Not really, but whatever 

Yeah, I agree. It's great to honor your corps tradition, but I think it probably even impacts them from a scoring standpoint.

Last night, the sound was pretty good ... and quite loud.

Colts have their speakers directly in front of the recording mics. Everything coming from the pit and soloists is way louder than the field.

Field is not very loud at all.

Isn't there some kind of code that the U.S. flag should never touch the ground?  ...and if it does, it needs to be burned?  (btw, not trying to resurrect the b word topic)

Generally yes, but this is one exception. They addressed it via announcement before the flag landed.

Important show for all the corps as it's getting down to crunch time. 2 weeks now until finals. 

I'm especially rooting for Mandarins to get back in top 12 position. I'm biased, but think they belong in finals this year.
