Will be at finals

Amazing final schedule! I’m a bit surprised about no Colleyville and rock Hill being bottom, half, but a big congratulations Heath on top half! I’m super excited to see all his amazing bands tonight.

If you knew how to read you’d have seen SLC is not attending finals because of homecoming. No need for the excessive rudeness.

Man, kudos to all band members going out and performing because it is hot.

Gooooooood morning and happy BOA South Houston day! As usual, I wish all the bands the best of luck and I pray we give it 100%! May the odds be ever in your favor!

Just got to the stadium

All I have to say is FloMo Flawless...... im sorry Hebron.... but they are just amazing.... I saw Hebron last weekend in Melissa they were amazing but FloMo has that it factor for me.... and the color guard was superb...... little things when it comes to the color guard placement of hands when catching tosses but I also give them a break because the wind has picked up.... but just freaking amazing FLOWER MOUND.... GREAT JOB AMAZING SHOW START TO FINISH.......

Wowwwww Tompkins!

Let the fun begin!!!! Good luck tomorrow Allen and Rockwall Heath that are up early and priming for what will be an incredibly long day for them!

Here’s the official Finals schedule:

The inconsistency is getting out of control tbh. They need to put in adequate training so you don’t have rogue judges going off the rails.

CH did not deserve to make finals, big drop off from last year unfortunately.

Top 6 were random order, so yes…. Wylie and LT are both top 6 and Likely Top 2

no colleyville?? Wow, interesting to see the full prelims scoring.

I think the judging panel was normal uil concert band judging not marching band judges

Wylie got Music and Guard Lebanon Trail got Percussion and Visual

anyone have prelims scores?

Cy fair bottom half and Friendswood top half wow! I am very surprised to see Klein oak in after that run.. and Fulshear, clear brook, Tompkins out. Hope KO has a better run tonight because they have the potential to be great but they weren’t this morning. huge congrats to clear lake!! First boa finals? Definitely first in a while. Well deserved!

My assumption would be Hebron taking visual achievement and flower mound taking visual content. Funny how those things work out.

Visual tie....BS. Not even close. FloMo gets that all day long.

@Tubalord11 You are right, its Crown 2013 for the Hebron show

All I remember is class 1 Cy ridge 3rd Stratford 2nd spring woods 1st class 2 cy creek 3rd kempner 2nd langahm 1st class 3 Cy park 3rd I forgot first and 2nd I think tomball 1st and Klein 2nd I forgot class 4 grand oaks 3rd katy 2nd Bridgeland 1st best overall in all captions

I agree about Coppell, I felt they left the door open for a different group to snag a top half spot in finals tonight. They’ll certainly get two runs today though!

Agree. Also didn't feel Coppell was locked in. Wasn't a fan of their show either. Graceful but didn't have a wow factor for me.

Wasn't a fan. Thought it was uneventful. Drill design was meh. Music was solid.

FloMo > Hebron for sure

FloMo was just excellence as a band. I mean it doesn’t get much better than that. I have no words

Okay so the Dawson hype was real

Ok after that round of bands it's hard for me to but them in any order...... each band had amazing high points and minor things that separate them in areas...... in my opinion Lone Star played their music much more clearly and concise..... yes wax. Wakeland, Wylie East, Lone Star; SLC were all loud but to me Lone Star was more clear.... Movement/ GE Wakeland WAX, and Wylie East were chugging along but had some individual issues with students..... So if i were to rank music I'd put 1. Lone Star 2 Wakeland 3. Wylie /wax 4. Wax/Wylie Movement/ GE I'd put 1. Wakeland 2. Wax 3. SLC 4. Lone Star. I know I'm a rookie to this but just how I see it..

If I remember correctly from last year, you’re foster, right? That was a great run!

I did, they had a really good run. I loved the soprano sax solo and their ballad was sooo emotionally moving. 😛

I thought Cain and Brook had much better runs than last weekend clear lake absolutely put on a finalist worthy performance just now.. wow!!

Yes

Good morning everyone on this beautiful Saturday morning. Can’t wait to see some amazing bands all day. Just as a reminder bottom 6 will perform in random order and top 6 will Perrin random order this year. Best of luck to everyone!

Feels right for the rest of the bands that even hope to snag a medal here 😮‍💨

HAPPY COMP DAY EVERYONE AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL PERFORMING BANDS!!!

No Dawson in finals is lwk INSANE

Draw times for area J, pretty solid spread all around honestly. Probably one of the most consistent schedules in regards to strength in blocks, and McKinney Boyd finally got a time that isnt in the top 3 haha

Day before thoughts: 1. Cy-Fair (Mus, GE) 2. Pearland (Vis) 3. Seven Lakes 4. Cypress Woods 5. Claudia Taylor Johnson 6. Klein Oak 7. Stephen F. Austin 8. Clear Brook 9. Dickinson 10. Friendswood 11. Foster 12. Churchill Fulshear ——————————— 13. Dawson 14. Obra D. Tompkins

Guys guys obviously the band with the biggest prop will win tomorrow

Rofl! The town could be wiped out by a meteor and they would still find a way to pull it off.

I liked the video of Celina. They just sound and looked more "stable" than SS. I don't know if NL can score up there with those 2. No closer yet? They also have some timing issues. Farmersville we will see. I feel like NL and Farmers are on the 2 second tier. NL looks crisper and sounds better by quite a bit though. I still wouldn't count out Canton for this second tier.

Here are my predictions for Tommorrow place 1: Pearland HS place 2: Cy-Fair HS place 3: Cypress Woods HS place 4: Claudia Taylor Johnson HS place 5: Seven Lakes HS place 6: Clear Brook HS place 7: Dickinson HS place 8: Friendswood HS place 9: Dawson HS place 10: Stephen F. Austin HS place 11: Elkins HS place 12: Shadow Creek HS music caption: Pearland HS ge caption: Pearland HS marching caption: Cy-Fair HS

Last minute predictions: 1. Boswell 2. Richland (North Richland Hills) 3. The Colony 4. Birdville 5. North Mesquite 6. Lakeview Cen10 7. Little Elm 8. Mansfield Legacy 9. Frisco Cen10 10. North Garland Bubble: Anna/Krum

name twin but 1. boswell 2. the colony 3. richland 4. birdville/north mesquite 5. little elm 6. lakeview cen10 7. legacy 8. north garland 9. highland park/anna 10. krum

Anybody seen Canton lately?

Welp there's your winners' ladies and gentlemen

does anyone know if they're will be a full band retreat for this comp?

I honestly don't see #1 being anything other than Cen10, especially with how dominant they were at Saginaw. I think John Horn could bump up a couple, their show is actualy pretty solid.
