This year's Final 4 astounded in ways both expected and unforeseen. These four color guards played to constructions I revere, as well as to (as is said in the vernacular) "design choices" that usually make my nose snarl.
By the end of the real championship week, all four played in my head over and over, muscling past the rest of the 200 or so performances I saw this season, to command these final four slots.
It's all over tomorrow, save for the "shouting." The color guard of the year and runner-up will be named, then all 32 top guards here will be praised for what they brought to my personal viewing.
For now: The 2008 Field&Floor Final 4.
