It was actually the third time in Grand Nats history that the top 12 all broke 90 in semifinals. The first time it happened was in 2007.

It's definitely a bittersweet moment for Bowie. Not a lot of people believed in them after San Antonio, but they did everything they could in the week going into Indy, and it showed! I feel great as an alumni because on one hand they did way better than they did in 2016 (which was my senior year with them) but on the other hand I'm devastated for them because they were 3 tenths of a point away from being in everyone's conversation again. But you know what, this is an extremely good sign for Bowie's future! I hope the next time they go to nationals (which will hopefully be sooner rather than later) they'll have an even greater show, get those visuals taken care of, and make history! Edit: Bowie was 12th in prelims. Ugh they were so close...next time they go they're definitely going to be in finals. Please come back to Indy soon!

I am in pure disbelief. I did not expect 3 Texas bands to miss finals. Ugh. Heartbroken for James Bowie, CTJ, and Dripping Springs. I am very interested to see just how close it was to the cutoff for finals. To be honest, I did not expect for some of those other bands to advance, but that's why I'm not a judge. Congratulations to Hebron, Pearland, Keller, Round Rock and The Woodlands for moving on to finals. James Bowie, CTJ, Dripping Springs, we love you, and we are so proud of the work you've done this whole season. You reperesented yourselves and the state of Texas well.

My dream list for finals is all 8 Texas bands, Avon, Carmel, Blue Springs, and William Mason. Do I think it'll happen? No. Fishers, Brownsburg, and Bentonville all put up a good fight for finals. I'm secretly hoping there's a 4 way tie for 12th so we get all 15 of those bands in finals, I don't want to say goodbye to any of them! That's how good this Grand Nationals has been!
