Unbelievably disappointed to hear this. JBA was easily one of the most entertaining shows of the night, and heck even if it wasn't, NO ONE deserves that kind of treatment. Make my blood boil to know that they got away with this.

Listen, if Vandy's new niche includes playing 2000s classics as ballads that culminate with a guard member in a spinning prop, count me in.

Wait, where did you find the list?

Dang, I'm glad to see Txbands will be live blogging the event this year, but they stole my old job!

Oak Ridge H.S., TX — 76.00 Outstanding Music Performance — Ronald Reagan H.S., TX Outstanding Visual Performance — Ronald Reagan H.S., TX Outstanding General Effect — Ronald Reagan H.S., TX

Oh wow, Westlake didn't have most of these props/scrims at Austin did they? At least I don't remember them

Whoa, the music in SFA's show is awesome!

It's a shame about the singer's mic not working, but the snippet of Cedar Ridge's closer that they put in is super cool, really liked that woodwind ensemble layered over the first impact.

Hoping for the sun to have an underdog victory and for this contest to not get rained out.

4-6 spanning across just one point is so interesting, I'm excited to see if this season stays this competitive, or if we see bands start to pull forward!

Took a look at the score breakdown, and WOW that visual GE score was huge for Rouse.

7:15 p.m. – Class A Champion Exhibition: The Ann Richards School, TX 7:30 p.m. – James Bowie H.S., TX 7:45 p.m. – Westwood H.S., TX 8:00 p.m. – Leander H.S., TX 8:15 p.m. – Westlake H.S., TX 8:30 p.m. – Round Rock H.S., TX 8:45 p.m. – Weiss H.S., TX 9:00 p.m. – Rouse H.S., TX 9:15 p.m. – Vandegrift H.S., TX 9:30 p.m. – Claudia Taylor Johnson H.S., TX 9:45 p.m. – Cedar Park H.S., TX 10:00 p.m. – Cedar Ridge H.S., TX 10:15 p.m. – Vista Ridge H.S., TX 10:30 p.m. – Class AA Champion Exhibition: Princeton H.S., TX Wow! Rouse and Cedar Ridge in the top half!! There does seem to be a discrepancy between the Music for All site and social media. Ann Richards is listed as going last, with Princeton as a no show on social media, and what I just posted on their site.

Agreed on that bit, it didn't really add much for me, and felt like it wasn't in line with the rhythm of the show.

I think Vista was great, but Leander is still my best of show so far.
