Except the kahoots makers who are all out to make people's lives miserable!

That Wakeland 2019 show was FIRE and you guys performed the heck out of it! It's the show that I thought had the highest chance of beating CP on the run they have been on.

MOst likely along with Rouse. Snapshot numbers place them both in 6A next year but we will see once final class assignments are given out in the next few weeks.

6A is going to be murderer's row for a few years

I am a huge fan of "The Wall of Sound." I never said I didn't like it. As a matter of fact it has been my preference in marching band since the mid 80s. PR's War and Peace Closer is one of my favorite company front wall of sound moments in all of marching competition. But just like any art, the perception of contemporary greatness has morphed and changed and we as fans need to do the same in our perception lest we become dated.

You're right. They should have been ninth

So you don't want to reward bands that perform as well marching as they do in a concert setting? Okay...Cedar Park didn't put Beethoven or Mozart in their show. For someone who's been watching marching band since the early 70s you sure seem like you are just learning about competition marching...

My wife does....and she's not sharing just letting me look....sorry if you read about any tragedies in Cedar Park tonight....🤣

Looking at the score sheets... CP - 8 Rouse - 20 Wakeland - 28 Cedar Park laid down a run to end not only to a season but to a dynasty

What I love about Argyle is what I loved about Cedar Park from 2015-2021....subtlety

Well, outside of the raw emotion in Rumours I'm not much of a fan

Nothing is saying that they got worse. They just didn't exceed the levels of every other band in the contest. I mean, what you're insinuating is that we should just ditch preliminaries and put all of the area champs into a finals and call it a day, until the finals and all but one area champ is victorious. Some areas are deeper than others. You've been around long enough to know this. Nothing said that bands got worse since area contest the competition just changed

I think it could but they would need to move it until the springtime and designate the marching band as student athletes.

They are sneaking in a Planes, Trains, and Automobiles reference.

What's a Hebron 🤣

I went to the Rouse Cedar Park game this weekend. I got to see Cedar Park but it was Rouse's homecoming and I didn't wait around for the 2nd half to see the Rouse Band. Here's CP's evolution

I really hope they leave that trumpet solist un-mic'd. A soloist that is not 100% in your face is not only so very natural but also rewarding. Their forms are really solid for week one and the sound is mature. It's great to see them fielding a larger guard as well.

How long do they want to keep the secret? First halftime, BOA San Antonio, Grand Nats? Next season? Are you going to get to perform for a crowd ever or is the show so ground breaking that it must never be shown?

85 seasons...multiple time bridesmaid... locked out of the G7 ... Boston Crusaders finally climbs the mountain and stand on top with an old school throw back type of show to boot. Congrats BAC!! What a ride the last few years has been watching and cheering for them to advance. Another huge kudos goes out to Santa Clara Vanguard. "Don't call it a come back...." And they had a Texas High School link this year with SASI working with their leadership team. Some notables in SASI (Spicer, Vandoren (Vandegrift), Yee (Cedar Park), Mike Howard (Leander ISD), White (Reagan) and a lot more of extremely talented top tier staff. I was happy to see Troopers in 10th. What a season.

I love CHuck's music and DCI's many many takes on it. His talent and creativity will be missed.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the Trooper's journey over the lasst few years. This year's show was an amazing send off.

That Vista Ridge show music literally just gave me chills.... This is the music selection I am most looking forward to this year. Grogh into Lacrimosa via Hurt? Yes please!

Leander ISD doing what Leander ISD does. Celebrate it's students and staff.

Cedar Park really blew the roof off of Lucas Oil this morning. Big Texas sound matched with their best ensemble sounds of the year. Those kids really turned up this morning. I was sitting in front of 2 arrangers and 2 non-competing directors. They were not mildly but highly surprised by their run. 3A is a two horse race between Castle and Cedar Park. Prosper had a nice run earlier this morning. We should see them Saturday.

I wonder how many of this drumline got a perform in Super Regional Finals in their high school days
