San Antonio was a LONG time ago...

Does anyone know if we are getting Rondo tonight?

Quick poll: is everyone doing multi or high cam tonight?

For all that has been said about the K-Pop section...this seems to be the portion of the show the crowd eats up. I saw BD live at NightBEAT (hardly a pro-BD crowd) and there was a partial standing O after that production. So much velocity and energy with the performers. I really haven't loved BD since 1998 but after I saw them live this year I was fine with any of the top 5 winning.

And a tie for sixth so we can see the top 7 on PBS...wait...

Looking at yesterday's recap, I think Troop has a real shot to get to 12 (not saying it is likely). I don't think X-Men will keep such a big gap in guard and two of the GE judges had them ahead. Troop was ahead on the sheets of over half of the judges...

This show is very good live and certainly "fun." My biggest problem is that the show/design had no shot of winning from the start and the staff had to know it.

I saw him in Louisville (of all places) in June.

Seems to happen every show.

iPhone app with AirPlay working great.

I haven't seen this discussed (although it certainly may have been) but there is a couple that runs down the field at the end of the show a'la 2013 with the guard reaching for them. Wonder if Crown is considering another story along those lines (escape from hell?).

Just the back panel ripped off partially. Not that big of a deal. Perc seemed trained in how to handle...recovered from piece "staying with the corps" after the opening perfectly. Quick thoughts: troop had a tough run. Bloo ain't losing tonight...

Guards are STRUGGLING in the wind

Strong brass sound as always from Spirit. Like this show way more than last year already - although there are obviously a ton of early season issues to work out.

Sitting right behind Dan Acheson, who has just made his appearance.

Is that a rifle?

Love the logo at the end of the opener. Fits well.

Also guessing there will be something(s) on rt 5 yl where those flags are laying out.

I'm told they are hoping to have this fixed before the show ends.

This was Nola, I believe.
