If you want to follow the Best in Group competition, now is the time to tune your TV to CNBC.

Great rendition of the National Anthem by the cast of Broadway’s Matilda.

LOVED the commercial from Subaru showing dogs driving a car and barking at a mail truck when it passed by.

Tune in now so you don’t miss anything! (And check back here if you can’t get to a TV – I’ll be announcing the Group winners as soon as each group finishes.)
