LOVE that picture.  

That was "the moment" so far.

I actually agree with all of those. I know the Heat Wave/Les Stentors/Raiders tier was microscopically close at OC Prelims, but I agree that Les Stentors was about a point ahead of Raiders today, and that both were a good bit above Heat Wave. I feel like 68 is a great number for Golden Empire, and right about where they should be against the WC corps. Same with Colts Cadets at a 64 and Shadow at a 66.

No qualms here!

BTW, as of now, each one of those corps put a higher number than their Quarterfinals score last year. And I agree with that too --- they're all better this season.

RCR pit really goes nuts to start the show. Very 40s of them as well.

Great visual with the brass surrounding the percussion while holding newspapers.

Big statement after a great mellophone feature!

The thread of the show follows the development of news itself, starting with the 40s (newspapers and radio) to the 60s (television) and into the present (cable news and social media).
