Just double checked. Austin Bowie has Waco on their calendar

Did you forget James Bowie?

I think 5 bands from each panel. And then the next 4 highest scoring from both panels combined.

Oh my, I totally forgot about the 2 panel judging system.

Reagan’s drill and design is genius! The story I get is that the color guard are in a cult and they are trying to convert this member and bring her into their secret world. It’s probably not that dark but it’s why I’m falling in love with it

Ooh it's so chilly outside. FINALLY!

Also, did Keller's guard seem noticeably smaller this year? And maybe i'm just now noticing but I've seen so many double swing flags in ballads this year.

Just some quick thoughts. Flower Mound was fantastic! They performed so well and had many great moments. I think they deserved their win, but was not expecting that score gap and caption sweep. Especially in music. Having a "complete" show was definitely very nice to watch they always have such well designed shows. Hebron had so much depth to their sound and it was amazing. I personally was hoping for them to win but all is well. Maybe not enough depth in their show just yet? Anybody know of any other contest that they plan to attend besides SA? I felt like Marcus' show had a touch of magic that I didn't get last week. The moment where the band members were in a circle and looked like that they were writing in books was beautiful. I love how the show is coming together. Guard was fantastic as usual and a very lush ensemble sound. Keller sounded amazing. I was very out of it last week but I felt like they had a much better performance tonight and I'm very happy that they are continuing to increase their difficulty every year. Frankly, my brother and I feel like the props look somewhat ugly and that the concept/theme isn't as strong as it could be? LD Bell. I love their opening movement soo much and their closer. They lose me a bit in-between but I'm liking this show more than last year. Can't wait to see how they do at St. Louis. Soo happy with where Wakeland placed. I personally had them in 6th myself but was not all that confident that they would actually place that high. My older brother tagged along for the first time and they were his favorite. A very crowd friendly show and I'm so ecstatic for them. Coppell's show was hauntingly beautiful and eerie. Their uniforms reminded me of Phantom Regiment and I love how they used their capes. Still trying to wrap my head around the show theme though. Didn't get to catch Waxahachie but I remember bits from last week. Specifically the ballad and an awesome soloist. Thankfully I'll get to see them in Waco. It's really too bad they don't compete at SA. Timber Creek. Very happy to see that they made finals. They still looked and sounded great and I loved the comedic text on their props but I'm not sure how far this show can take them. Very strong sound though. I sat near the top and it just hits you. It'll be good for me to see all of the KISD shows again on Tuesday at the Marching Expo. Also did not get to see KC in finals. Saw that they added more to the props though and know how fun this show is. One thought I had last week was that it felt too much like a halftime performance with pep tunes and what not. Overjoyed that they were able to make finals and not even as the alternate due to Owasso's incident. 3 KISD bands in finals, woo! Time to go searching the internet for videos.

So far I'm not feeling Hebron's ballad this year either. But the rest of the show completely had me. They sounded out of this world and I am so happy I got to experience them tonight.

How much of their show did each of the finalist have on the field in prelims?

Ooh, great performance time for Keller. No surprises for top half/bottom half.

I would have to agree. Especially after 2017 which was one heck of a season.

From the hornrank forums: Owasso’s guard burnt their feet on the turf in prelims and doctors told them they couldn’t perform tonight due to the severity of the burns.

So many shockers today! No 7L, Westwood over TWHS. I mean I didn't get to watch many performances but I was not expecting this.

Wow! Congrats to KC. After last weeks results, I was a little worried for their chances here. I wonder what happened with Owasso

Didn't get to watch TWHS show since I'm at work but I got to listen and its still stuck in my head!

Absolutely loved their show last week. Has a more fun and childish feel on a space show which I love.

And it's of them walking off the field....

Nooooo I just woke up That's what I get for going to sleep at 2:00 am.

I was only able to come to HEB finals due to work so I had no idea the heat was that bad. But it's better than the competition getting rained out!

I mean, wouldn't it have been unrealistic for someone early last year to say that the 6A championships would come down to VR and FloMo? I do think that VR will be a clear winner but never say never!

Marcus has these cool book props and this tall ramp that wasn't finished at HEB. Also Wakeland's giant rocket looked awesome!

BOA Austin's has been completed on the predictions's page so I'm assuming throughout the week.

I was so tired last night that I don't feel I was fully there. Still enjoyed every band though and can't wait to see some of them again this Saturday when I am hopefully more awake and when shows are more complete. Wakeland was my personal favorite though and I hope they make finals.
