principalagent Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 I've seen Broken Arrow, Carmel and Avon so far and I personally believe Tarpon Springs is ahead of all of them - scores be damned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josephbandfan Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Wow... well I guess they will start off GN with a bang! LeanderMomma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostChoirGuy Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Is that because they signed up late or is it completely random? I know when groups sign up late for regionals they are tacked on the beginning but that is often when the schedule has already been decjded and I dont know if this was already decided months ago or not. Either way, having Semifinals helps offset scheduling misfortunes. I wish San Antonio had Semifinals, but I completely understand why that isnt possible.

Omega Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Exciting to see BA and Tarpon at GN in the same year! That hasn't happened in a while so it will be good to see. Also Avon debuts Saturday so we may finally get a good picture as to how they look and sound without Webb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeanderMomma Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 I'm trying to figure out how to finesse a last minute trip! I still can't get over Tarpon Springs having 3 possible endings to their show, and the audience gets to choose which? I mean HOW DO YOU DO THAT?! I hope you do finesse that last minute trip, because it would sure be worth it to see that sucker LIVE!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean HOW DO YOU DO THAT?! I hope you do finesse that last minute trip, because it would sure be worth it to see that sucker LIVE!!!! Cool, right? And this isn't the first show to have multiple endings! In 2003, Center Grove did a Capture The Flag show that changed which team, Red or Blue, won at each performance. This was celebrated with the team's streamers pouring out from a huge scaffold in the middle of the field at the end of the show. Spoiler Alert: The Blue Team won in Finals.

It would be awesome if they did a vote for all three performances at Grand Nationals! Come to think of it, they might need a fourth vote whitewing09 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTJBandPops Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 The audience gets to what??? How does that work? I'm so intrigued, I wanna see how this works. but is the audience really picking the ending - or do they have 3 endings and they define the ending before they perform and let the audience this that they picked the ending? everyone has 1 vote and sees what they think is the majority vote based on the app. while the band knew what ending they would do before they went on the field - still difficult to clean 3 different endings, but I would question that the closer is truly being driven by the audience and they are adjusting at a split second. just my thoughts and I do not know for a fact - meursault 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
principalagent Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 The endings aren’t different at all. Not to spoil for those who haven’t seen, but it only involves the characters and not the band as a whole. It would be easy to just tell them at the beginning of the performance who wins and they take care of it on the field.

Omega Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Having seen all four of the "top 4" so to speak I'm really pulling for BA. I don't think they will take visual simply because the uniforms hide the legs but I expect a solid placement in GE and Music from them leading to a decent win (.5+) in finals. Don't quote me if I'm wrong in two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadisonBandMan1 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 I personally think it’s tarpon’s to lose this year. That show just has the full package for me. I could watch that show over and over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryBand Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 With Prosper getting 4th at Area B, do you all think they will make Finals at Grand Nats? Not sure about this one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
