So glad the rumor on Rouse was not true! See them in Finals and 3rd in 5A.

"Leandermomma" Instagram's feed has some short recordings from the bands today. Also TX Bands is has the live blog going on this one. You can click on the 2nd link on the Txbands Liveblog page.

Nice to see the "Mothership" again (Mandarin's, Vista Ridge's and now Coppell's big rotating platform)! I liked the way they used it with the center prop. and paint scheme. I agree they looked and sounded really good! Hope to see them in finals!

Heard they had their best run yet at the Football Game Friday night. I got to see them in exhibition Saturday night at the Vista Ridge Marching Festival, was looking and sounding better than last weekend and they had some new parts added. I am getting really excited for it and how it is going to turn out!

Looks like the 3 Box5 boom mic's for the band are high up and close to the field. Some of the band provided speakers may be behind or parallel with them so the sound will not pick up as good online from the solo speakers.

but soon, very soon! Time to start counting hours, so let me kick it off with 36 more hours to go!

Don't think I have ever heard Hebron do anything "Plain and simple" from a musical perspective, usually it is quite difficult. Was that just a turn of phrase I am interpreting incorrectly or is it a more basic show than in the past?

Wish UIL would confirm the Alamodome for UIL 2A/4A/6A State contest, still have it as site TBD in the web page ? Anyone know if they confirmed with the Alamodome yet and just have not updated the website? Open Class Contest 2021 1A/3A/5A Contest: November 1, 2, 3 Alamodome: San Antonio *2021 2A/4A/6A Contest: November 8, 9, 10 Site: To Be Determine

Like your projections and thought process! FYI; while watching the Vista Ridge practice this week I could tell that they are already lot's cleaner than last Friday. Making good progress! No half-time show this week to watch. VR is playing Abilene in Abilene and only Sr's and leadership band members are going to the game. Also looking forward to this contest, going to be so good to see all the bands live again in a contest environment! Also will be good to see where everyone is at for this time in the season.

Looking forward to the Leander / Vista Ridge game this Thursday! It's at Bible Stadium and I think I will sit on the Leander Side (home side) to watch the 1/2 time shows for this one ?. Leander Football looks like they have a chance at a 2 in a row for the first time in years, Vista Football did not look so good in the opener and Leander won it's opener.

Still don't see any lists yet but the tickets are up for sale now to the BOA contests!

Thanks for putting this together! Here are the current attendees for the Vista Ridge Marching Festival in order from 4A to 6A: Vista Ridge Marching Festival on 10/2/21 in the Austin/Central area: Burnet High School – Burnet Cuero High School – Cuero Lake Belton High School – Temple Manor New Tech High School – Manor Wimberley High School – Wimberley Anderson High School – Austin Bastrop High School – Bastrop Brenham High School – Brenham John B.

Taft High School – San Antonio This is from the VR Festival Webpage of current registered attendees.

Keep an eye out on Weiss, they are very good and have a good chance at a medal.

I am ready and can't wait! Have my hotel booked for Friday through Tuesday in San Antonio! Unfortunately I will not make Grand Nat's but will be cheering on Team Texas from home.

Would be interesting to see a poll of the students on who would want to go all three (BOA SA, State and GN) . I would think that most (given the chance)would love to make the trip to all 3 with the opportunity to perform and spend the time together. However understood on the $'s part. It is not an easy thing to do.

I am going to predict that at least 3 of them will medal this year ?

That's a great representation of Texas top tier Bands with this group! All are finalist and Medalist contenders. Grand Nat's is going to be something very special again this year!
