I think FloMo and Reagan definitely could have beaten Carmel. Hebron would have won music easily, but I'm not sure they could beat Carmel overall, probably Avon though.

Called it!

Omg that's hilarious! It's pretty normal for the winning band to freak out when they break ranks, but I've never seen the other bands swarm the winners like that! Even the Woodlands were getting in there! In that moment you can tell all those kids forgot they were in different bands and spent the whole season trying to beat each other. I think Vista Ridge would have been swarmed by all the bands if they were in the middle! This is one of the best marching band moments of all time and truly epitomizes everything great about this activity. Congratulations to everyone!

Not suprised Vista swept visual. I was straining to find an error in their marching at least once but it was impeccable.

I think the bigger record is when a non-north Texas band won. Its been awhileeeee.

We must have watched a different Vista Ridge, because that show is non-stop marching. It might be a little park and bark, but the movement is there.

Ugh, Thats ridiculous!

Dang, that's pretty frustrating, but honestly pretty good. Jumped over two bands from their area and beat some really good bands that most expected to be in finals. Goes to show how much talent those kids have, I couldn't be prouder of them.

It's one of the most nerve racking things ever. I loved it and hated it at the same time.

That's substantial improvement and it's not a suprise. The best Madison has been.

It's awesome that Zach is doing so well there. He was the best trumpet player at Round Rock when I was there and he seems to be an even better teacher!

It's a shame they didn't come to San Antonio, with how crazy things were they could have made finals.

Ive always wanted judges tapes to be released. I think they would be super interesting and insightful to listen to. I know each group receives their own tapes but it's almost always kept among the staff. Even DCI ones are rare to come across.

That was prelims. Claudia Taylor Johnson was third in Finals and Bowie was fourth. Flower Mound ended up 9th.

If Marcus plays like they did in prelims they'll be more than just in finals

Maybe this applies to Bowie, but Cedar Park was in the same panel as Bell and Westlake. Couldn't be more fair of a comparison. Cedar Park really needs to take advantage of their 5A status to go out of the box on design during these 6A state years.

It's time to catch up or be left in the dust.

I agree it sure seems like that coming into San Antonio. Heck Reagan almost won this thing. But looking at the results the past couple of years it sure seems like an either them or them situation.

Prosper can definitely make a case for national finals with that placement.

Flowermound and Ctj are the new Marcus and LD Bell

It should come out on Facebook. Rouse JUST finished so it'll be a little bit.

I really like this Flower Mound show, and it's super clean, but it feels super short. The transitions are really weak considering the difference in style of each movement.

Agreed, I forgot where I was while watching Reagan.

It's okay, the bands that didn't load in prelims are playing fine but the ones that were fine in prelims aren't so good. My stream is cosmically working out lol
