Vista Ridge is making a serious case for a medal here. Favorite show of the day thus far

Awesome soloist-to-group sound in the ballad of Rouse's show!

What a great selection of music from Pioneer. Multiple memorable tunes that work together really well!

I know you're removing yourself to remove bias, but I hope you know that y'all are near the top from this season.

I've liked how Hendrickson has unique inserts each season, and also a generic non-show insert for other purposes.

This is a rumor that happens every year, and it's one that's false practically every time. Ease off a bit. There are some valid reasons for why we didn't make it.

Yes, Cypress Falls is under different leadership. But are you within the program? I'd be careful with this knowledge, because there are factors that likely (read: almost definitely) affected the band far more than the leadership change that happened last season, especially considering that the head director of the marching band is not the one that changed.

FWIW, High cam has noticeably less ads.

I was outside the stadium following our performance and the trumpet was clear as day. Felt really good coming off of our run, and while thinking 'that can't actually be happening again this season can it?' (also Hebron at BOA Bedford), it really was in the back of my mind at that moment. Seeing y'all coming off the field, the expression in everyone's faces confirmed it for me.

6A State Qualifiers: Brazoswood Cedar Ridge Claudia Taylor Johnson Clements Coppell Cy-Fair Dawson Duncanville Flower Mound Harlingen Hebron Homer Hanna (Brownsville) Hendrickson James Bowie (Austin) James E. Taylor Jersey Village John B. Alexander (Laredo) John Horn Katy Keller Leander Marcus Montwood North Shore Oak Ridge Pearland Pebble Hills Prosper PSJA Rockwall Ronald Reagan Round Rock Seven Lakes Stephen F. Austin (Fort Bend) The Woodlands The Woodlands College Park United (Laredo) Vandegrift Vista Ridge Waxahachie Westlake (I've fiddled with naming conventions to list them as what we would most easily recognize each group as)

I'm gonna have to bite my tongue off with these results.

It's much nicer that the mathematical maximum time between a prelims and finals performance is 'only' 12 hours, which is very unlikely to happen (Cy-Fair could go 9:30 AM and PM if certain State Contenders miss), whereas a certain group had a 14+ hour gap between performances in 2016. It was a very necessary Area split.

Are the back to the newer interface?

Looks like everything is back on schedule starting with Anderson. The break between blocks 3 and 4 is also 30 minutes longer.

I was a student on the receiving end of a very similar situation 2 years ago. Large gusts of wind toppled multiple of our props (I'll add that we even arranged them to avoid wind issues), and the pit crew next to us helped us get them stood back up for deconstruction (IIRC, it was FloMo parents who had just finished loading up Leonardo's wings). It's definitely one of those things that I'll remember when I'm done with marching band.

Bridgeland opened in 2017 under Cy-Falls' former head band director Shawn McAnear. They do not have a class of 2019. I'd argue that their new-school presence was overshadowed by Weiss and Glenn last year.

Which leads to one of the quirks about Cy-Fair. Cy-Fair is the official name of the high school, Cypress Fairbanks is the school district. The hyphenated name is the only name the school goes by, which is unlike the other 8 schools that start with Cypress. Even UIL has listed them incorrectly at times.

Any reason BOA Conroe hasn't made it on yet?

Bowie's probably going to be an entirely different show now that the rain is gone.

Can't fool me, that's a beauty blender.

I don't think we should call it final. Maybe a smaller group will surprise us (like Whitesboro in 2016)

Any specification on genre? I have a large array of electronic music that I could find something in, but I probably couldn't come up with anything classical if I were to try. I'm going to search for something (probably without lyrics) regardless, and respond around lunch. Lunchtime edit: mostly bass-y/trap stuff I've come up with at the moment. Also no clue if you're using Spotify or Youtube or something else. LSL - B L O O D B A T H noax - Invasion noax - The End Arzon - Devilman SLIGHT - Release Troyboi - Flamez (The Alexander Lewis Remix is a trombone cover) brothel. - vi (and possibly vii) Vincent - Rukus Vincent - Achilles XVII (Vincent) - Anax Lyrics Walls - V2 That's what my preferences would likely be (especially if you're narrating over it) Actually, have a 70's Disco song as well: CJ & Co. - Devil's Gun (not really dark, but I thought it would be interesting to include) Edit 2: Re-ordered, added more, and struckthrough tracks I personally wouldn't call 'dark' enough. They might still work, but I'll try to save you a bit of time by putting the better one's first.

Here's one: Edit: It's unlisted. Should I remove the link?
