I REALLY like Origins.  Love M83 in general so music was gonna do it for me from the get go.  I like how they use the floor, it's an exciting seeing an IW guard REALLY confine so many people into the different quadrants/sections of the tarp.  The part in the back half with the super compressed flag feature in the back of side 2 to the end is enthralling for me.  

agreed. i liked em when i first saw em back in Houston and i like em even more now that ive seen a proper upstairs performance. lots for the DA judge to chew on.

lol i mean Avon winning at Dayton in SW has been a forgone conclusion since the Avon regional. the judges are now just circling the wagons, as they often do. i don't mind an Avon win bc they have the cleanest show and it's elegantly written but the gap will likely bug me.

also maybe Carmel had a really lousy run tonight. LOL. cool to see Fishers so close to them.

WHY is the wgi site still down?!!

I'm not surprised lol, just a heck of a number for being a few weeks out still.  Love love love that Avon show.

results are all kinda janky over on wgi right now w/ some of the units missing.

color me surprised to see the judges got it right w/ sac and fusion. 91.7 to 91.6. fusion gave the better performance and should have been first from at least a few judges but thought it wouldn't happen.

They're still missing. And it seems like the schedules were wiped out, too. I don't see them on the event pages. 🤔

Okay, wow that Red Oak show is actually really good! I was worried a farm show wouldn’t do well with the judges simply bc it’s a less mature theme, but Ive learned now that doesn’t matter at all, and they showed why. Tons of GE, really great prop usage and they are also really good. Some very exposed rifle work, and tons of solo moments they nailed, great job Red Oak! 

Yeah this Emerson guard is going places, SO good! Much cleaner run than yesterday, soloist we’re on point, and I really love how much equipment diversity there is in this show. They definitely weren’t happy with their performance from yesterday, and you could see the difference. Just a greatly designed show they execute so well, amazing job Emerson! 
 

Great stuff from McNeil! Their front to back coordination needs some cleaning, but they were great otherwise. They do a great job of expressing the theme throughout, very nice flag work and just a really solid show all around, great work McNeil!

What a show from Pebble Hills! Such an emotional production they convey so well, their male soloist was WOW, and the guard was just fantastic. Really enjoy the color palette, really big expressive flag work, and a cleaner run for sure, amazing job PH! 
 

Yeah Azle well definitely be moving up some lol, I counted 0 drops, light night and day between today and yesterday, WOW! Love this show a ton, super talented group of girls that just love what they are doing. If they have that type of run in Dayton they will do great, amazing job Azle! 
 

Amazing performance from our first of two OK bands here in finals from Yukon! Really powerful message they portray so well, tons of GE and really smart prop use. Rifle work was clean, very colorful flag work, love the ending so much, great job Yukon!

A much clearer run from Hebron, thought still a couple of exposed drops, I’m guessing it’s just nervous. They were however still absolutely incredible! Really love the ending flag work, the flame-orange looks so well against the colorless tarp. Soloist we’re much better today, and they were overall much better, amazing job Hebron 

Union, Holy Smokes!! They were not playing around today and you could absolutely tell. Another flawless run drop wise, flag work is so challenging yet they make it look easy, gosh it’s gonna be so tight between these too groups. Saber soloist is also insanely good, the all are, wonderful job Union!

WOAH Grand Oaks!!! Another 0 drop run, super demanding and challenging show, yes and yes. They must have had a bad run yesterday bc that is gonna score much higher, mind was just blown off, amazing designed show, just wow, amazing job Grand Oaks!

Yeah the SA winner could be anyone at this point, bc Coppell was as flawless as the past few guards were. Simply magical, such a powerful message they portray so professionally, soloist killed it, really love the flag work, I mean wow Coppell A, y’all killed it!!

Awesome performance from Jordon to kick off SO! I have absolutely no idea what the show’s about but idc, I love it! Flag work is so beautiful and I really love the gold spread throughout against the black and white in the tarp, rifle work pretty clean, great job Jordon! 

I’ve gotta say everyone is really stepping up the quality of their performances, and Cy-Fair is no exception! Love the tarp so much, helps add some nice story telling, that dance-work in the beginning is WOW, loved the rifle work in this show a ton, just great all around run, amazing job Cy-Fair! 

This Little Elm show is so mesmerizing! Such a powerful story that present so well, flag work was just incredible, so beautiful and powerful, love the middle section with the flag and rifle work mixed between going across the floor, just amazing work from Little Elm!

Solid performance from Clear Brook! Tad  amounts of dirt throughout, but otherwise a great run! I do at times feel like something is lacking having a second viewing, but other parts are just wow. Love the backdrops, flag work is so well together, and they’ve got a lot of potential to do great come end of the season, just needs a little bit more polishing, amazing job CB!

By far the best run Timber Creek has had!! Almost no drops, flag work was tight, I mean I don’t really understand why they aren’t scoring higher. If anything is lacking it’s GE, but they’ve still got enough imo to do well, and the show from an equipment standpoint is very demanding and they are executing, so idk but either way a wonderful performance TC! 

Great run from McKinney! Some exposed rifle drops in the first half, but the rest was much better. Love they offer so many solo moments for the guard to show off and boy do they. Lovely flag work at the end, great storytelling throughout, awesome job McKinney!

WOW Friendswood!! The amount of individual demand in this show is insane, so many exposed solo/duet moments that require each member to shine in the spotlight, and they do exactly that! It’s just like watching a clinic of rifle and flag work performed by some of the best, outstanding performance F-Wood! 

Killer show from James Bowie!! The opening flag work is just incredible, the theme is present throughout, love the big white curtain props they put the performers in. Soloist we’re on fire, just a fantastic run from JB! 

I can’t tell who’s taking the top spot between Marcus and Coppell. Both were SOOOOOO GOOD!! All will come down the judges, love the both equally so I can’t make a decision, Coppells show is more fast pace and adventurous while Marcus is beautiful and emotional, both offering some amazing equipment work, it’s gonna be tight in the top few in both groups, thought definitely more so in SA, Marcus and Coppell should still have a good gap between everyone else, but it’s been an amazing day so far, will be back for the worlds class guards.

fun fact, fusion actually scored higher than blessed sac in prelims at the East power regional, pre-penalty. and every single judge had them first in the performance half of their sheets. so they DID get it right!!

it's gonna be interesting to see how Para, Sac, and Fuse play out at Dayton for the top 3. not totally in love w/ any of them. methinks lots of caption splitting.

All of the world class guards were spectacular! Flomo has improved a lot, still some cleaning needed but they look great, really lovely show. And the independent guards just blew my mind like always. Anyways, as we wait for results, congrats again to all the guards that competed this weekend, lots of groups are looking very strong, Tx should do very well in Dayton this season!

Score wise, I'd say everything seems about right. Wylie with a big jump, super happy for them, and of course super close between Coppel A/Grand Oaks and Coppell/Marcus. Didn't really see Timber Creek dropping, if anything had them going up a little but they still improved score wise. Union/Hebron/Azle/Yukon being super close was also what I expected, but yeah overall great day of guard, very much looking forward to seeing how everyone improves between now and Dayton

happyy happy happy to see Grand Oaks finally get the score they deserve, only took a double panel to get it lol. they always come around to my opinion at the end. well.... usually lol.

still some significant room for improvement. not surprised to see their DA scores wayyy worse than their IA scores. still some clarity and ensemble timing issues. things to hit hard b/w now and Dayton.

last wgi show in TX. purrrdy happy w/ the results/final seeding scores. both Marcus and Grand Oaks should be up there at Dayton. Marcus for sure a strong podium contender, maybe 3rd to Centerville and Noblesville. little less sure about Oaks, A class being such a cluster f lol. for world class not as worried about tw's austin seeding score as some others are. seen all the worlds now and their show speaks for itself. should easily medal, id have it a comfortable 2nd. if difficulty and risk were a POC id have it 1st. FloMo not out of the game, was hoping for just over 80, but 78 perfectly reasonable score for this time of yr for possible SW finalist, may need to overtake Chino Hills or a couple Florida ones.

Thank you, again, @Tubalord11, for your commentary!

I've been violently ill all day. I wonder if it's COVID. I couldn't watch the Flo streams without feeling a bit of motion sickness. 😭🤢 I got about three into the A Class. I'm happy to see everyone did well.

I'm confused as to what's going on with Marcus this year, does anyone know for sure if they're going to worlds or not? on their Instagram they have the ntca champs listed as their last competition but on the wgi site they're still listed as attending worlds. I hope they are going but I'm not sure because of what they themselves have posted. either way, they would def be up there in SO.

Ah, it might be another Cypress Woods situation, where they'll still listed on the current entries, but aren't actually attending. That would be a bummer!
