But people can post fake recaps and discredit bands? That’s not right.
I'm working on taking those down too.

FYI, Recaps are not to be posted here until after the conclusion of Finals Awards as that is UIL's policy for when Recaps are officially publicly posted.

In case you haven't noticed, we have a new, fresh, and much more modern look to the Forums thanks to a big software upgrade from @Clarinot!
There's lots of new functionality (like tags) to play around with and I'm sure that some things may be broken.
Let us know what you think and if you have found any problems!

FYI, the schedule has been updated to add both Lake Highlands and JJ Pearce. This is due to the cancellation of the Coppell USBands that has several DFW area bands scrambling to find a replacement competition. It is possible that one or two more may or may not be added in the next day or two.

Prosper was a GN Finalist last year and missed Finals at a regular Regional the very next year. I am not aware of a single time that this has ever happened in the past.
-
That schedule is straight reverse prelims placement order.
-
Those are awesome, but none of them are even in the same league as the things that have happened so far this year.

I couldn't make it to BOA McAllen today but I'm curious to know how Roma sounded with mellophones? I believe this is the first year they march mellophones after years and years of them marching concert horns and was wondering how their sound changed (if any)
It is definitely a different texture, more in line with the rest of the activity, but still with outstanding players. I miss the unique color and visual of the concert French horns, but the mellos allow them to speak and project through a lot more easily.

Finals Schedule:
7:30 - Exhibition - Santa Rosa
7:45 - Mission
8:00 - Sharyland
8:15 - Birdville
8:30 - United
8:45 - Del Rio
9:00 - Pioneer
9:15 - John B Alexander
9:30 - McNeil
9:45 - Roma
10:00 - Winston Churchill
That means Pio, JBA, McN, Roma, and WC were top-5.
-
JBA was nuts!
-
Also, the rain started when McNeil got their tarps set. Then it stopped shortly after McNeil finished. Then McNeil came back out to do a proper fold on their tarps and the rain started again....
-
United was awesome. I would personally put Churchill over them, but United had a full show. Hard to pick.
-
Agreed. Part of me felt like they were pushing too much for volume when they didn't have the numbers for it, but overall very good showing.
You could definitely tell that they had just put the closer on the field this week too.
-
Those are my top 5 right now. Mission had some really great moments but also some very not great moments. But overall, all the potential is there and they have a great swagger and presence on the field that will boost their visual scores.
-
Churchill was super exciting! Love how bought-in the performers are to all of the GE aspects.

Quoted from the people who are head of the contest
That is absolutely incredible! The Commandant's Own is a FANTASTIC group!

I wrote a whole lot about that Brazoswood situation in my post-competition review. That was the 2nd Houston BOA that I'd ever been to.
-
The live blog (live.txbands.com) is up and running for tomorrow. It was an 8.5 hour drive from Dallas including all stops and meals and such. I’m tired already!

Anyone know who won area b food?
I went to IHOP right across the street after staying in the parking lot really late talking to parents. There were lots of kids from the Birdville band in there after they got back from the contest they went to.
-
I saw the video (not just audio) somewhere fairly recently, but I can't remember where and can't find it again.
-
This reminds me of the fact that I was talking with an Alum and Parent from Haltom 2004 at Area B on Saturday and I just started singing the breakdown section of that show.
