Reagan, by BOA's standards, was the best this year, and for good reason: their show was one of the hardest I've ever seen, musically and visually. Richland also did very well for this year at GN, making finals the first time through. Huge props to Bell for (from what I could tell) basically re-learning their show for Nats. After Arlington, many people counted them out and never looked back. One of the greatest combacks I've ever seen. Ever. Marcus, as said before, also had a great breakout year. Definately a band to watch in the future. Woodlands had an alright year, but they were critisized very much for some things in their show (the boxing part stands out to me). Nothing exceptional, however.
