinged Crossmen in GE. It was their 2nd lowest GE score of the season.

Scores are taking a long time. I wonder if the show was delayed. It was supposed to finish at the same time as Broken Arrow.

So, which show's scores will be released first?

Most of fandom's eyes will be on Broken Arrow, but there's a show in Abilene tonight. The odds are the 12th seeded Crossmen will win this show. They've sat out a few days, but the Blue Knights and Pacific Crest are right behind them and could surge. The Crossmen go on before the other corps. We'll see. Wildcat Stadium at Abilene Christian Univ. Oliver Jackson Blvd Abilene, TX 796011 Lineup & Times (All times CT and subject to change) 7:00 PM Gates Open 8:20 PM Welcome & National Anthem 8:30 PM Arsenal Drum & Bugle Corps - El Paso, TX 8:42 PM Guardians - Dallas/Fort Worth, TX 8:59 PM Seattle Cascades - Seattle, WA 9:16 PM Genesis - Austin, TX 9:33 PM Music City - Nashville, TN 9:50 PM Crossmen - San Antonio, TX 10:07 PM Pacific Crest - City of Industry, CA 10:24 PM Blue Knights - Denver, CO 10:49 PM Scores Announced

Looks like the Crossmen have made the top 12 for the Southwestern Championships, having the 12th highest score last night. They were 13th last year. I saw their Preview show, but haven't seen them a second time due to Flo not streaming any of their shows. I've followed the progress of their recaps. It looks like GE and Percussion are strengths this year. Their brass scores, however, are lagging compared to other corps near their level and haven't moved since the start of the season. Last night's judge dinged them in the Content part of the score. Because I haven't really been exposed to the book, I can't speculate on why this is. But, hopefully their staff can address it. All that being said, I am very happy for the Crossmen's improvement this year and that they have a crowd-pleasing show. Go Bones.

No discussion of this show on Discord either. Scores are scheduled for 10:53 ET.

Nice starting score for the Crossmen. They are in the mix for Finals.

Are you on Discord? It's not an open site you can just go to like this one. I think You need to follow an invitation. I found the invitation at Reddit. There's a sentence where it says "Join our Discord server" and I clicked on the link. I already had a Discord account because I joined if for a channel devoted to San Diego Comic Con.

Discord appears to becoming popular. People are posting photos from the show over there.

Wow, while investigating other avenues to follow this show, I found out through Reddit that there is a Discord server covering this show.

Sheesh. Spirit and Crossmen have had to deal with a show without judges (Myrtle Beach), a canceled show (Crown's), and now this. Are these corps going to catch a break and get to perform and compete without incident so that the members can get a clean read on how they are doing?

Thank you wigwam for being our eyes and ears to this show. Not much being recorded elsewhere.

I just found out the Crownbeat show that the Crossmen were in has been turned into a Standstill. Between last night's show being an exhibition and tonight, the Crossmen will not be scored until two days from now on 7/8. I was really looking forward to seeing them on Flomarching. I just subscribed to do so and now it's just a standstill. I looked at the Flomarching schedule and they aren't on a streamed show again until July 18th in Denton, TX. I saw the preview, but this is a long delay for me to see them in a judged performance. Very bummed right now.

####. This is the second show--counting last night's judgeless exhibition--that the Crossmen won't get judged. Their tour was short enough to begin with. Their next show is 7/8 in Sevierville and that one is not on Flomarching. In fact, the Crossmen won't have another show that is on Flomarching until July 18th. I just subscribed to see the show tonight.

It was the Crossmen's first show also.
