It will be at the Alamodome. They will leave it as TBD until a contract is signed.

Leander ISD doesn't allow multiple out of state trips the same year. So if Macy's is happening, GNats is not.

I am a numbers person at heart, so I totally get the need to try to compare scores, but I don't think you can AT ALL. I think it's useless.

Semifinals and Finals are both on Saturday

You'll have to catch a rehearsal. Nobody performs on both Thursday and Friday in the competition. 😁

Interesting that list includes the bands that came in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th.

Flower Mound: What's in the box?!!?!??? 😁

The 2nd post gets at my response to the first. When my kids started at Vista Ridge, they went to MANY contests where they did not make finals. And it was particularly difficult watching their sister schools having so much success at the same time. Vista Ridge is absolutely proof that it can change.

Who says it was a waste?

Austin winning on a per capita basis. 😁

There is no top/buttom split

They won't have the same advantage tomorrow. They'll be going pretty early.

Every top band in Texas blows DCI away in terms of woodwinds.

Are they charging for the stream?

Updated chart of Finals participants:

That is a lot of bubblers for one spot in Finals. 😮

Also remember - 12 Finalists vs 14

I'm proud of Vista Ridge for finishing ahead of two of the three bands who beat them at BOA Austin.

You must do penance and root for Vista at State. And buy me some barbecue.

Just a joke about you dropping my Ranger Band into the bottom half.

You just made the list, buddy.

2019 - Six bands in SA finals went to GN. Five of them placed better in Indy than in SA, one worse. Gotta disagree.
