I will continue the trend of talking about our own schools show but seeing our kids dance to Brittany Spears and then then march off to the 1812 Overture in the closer is pretty awesome.  Other schools I have seen live and like a lot.....Vandy, Rouse, Reagan, Cedar Park, CTJ, and Johnson HS in Buda, TX.  Their race car show was a crowd please and for a new small single A school they looked great!!!

Ok yes, that new Johnson HS just really impressed me. Best new band of only Freshmen and Sophomores that I’ve ever seen, and I have seen quite a few of those believe it or not, especially around here. They are going to be a force to be reckoned with in a VERY short time!

Favorite Houston band this year so far, excluding TWHS: As of now, SFA. I think I’ll grow to seriously enjoy the show.

 

Favorite band overall this year so far: TOUGH! Currently I’m thinking Leander. (Although I’ve not seen top DFW bands yet.)

 

If anyone will take over Leander for my favorite overall band in the future, it will probably be Ronald Reagan.

My favorite overall packages so far are Reagan and TWHS. I LOVE Keller’s closer (I’m biased). Also, Hebron’s opener has me in awe. I can’t wait to see Leander’s Britney section live. Bowie’s aesthetic and attention to detail is enthralling and I love Waxahachie’s entire music book. There’s so much more and I think this thread definitely needs to be revisited after SA and Nats.

Well obviously my favorite show this year was the Plano Band's Marionette :) 

 

I am partial to the Pre and Post Show's Send in the Clowns, brings back memories!   But really the second movement is beautiful.  

They aren't a BOA band, but still enjoyed their show this year.  

 

But of the show's I have seen live, it would be Wakeland's show.    That Wylie Band has a good show too.   I haven't really seen much of anyone else's!      I have to go 
get a month's subscription to FloMarching so I can watch BOA SA.

Houston Area guy here!

 

I am in LOVE with Porter's Swan Lake and Equus show.  Who ever decided to roll those two works together is a genius.  It works so well.  I foresee them headed to San Antonio again.  They move with absolute grace and are really the total package.  

 

A close second, and sometimes first, is Galena Park HS.  They are playing music that you only hear bands in other areas of the state playing.  Mahler 2 and Shostakovich 11 with Alanis Morissette's Uninvited really do work together.  

 

Both of these bands make bold sounds that I find refreshing and strangely reminiscent of Houston's glory years in the 90's.  I hear Bob Chreste is working with both groups which would explain the sounds!  

 

However, my favorite show of the entire year thus far is Vandegrift.  They are going to do amazing things at nationals.  I just may make my way up there to see how it all goes.
