  1. Oh wow! That's shocking, with the grand nats trip upcoming. I expected him to leave within a couple of years, but not yet. I just saw him last week at an event honoring the Keller High Choir Director who just retired.
  2. Don't sleep on Forney! They have been excellent recently.
  3. Wow this is stacking up to be possibly my favorite contest of the year. Could we get a new first time regional champ?
  4. I keep thinking back to JJ Pearce. I loved their show back when they made Waco finals and thought their musicianship was phenomenal. I wouldn't say they are underrated necessarily, but Keller Central often gets forgotten in relation to their Keller counterparts and they are always solid. Trinity is another example of a band that gets overlooked because of the high quality of other local bands but is really good as well.
  5. I wouldn't worry too much about it. People underestimate Keller pretty much every year.
  6. Waxahachie beat TC by one ordinal and Keller by 2, so it was very close. I think all three have a good shot at finals here with a great run.
  7. The DFW groups have historically done better at UIL than BOA. That includes LISD north, the Keller schools, Coppell, Waxahachie, Wylie, and Duncanville who will be competing at state this year. I'm not sure in every case that will be true, but overall I think we will see another DFW area school in finals.
  8. Cedar Park won't be there. Also from the bubble, Bowie, Leander, Keller Central, and Rouse won't be there. Going off of prelims BOA results, that would put Timber Creek in with Westlake and Waxahachie the first two out.
  9. It's crazy that an Austin group has never won the San Antonio super regional!
  10. Perhaps, but I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that larger groups are able to add more showstopping GE elements and more complex musical packages. Just because it's not exactly fair doesn't mean that the large groups don't deserve it.
  11. Yeah at this point Pearland has shown that they should be an expectation in finals. Aso, way to go KELLER!
  12. You just named 30 groups, and it would not surprise me if all 30 groups had scores above 85.
  13. WOW! The Woodlands definitely sounded great, but to be honest, I have no idea how their marching looked because I was too mesmerized by their impeccable colorguard. They had more people in their rifle line than some entire bands have members.
  14. My sister lives in Azle now, so I'm a little biased, but I thought they did great!
  15. Anyone think Wylie could make state finals next week? I thought they were really good and their show seems very fit for UIL success.
  16. I was trying to think back on how many times we heard it and it has to be in the 5-10 range. But it just works so well on the field and brings a lot of energy so I totally understand why bands use it. The only downside to great songs like that is that it is hard not to compare one band's rendition with ones from the past that you really like.
  17. Rock Hill had one of my favorite shows from the last two day from an entertainment factor. I hope they take after Prosper and start going to nationals regularly!
