    Rain out hurts the Mandarins the most.   They need to keep increasing their score.  Only one head to head match up  left with Madison in Rome NY.  Madison is on Saturday night in Allentown and scores tend to be higher than on Friday night.   Hopefully Mandarins will be seeded right before or right after Madison in Prelims.

    Not ideal, but I don't think it's a disaster to the Mandarins. The biggest thing they miss from this is the feedback from the judges. They still got to perform which allows them to continue to hone their show. The scores themselves from tonight would have been relatively meaningless.

    I assume that Mandarins and Scouts will be seeded close together. Scouts currently have a slight advantage on the seeding front - I think I calculated something like a .115 difference. Allentown will decide things as far as seeding goes, but I suspect it will continue to be a close battle throughout prelims and semis. Both corps are scheduled to compete in Allentown and Rome, so they actually have two head-to-head matchups unless there has been a recent change of plans for Scouts. 

  2. My wife and I are excited to be attending finals for the first time this year. We have two marching Mandarins, who we're hoping do end up marching on Saturday. We made the decision to go to finals really late and we've bought tickets to prelims and semifinals. We have not yet bought finals tickets and had a few questions before we try to buy some:

    • If our kids do not make finals, do they need a ticket? I'm assuming not, but want to make sure so we know if we need 2 or potentially 4 tickets depending on results.
    • At this point, how likely would we be to pick up finals tickets in Indy (maybe after finalists are determined?). Trying to determine if we should look for some on eBay, StubHub, etc. before we go, or if it may be best just to wait at this point. 
    • Any suggestions on where to find decent seats at this point?
