Yes, it's definitely the Cedar Ridge parents that seem cocky and/or pretentious in this exchange, and not you. Considering your posts are almost exclusively pertaining to Vista Ridge, or disparaging other programs, I'd be careful with the way I speak on boards like this. You represent your program to the community, and going as far as to kick a program that had a rough season when they're already down is pretty ridiculous and immature. The message you responded to, was obviously a student hurting from not making finals, but they still went out of their way to uplift Vista Ridge. I've seen plenty of Vista parents, both in person, and on community platforms, represent their band in ways that I disagree with, but I don't let it effect my viewpoint of the talented kids on field. It seems you could learn to do the same.

I'm fairly certain this isn't a Rouse exclusive thing.

Maybe Vandy should invest in having someone jingle some keys around in your face while they perform so you can pay attention and actually appreciate it.

ugh man that sucks for them, was really hoping for them to be in finals Also, I didn't get the chance to say much during the event, but holy moly, Vandy had some musical moments that made my jaw drop. So so so beautiful. That first place was earned.

KRUM NATION

boy am I nervous for no reason

Box5's stream has some of the worst color grading I think I've ever seen in one of these. It seems dumb, but so many props that I've seen pop in person just look bad in the stream.

I know the show is intended to be based on a younger, more carefree Medusa, and I think the bubblegum was just used because of it conveying some of those ideas, and to develop the overall color pallette of the show.

I too, believe in the Cedar Ridge comeback ✊

C. Moon did NOT like Cedar Ridge darn

Yes, but Cedar Ridge, Round Rock, McNeil and Westwood are all RRISD, which makes the total of RRISD bands in that list 4. I should also clarify I'm not like 100% confident in my prediction, I missed a few group that I'd consider state finalist potentials. I'm just going off of what I have seen today.

I thought McNeil did pretty well, so I wouldn't be fully surprised if the state qualifiers were Reagan, Cedar Ridge, Round Rock, McNeil, and Westwood, bringing the total of RRISD to 4. Although, none of my predictions are solid!

After watching McNeil, I must say that there's a non-zero chance that 4 RRISD bands make state.

this kinda reads like an advertisement lmao

I mentioned it earlier, but heavily agreed on Cedar Ridge! Things clicked in a way they haven't before imo

Whoa, Cedar Ridge just had their best run of the season imo It's the first time I've seen the vision of the show really start to click! The brass also cranked it a lot more volume wise. Very excited to see more!

I also found this video of Cedar Ridge's exhibition! I'm still on the search for a Lake Travis recording to complete the collection! Thank you for your recordings! Archiving performances is something I think is super important.

Really fell in love with Vandy and Rouse's shows at this event, after coming off lukewarm about both after BOA Austin! (design-wise, not performance wise)

They're getting crazy blend on their sound, and I think the closer easily has my favorite music and drill writing of the show, even if it's short. Just hoping they can crank the volume a bit more as we start to enter this tail end of the season!

Just out of curiosity, what does the R in your username stand for? 🤔 Is it Rouse perchance?
