Can't wait to see the Texas bands this weekend! Was at the Indiana State finals on Saturday, and it will be a great GN final, of course I am biased towards Avon and feel they have one of their best shows in years, guard is unbelievable. Good luck to all bands and have to admit I am in awe of the number of great Texas bands each year. Hope you are welcomed well in Indy and enjoy our Hoosier hospitality, even if it's only 40 degrees.

It should begin improving tomorrow but man it’s cold.

Really look forward to seeing all of the Texas bands at Grand Nats next week.  So much respect for those bands who always bring incredible performances.  The Marcus performance from a few years ago is still one of my favorites and turned this Indiana band fan into a Marcus fan!  Thanks for the synopsis of each of the bands attending, gives me a little history and what to look for when I am watching.  Wouldn't be at all surprised to a Texas band take home the championship, but having seen Avon several times this year they will be difficult to beat.  I'm sure Broken Arrow will also be right there at the top.  Although Carmel hasn't been close to Avon (in scores) this season their sound is great and I think they will be in the mix.  Best of luck to all of the Texas bands, look forward to a great Grand Nats.
