I thought the Dinosaur Bar-b-que place was pretty much awesome. I actually went there both Thursday and Friday nights and there was a really good band there each night, amazing food, tons of beer selections, and a pretty hip atmosphere. On Friday, there were windows open viewing out to the river and it was pretty much amazing.

Highest score ever that I can find!

Blue Stars' highest Division 1/World Class score ever.

So Pacific Crest will beat BD...that would be good for a change!

That's very true!

Blue Stars 2-pointing Boston! WOO!!!!

If there's going to be a breakthrough night for the Blue Stars, it will be tonight!

I'm hoping 2 days of rehearsal for the Blue Stars will pay off tonight!

2 energy shots? Like...two 5 Hour Energys? Holy cow!

Is it a horse?

Man Pioneer...

I think they'll probably be able to finish the show. Weather doesn't look to be moving that fast...and it's turning into mostly rain anyway so even if it did rain, it would likely only be rain and not lightning or anything like that.

"The Velvet Knights are a small band but lots of fun to watch! http://twitpic.com/2902l2" LOL

It's pretty good! They make it with barely any ingredients at all... From their website: "Choice American barley and wheat malts are combined with a blend of noble hops to create this light, fruity, refreshing beer. Brewed in the style of the American beer renaissance, Blue Star is unfiltered, the yeast adding a complex note to the flavor profile."

I do not think the Scouts are going to catch up with the Blue Stars in any way...unless something crazy happens.

I love all the changes since I last saw them in Carmel 9 days ago! Definitely the most melodic and pretty ballad this year out of any drum corps... I'm not biased or anything, I swear. I'm proud to have been a Blue Star!

Aww, 2 quads!

That end drill with guard work was quite good, considering there's likely going to be another ending put in.

Let's see what Academy's all about!

Going to go ahead and agree with you there!

The skyscrapers of the midwest!

BUMP!

And random tidbit... 2003 Cavaliers, where there's the snare roll where they one by one get out of the roll en route to the breakdown groove section, the whole corps says "Sly" right before. Pretty sweet!

Anyone at the show tweeting? I'd like to see photos of the oncoming storm!

I got to watch Spirit play a standstill version of their show in Naperville. I just have to say that they sound absolutely fantastic standing still. Hornline plays very crisply and with great balance and blend and the drumline plays some great stuff very cleanly. Just hope they can eventually achieve that on the move and keep it up through an entire show.
