2017 Grand Nationals

Just personal preference no doubt. I like it so much better than some they've done, but know I'm in the minority. I never understood the little house on the prairie show a few years back tho it was highly praised by many and quite successful! Again, just personal preference. -

It's crazy to me how good Round Rock is and yet that show wasn't enough to make finals in SA. Insanity... -

Everyone is having problems with Flo today. Unbelievable. And ads in the MIDDLE of shows. Ridiculous. -

Clever. Yeah, Castle got to me. After watching Sophie and the Castle Band 3 times last year live at Grand Nats, it definitely got to me. Especially knowing that featured guy was her boyfriend! Man..... -

No, the $30 is as cheap as it gets. What you might want to do next year is order it for a 30 day period which includes Grand Nats, and the 3 weekends prior to that. That is what I did so that I could take the most advantage of the one month cost. I've been able to watch it the last 3 weekends and will finish up with GN this weekend before I cancel my subscription on Sunday. THAT makes it worth it. -

Ohhhh thank you so much for doing this! I was going to make something similar tomorrow and I'd already completely forgotten about the different time zones! Would have missed Broken Arrow for sure. -
I'm going to need a support group after this season!

I'm putting my money on O'Fallon to make finals this year. One of the sweetest guys I've ever known and was fortunate enough to be in high school band with back in the day in Memphis is one of the Color Guard directors there and I'm sure rooting for them! While I'm not the hugest fan of the entire field being covered in a white tarp, that doesn't mean that their show isn't phenomenal because it is! And their guard....just wow. I also wonder about and feel a little broken hearted for William Mason and all of the issues they've struggled with this year with the entire change in band staff for them. I know that they are struggling mentally and show-wise, and I'm really pulling for those kids. They are so capable of amazing things if only given the chance! Hopefully the new directors will tap into that potential in coming years and give them a product that they can run with!!
