Thanks for the links! Just a couple days ago it was still up in the air whether Livestream was going to stream Friday's competition, like they did last year.
BTW here's the thread I started on this year's Worlds a few days ago

As best I can figure the competition starts at 2:45am PST. I will be up, with café mocha in hand. Sadly I have to leave for work around 6:30am so I won't be around for the denouement.
I always take note of the dress of the G1 bands.
I just watched three of the Friday bands. All wore dark hose, dark waistcoats, white long-sleeved shirts, and black Glengarries. (One of these days a G1 band will dare to wear Balmorals. No, that's just crazy talk.)
I note that SLOT and Glasgow Police marched in on the hammering pentatonic hornpipes that have been almost mandatory over the last 20 years. Police Service Northern Ireland played one in A Major.
