Wow. Great improvement from Lone Star since Prosper!

5 full pages of nonsense so far. 🤣🤣🤣

I watched it on the stream and I sure didn’t see any of the things they referred to.

And I love you guys too. In fact I love y’all so much that I am about to drive through floods and tornadoes up here from my home in NW Arkansas down to Oklahoma and Texas today to get to y’all. 🚗⛈️🌪️🥴♥️

Bands who advance to area but choose not to attend state do not lower the number of slots an area will be qualified to send. If 25 bands gets 1s at region but only 23 decide to go forward, the area still advances 5 bands to state.

“And yes, I may be biased being that I play flute for Weslaco.” There, I fixed it for you.

Mine too!! 😁😎😎

I heard they changed everything around, taught the trumpet quartet how to toss rifles while playing their solos one handed, and Peter Gabriel himself is going to pop out of the giant sunglasses prop and sing the In Your Eyes closer live along with the band! 😃😎💙 just teasing, of course. (How fun would that be tho?!) And you are certainly entitled to your opinion! Honestly though, the show isn’t easy by any means and there is GE a plenty! Will it be enough to get them into finals at either San Antonio or grand nationals? I think it will. But only time will tell! Happy Bandoween my friends! Keep plugging away and good luck to everyone at UIL, SA and GN these next few crazy weeks. Y’all got this!

I was just about to start an entirely new thread about this! TXBands is running so slow for me lately, and some times it won’t load at all. On Saturday I figured it was just because of Area happening all day and lots of people trying to post, but it’s all the time now. Any one else?

That’s beautiful!

I’m loving how unpredictable it all is this year. We might even see a new band at the top! 😍

I am really looking forward to seeing 5A finals live again in the Alamodome next Tuesday! I know all of the bands are going to bring their best performances. 😊 Hope to see some of you there!

I’m having a hard time picturing Lone Star above Leander simply because of how LS ended up 11th in finals a few weeks ago at BOA Prosper, and how Leander received several 2nd place ordinals at Area this past Saturday, ahead of both Rouse and of CP in several categories. I am not discounting Lone Star at all, in fact I LOVE their show! I just think Leander is being a bit underestimated here.

I am assuming this is the multicam link https://www.nfhsnetwork.com/events/uil/gama1015f8588

Also, you can watch it on that infernal football channel. https://www.nfhsnetwork.com/events/uil/gama76d4a348c

They have a magnificent guard as well!

No, that’s an honor for the OG band nerds like Daniel “DanPod” Valdez and Daniel “Xenon” Sanchez. 🤗

We really desperately need a whole WGI category on the forum so we can create separate threads for each contest! Please please @Clarinot @Danpod @Xenon and anyone else who has the authority to do so! 🥹

Yeah, I guess 2 bands who received 1s at Region decided not to make the trip for Area.

Great minds think alike! 😁
