I heard the Blue Stars are moving from "La Crosse" to Indianapolis. Oh wait...

Crown not winning best color guard hurts my feelings.

WHAT? No. Carolina Crown's color guard was AMAZING

BK - Thank you for that show!! SO MANY FEELINGS.

This show has improved so much from Stanford! When I saw the show earlier this year, I thought it lacked the "power and grace" I love most about PR, and it finally feels like they found a way to bring that back this season. Great job!

THAT is how you end a drum and bugle corps show. WELL DONE!

I liked Cavies ballad, but dear lord, those cutout women take away so much from the moment. At least they arent blow-up dolls...

What a great ending for such a hard summer - good job Cavaliers!!

To be fair, I said one section (especially one member) looked bad. This is a judged activity. I get the support everyone all the time, but this is finals, where everyone needs to bring their A game. When someone messes up, it isn't an attack to point that out. I hear what people are saying though. My apologies if I offended anyone.

HELLO BOSTON!!! Way to up the intensity. They really brought it tonight. WAY TO GO!!!!

BAC starts off with such a powerful, warm sound! Definitely kicking-it up a few notches from the first two groups.

Um, they definitely don't have the hardest book in finals. Not even close. That isn't a knock on their members. They tried hard and performed the best they could - good job to them, but don't kid yourself.

VERY, VERY hard. It is a cool idea, but I think the execution is slightly off.

What is going with the back flags for Blue Stars? HOT MESS! This is finals - no excuses for blanking on work. That was awful! She was out for at least 14-16 counts.

Sorry Blue Stars, I find you boring. This is my least favorite show of the top 12.

Two random thoughts: 1. DCI Staying in Indianapolis until 2097 (or whenever) One of the main arguements is that it is too hard for east/south/midwest corps to travel out west. That's interesting when the Open Class champion has come from California for the past three years and tonight, of the six final corps to perform, 3 are from west of the Mississippi (Note: the future of America is in the west) 2. Marine Drum & Bugle Corps If the MDBC had color guard, I might have joined the military. If they allowed dudes to spin flags. What is the cut-off age for joining the Marines? Hmmmmm

Who won DM of the year in World Class?

I believe that Carolina Crown will be out for blood after getting the DCI-politics-shaft in the oboe competition. BD has a large oboe-shaped target on their back.

Blue Devils ALWAYS wins oboe. Its DCI politics and it makes me sick.

DEAR LORD THAT WAS INCREDIBLE! The color guard closing work in the backfield is the kind of thing color guard dreams are made of - COMPLETE PERFECTION. OMG. They brought it tonight!!!!!!!

Forgive me father, but I want to sin really bad to enter this bad place for the next 12 minutes.

Is it just me or have The Cadets really cleaned their show? Visually,it looks so much better than a few days ago. The guard is also improved (but I think will ultimately hold them back from gold or silver). Great job!!

That show could be called #Innovation or #TheyJustOutInnovatedBD

They had some rough visuals! Intervals were off and missed dots/forms. They sound great, but I was expecting them to come out with more intensity and "we'll show them for putting us 4th" I don't see them moving up much... if so, maybe a slot.
