Confused too looking at the scores. I believe they did tear a bit in Woods, but overall a much stronger performance than prelims. I expected them to jump a place (and not just out of bias!). Their visual is so cute and bought into, the visual GE score seemed low to me.

Love that flute solo and the intro music! The Be Our Guest part is so much fun!!

My thoughts was it was some sort of intersection of people at different points of life based on the costumes of that one group that circles in the center, but I could be wrong!

I'm not the biggest fan of the Box5 audio between bands. It seemed like a few times earlier they forgot to mute the announcer's stream and caught a couple awkward moments.

I know this isn't helpful, but I'm currently not having that issue on the multi cam stream. I bought mine this morning, so maybe that's factoring into it. Are the issues only appearing to be with high cam?

Go Weiss!!!! So proud of them??

Personally I like Vandy's overall ensemble sound much better, although I found ctj a bit more exciting. Both were incredible performances though!!

Sounds about right haha. Those electronics never want to cooperate??

Wow! I gotta say, being on the other side of the field for the first time this year is a whole different kind of fun. Absolutely blown away by both Cedar Ridge and Lake Travis! Going to be SUCH a fun competition

Has anyone seen anything from Reagan yet, other than the show announcement? I'm always a big fan Excited to see competition season from the stands(or dorm?) this year!?

As a Star Wars fan, I would love to see John Williams' Across the Stars as a ballad

Thank you!!

I think it's too much in our identity to see a change anytime soon, although I don't know what goes on behind the scenes. Personally, I know us performers absolutely love our current style, even if the numbers can get a little low. Our director always drills into us that it's not about the judges or the scores, it's about the audience, and that's why our shows tend to cater more towards the excitement that comes with modern electronics rather than more orchestral pieces, and spicing them up if we do use them (ex: actual fabric explosions during 1812). At the end of the day it doesn't matter where we place so long as we can get the audience on their feet at the end. It would definitely be interesting to see what we could do with more classical pieces musically, though I think (and of course I don't speak for everyone) us kids would love to stick with our current direction.

Co2 cannons, and LOTS of them!
