We were waiting for update to start the show! Forward! 🙂

Great lineup tonight too

30 minute delay. Looks like rain will pass by then.

Rain shortened ensemble, but a real nice surprise headed your way during ballad.

I am here on-site. Raining pretty steady now, but looks better as night goes on. I would think an hour delay might be good call.

At ensemble this afternoon…will report on anything interesting

Thanks for all the insightful comments! I guess my point is that if they tied ONLY Finals night, I can get behind that - would not be the first time that has happened…..two nights in a row, though???? Could it happen? Yes. Did it happen? Yes. I am a Bluecoat Color Guard Dad (‘22,‘23) so the outcome, however improbable, was a positive one.

That was very disappointing last year. Afraid to make a call…wonder what the odds are if tying with all those decimal points?

Oh how I love ties. Especially two night in a row.

Yeah, true…I was talking more about the Allentown boards, other pages, futurist picking, etc. pretty quiet except here.

I will give it to BAC and Crown fans…they are a passionate group! Weather looks ominous in both Canton and Pittsburgh…maybe no one gets another shot before Indy. Figures, since I am headed to canton rn. Remember Akron show last year? Deluge right before show.

Love that NOBODY on forums is talking about Bloo right now. Just like last year. 🙂

So, the rankings on DCI.org mean nothing to performance order next week?

And Bloo may win brass…bat#### crazy year.

2019 was pretty insane, albeit really a 2 horse race

Also, much safer to come in at comfortable dynamic to avoid the “fracks, cracks, and gacks” disease 🙂

Anyone out there with drum chops with insight on what is going on? Is Allentown a correction point, or…. ?

Yes. Closest before this was Boston at .9

Actually Crossmen did it in 2019 in “Valkyrie”….just sayin.

The Best and Worst of all Emotions 🙂

That was REALLY beautiful tonight…tosses looked super relaxed and confident. High Brass finally carried this octaves in “Bump” without chipping…almost won GE…gonna be a fun week.

May not change the outcome, but sure is fun and interesting!

Objects in the mirror…..

I agree with you…it’s not EVERY night, but is seems to happen more than getting credited. I wonder sometimes how much of those polyrhythmic moments are actually understood. Remember that they were 4th by a pretty sizable margin last year and rallied. 👍

Maybe…percussion was scored down, as was most music…dunno
