Congratulations to everyone who made finals this season! I've come up with a little game to pass the time between now and tomorrow. Come up with predictions for divisions one, two, and three (rankings and scores). The one who's prediction comes closest, wins. Your prize will be...absolutely nothing. I figured that playing a game is a prize unto itself. Tomorrow, I'll post a complete review of the show.

(PM your predictions please, instead of posting them here).

Edit: Just predict your division if you want, you don't have to do all three.

Today's Finals competition was held at Target. Several isles were cleared out to make room for the stage and the seating area. A lot of shoppers stopped by to watch the drumlines warm up for the big show. Some others who stopped by to watch today's event were Joe Lesko, pedazos, Alex Yoder, George Hopkins, The Cavaliers, The Energizer Bunny, Mr. Clean, George Hopkins, my next door neighbor, the past few American Idol winners, former President John Adams, the composer John Adams, George Hopkins, and an armchair. There were a lot of very strong performances today, and each line got a standing ovation. In fact, the division one champion "Thunder" got a standing ovation after every phrase. When they were done, everyone was throwing their babies at the performers, Those who didn't have babies threw those standing next to them at the performers. Right after the scores were announced, Target employees began moving the isles back into their places and we all went around and shopped the rest of the time.

I'm so proud of SouthBeat's progress this season; it looks like I don't have to whip them anymore.

See you all next season!

Not many of you made predictions, so I'll announce the winner shortly.

Only one person predicted division two, so I won't bother with that one.

Division one predictions:

Drummantx
Total Difference: 3.395

TrumpetVinny
Total Difference: 3.545

Drummantx was the closest, and BlueDevils wins D2 by default. Not wanting to leave anyone out, here's a prize for all of you for playing:
