Ballad is just beautiful. Best of the season. And tonight it is dead on.

Coats are smoking! End of act 1 was dead on.

How could they not show the crown set!!

Brass sounds a little flat overall.

It’s unreal that one of these last four shows are not going to medal unless there is a tie for third…which I am predicting only because I just don’t want it to happen.

I will say this, Boston more than any other corps covers the entire field. Over and over again. In perfect unison.

Rifle work…eye are boggling.

That running wave sequence right across the front is so so hard to get right and it is always dead on right.

Okay here we go…

Cadets really need to bring it, or Mandarins will take fifth. Wow. WOW!

That girl on YouTube that does DCI reaction videos needs to watch Sinnerman...

Yes, easily the best designed show. Every act is cannot miss. The payoff is worth the ride…literally. I don’t know how they are doing it but Mandarins may be the next first-time-gold winner corps.

Holy #### Mandarins… Show design is insanely creative. Brass is in your face, screamer on point! The ballad is…what can you say?! It’s straight up Bluecoats in the best way. Really no weaknesses. What a run they are on!

Can you just read your commentary for us and post as an audio file?

That seems like a really bad decision.

Why is there no commentary between shows?

As many times as I have watched that video, I swear I STILL weep every single time I watch it.

Boston’s guard costumes are hands down the best, most creative and most theme-right of the season. Just beautiful.

Elsa has entered the chat…

Cavaliers snares are just taunting us. Sheesh.

So so sweet to see those kids crying at the end. Wow. Wonderful. That’s what it’s all about.

I thought it was Classical Gas.

The Colts baritone solo…wow.
