Dude. Don’t start rumors. That is 100% NOT TRUE. They have 1 adult (their accompanist). Every other band member is a student. Lot of dad crew has grey beards but they only carry heavy stuff.

This is not true at all! The only adult is the accompanist, all the rest are students. And they certainly deserved that award!!

I want to apologize I was wrong I posted the wrong group that had the older adults playing and I will delete my previous post

Very shocking to me . I’ve seen MZ live 3 times this year and always thought they were near the top. Judge’s thought different. Missed finals here and Chesterton and sixth at EPG. Maybe a different show to the judges way in back.

I watched from near the judges area. I'd have put them equal with Lafayette Jefferson, but maybe losing the tiebreaker to LFJ due to needing so long to set up their extensive set pieces and riser levels? Could it have been a time penalty?

I don't think that it's a lack of Mt Zion's abilities but moreso a testament to the other groups' abilities. I'm sure the preliminary scores were very close.

Any idea who has BC?

wow, how far behind is the livestream!! ? Esprit just came on for me xD

your predictions or the current prelims placements?

Those are how he personally has it. Similar to predictions in that it’s his opinion and not the result, but not guessing how the judges are going to see these groups.

GC: Mt. Zion (BV, BC)
