Hmmmm. Interesting idea! On your computer or on your tv? Because I like having one band take up the entire screen. :)

 

On my computer, so two full screens, and I can jump around to the forums in between.

Sioux Falls Lincoln!!!  WOW!  That was a BLAST here in the dome, and the crowd just ate it up!  I would be shocked to not see that again tonight.  Fantastic and fun show.

Lincoln may not be the best band in the finals, but I really like their show. I like their energy, attitude, and the way they just let it rip and give it everything.

Can confirm in stadium. It was a freakin party.

Oh. My. Word.

 

I have no words for how good Broken Arrow was.

 

Utterly speechless.

 

While I don't like the repeat, that doesn't take away from their technical brilliance. They perform at a high level that few high school bands can compete with, and no one at this contest (Blue Springs is probably the closest to them). I look forward to seeing them at Indy. Wild Blue Orchid in 2015 was the clear winner that year in my view.

I still don't have words for my reaction to seeing them for the first time ever at a BOA event. YouTube can't do them justice. Heck I'm sure Flo Marching didn't either. I can't imagine seeing them live.

 

Here is the best way I can think to describe how I felt at the end of their show. I watch Vandy and Ronald Reagan and I say to myself, "wow, they're really good. But so is CTJ and Leander." I watched Carmel and Avon tonight and was impressed; my thought was that they are fantastic, but so is Flowermound and Hebron. Then I saw Broken Arrow and I had no thoughts at all. It was nothing but awe and emotion. I felt like I had witnessed brilliance on a scale I had never before witnessed in a high school band. Perhaps it was simply because they are the only one of the top bands that I've never seen in competition before tonight. Perhaps it was just an emotionally raw response to something in their performance. I'm sure many would say that I am overstating how incredible they are. I don't care. That was the best darn band I've ever seen in my entire life.

I understand. I've had the opportunity to see them live a few times, so that helps with my expectations. I hope my posts are getting across that I think they are awesome!

 

I am surprised by the small margin tonight. That was unexpected.
