    also am i the only one who hates the 50 bodies on the floor rule change??? Lol. interesting experiment but the IW guards using it this yr look so busy and cluttered to me. they need to find ways to hide some of the bodies some of the time. doesn't look as dynamic otherwise.

    I was just re-watching Mirage and thinking this exact same thing. Do we really need 50 bodies on the freakin floor?!?!  lol I’m picturing Invictus with that many members creating their serpentine sculptures all over the floor. 🤣🤣

    Here's Tarpon Springs from yesterday.

    They've brought back the musicians and are broadcasting "news" on TV in real time. I'm getting Coppell 2023 vibes from these cameramen. Also Carmel 2004, for those old enough to remember that marching show. Super high energy and fun. Lots of 6s and rolls. It's another crowd pleaser. I think I would agree that the performers are a bit stronger than the show itself, at least from a staging perspective. It's a little scattershot looking. I get "random acts of color guard" vibes pretty frequently, sort of like the 2022 show. But then the performers are killing it, so...

    Definitely a medal contender!

    They look great as usual, and so did their other two guards. At least the little bit I saw on Instagram seemed to show that the A guard is doing well, and the middle school guard in particular looks fantastic too!

    I was thinking the same thing earlier tonight when I got on here. It can be very overwhelming to have so many topics added at once. If TXBands could be similar to how Hornrank divides everything into its own category, I think that would be a whole lot better.

    I definitely suggested it to the mods. I think @Clarinot is working on it. 🤗

    I was just googling to find out some about the history of marching band competitions in Texas, and it led me here.  I should have known just to start with this forum. :)

     

    Great info and summary, thanks @AlsoIntoSpace !
