you guys sound great on tv tonight. kudos!

First half was excellent until the end, which was ruined by Marquez's jackassery. Lucky for you guys, you probably won't have to deal with that for 3-5 games or so.

Fingers crossed the 2nd half lives up.

101+VA were awesome. GSS had a very shaky first half, their own capo was getting pissed. Everyone made a great effort to be on the same page, but honestly its just a matter of distance/SCIENCE that mostly GSS gets off beat. the slow call and responses work but once the beat gets going, it takes about 20 seconds to fall off beat of 101 because of the way the sound travels and then they just sort of get frustrated and fall out of it. but definitely a huge step forward. UNITY.

Practice makes perfect.

Honestly the first half was incredible on TV. Best I've heard it in forever.

Based on what I and several others saw, the 133 perch at times didnt seem to make much of an effort on some of the songs started up from the 101perch. it certainly wasnt every song.

There were times when we were together, and times when we weren't. Sometimes 133 went off & did its own thing, sometimes 101 did its own thing. It happens; not the end of the world. Overall, it was a much better effort. Thanks to all those who worked to make it better, much appreciated.

I was in 133...we'd try to catch up and then all of a sudden be off by half a beat..catch up...then off...he looked pissed to me but I can understand..at points I was even shacking my head. Dunno what it was but it got better. Cheers to all on the capos perch though seriously..I appreciate it as does my friends and family that come to the games with me. its hard when all the groups are so spread out...

The first 10 minutes were about as good as the SW has ever sounded in RBA. Something to build on.

[NittanyMetros]

It was the first run of this, and I think it was definitely a passing grade from me. It was better than it had been, and there was a legitimate effort made on all sides. Something to build on.

From my vantage point there were times 133 and 102 were in sync and 101 was off too. It wasn't all 133, but in general I think it will get even better from here.

Liked some of the new songs too.

[Foz]

Really sounded great. Best I can remember.

[Charlestown Chiefs]

still needs work. lets see how long this lasts

[JayDelight729]

I had my reservations, but I was pleasantly surprised how well it went. Much better than the first two home games. Obrigado. I shook the hand of both ESC capos as well as the first half capos for both Viking and GSU for progress.

What we did today worked, and after watching the game later on TV, it shows. That was the loudest we've been in a long ass time. It wasn't near perfect, but nothing really is on the first try. Let's keep this going and all these problems, whether they be ego-related or logistical, will be solved.

And his whole thing about getting off beat certainly isn't an unsolvable problem, because there are sections much, much deeper and wider than ours in other clubs here and all around the world which are coordinated just fine. Whether it be having only one perch or whatever it takes we can always improve and today was the first step.

[Eleazar]

Well we know one thing...

[Rob Money]

To me it sounded like 101 was off time.
