The quality is HORRIBLE. Good audio but the video is very choppy and static!

This Flu sickness is a serious thing!! People are way wrong to feel anything but sorry for the kids/groups that have been infected. Come on, people, be human and have a HEART!!! GEEEEZZZZZZ.................this has nothing to do with who likes which corps. Get well Glassmen! And I hope Crown and Mandarins are getting stronger by the day. Summer colds/flus are compounded with the heat and makes recovery that much harder. I hope no one else gets this virus, especially as we approach the last half of the season.

Best thing said so far......................................

Has anyone seen INT's new ending? I hear it is OUT OF SIGHT!!!!

Hmmmmmmm..........I dont know about that.......the last 2 weeks they have been plagued with sickness and a lot of RAIN that has hindered them from really rehearsing outside to the fullest. I heard that they just started on the changes this past weekend and were having a hard time due to the rain. I know it has to be hard as he## performing at night a different show than what you are rehearsing during the day. They need to CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN everything and get some fire back under them, esp the colorguard. I'm afraid that the judges have made up their minds. The other groups ahead of them have been cleaner for a week. BD getting better EVERY day, Cadets forging forward and now SCV ( jumping over 2pts since SA). I hope they can get it going ( come on VISUAL staff) and get back into the race! Good Luck tomorrow at Murfreesboro.

My sentiments exactly. I still cant figure out what the show is about. what is it that the guard is wearing at the beginning of the show? I dont get the correlation with the music. New character wont help!

I think Cadets will close the gap a little. Looks like they are on a roll!! Good luck!

TROOPERS!! Nice to see them in the race again!

Looks like SCV is going to catch and pass Crown now. What caused the stalemate in Crown? Was it the illness? did they peak too early? Early season hype was that they were a force to reckon with for the win. Now it looeks like they may end 4/5. What happened?

Crown's Colorguard is DEFINITELY not up to par this year. The staff changes is hurting them ( which I fail to understand) and they are really causing a dent in the visual scores. The Flas are just plain dirty and not together!!! Not even close to previous crown guards!

I havent missed a finals in 20 years. This will be my 21st!!

Yeah things have kinda calmed down a little.............

The rain continues to follow the east groups!!!! Wow.

and I shot the Sheriff! ( but I didnt shoot the deputy...)

Wow, way to go Crown!! Those kids must have worked their butts off tonight. Hope you guys are 100% by the weekend. Good job to all of the corps!

Crown hasnt had a show since the 9th. What do you think the judges are going to do? With 12 holes, will they fall too much behind Cadets or will the judges look past that? I know there is composition and performance to take into account. How will they be affected? I wish them the best as they perform tonight. good luck to ALL of the groups competing.

Someone told me last week that the west coast corps scores were going to start to level out/slow down. When? BD has constantly inclined at every show by at least a point it seems. At this rate they will be well over 100 by finals week. It just appears that the east coast groups are being controlled score wise and the others are wide open. We shall see this week. I would think that by all right BD's score should drop or stall in order to allow the east coast to catch up. Hopefuilly on Saturday all will get closer. If not, go ahead and give BD the ring. Looks like they are MILES ahead of the rest of the competing corps according to the judges. I cant wait til Saturday! Good luck to all of the corps.

Wow!!! That a lot. Get some rest, Crown. I would'nt wish that on anybody

Wow. I know this is a first for them. There has been a lot of illness this year, first with injuries now with viruses. Good luck crown. Hope you feel better!

that's kinda what I thought............

As I said in a previous post, The Crown Guard is NOT of the caliber that they have been in the past. I watched them in rehearsal in Suffolk, Va and was astonished at the lack of finese that they ususally possess. I agree that the weapons are fine. The Flags......well, another story. It seems that they are not being held responsible for 110% accuracy. It is obvious even to the non guard person that they dont initiate the work together or even count accurately. Not what we have seen from them in years past. Could be the change in staff.............Jenn Fo was a great Caption Supervisor. She knew how to get those kids on fire.

I agree and hope for a faster more exciting ending to happen soon. It appears that BD, Cavies and SCV are plugging ahead while those on the east are barely inching upwards. It is interesting to see that certain corps seemed unaffected by the additional jugding panel that was incorporated last week. I'll be glad to see what happens when all of them get together next weekend. It seems the reins have been put on the 2 east coast groups and loosened up on the Cavies and BD. I know everyone is working very hard. Some are getting the boost and others arent.

Congratulations tonight, Crown. Good job all corps. Get well kids!

hahahahahahahhahahahahah

Yeah I know. There has been a lot of injuries thus far in many of the groups. I know Crown has had a lot and still do from what I keep hearing. I hope they all get better. The kids really want to perform.
