10 minutes ago, david19c said:I noticed that Rouse had mics on each side of the field (not soloist mics, it looked like they were directly picking up the band). Is this not just a cheap way to artificially increase their sound? Seems like they’re less of a “small band with a big sound” and more of a “small band that can afford good microphones”. Especially since they only really have big hits when they’re at the front of the field.
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.

15th - Cedar Ridge - 89.1 (Out by 0.05)
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.

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.

Cedar Ridge - fun show!
I know the show is “Medusa’s Secret World”, does anybody know why the bubble gum? Is that a reference to something?
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.

1, I believe in the Cedar Ridge comeback and do believe that they will make finals here. I'd say my bubble bands for finals that I don't have in my top 14 are Leander, James Bowie, Keller Central, Timber Creek, and Westlake. Unfortunately won't be able to watch any of this, hoping our football game is over before they day finals retreat which should happen, but best of luck to all these bands competing this weekend!
I too, believe in the Cedar Ridge comeback ✊

Reagan is NEISD
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.

Reword that please
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.

From what I have heard bowie has a breathtaking show. The story telling is truly like no other on how it displays the shapes and feelings of the heart. The musical arrangements are truly spectacular including new pieces by Kevin Shah and classics like dust in the wind. The work that has been put in since Katy is completely breathtaking. The show that will be put on today will be marvelous (NOT from Bowie) (( Probably from Churchill)
this kinda reads like an advertisement lmao

From the first block Cedar Ridge was outstanding! I am not sure what they did but it felt like a whole new show. As of right now no school has matched them in music. Round Rock is clean but they are missing something not sure. We will see where the judges place them.
I mentioned it earlier, but heavily agreed on Cedar Ridge! Things clicked in a way they haven't before imo

Videos are still uploading....
Here's the playlist of all bands finals performances with the exception of Lake Travis (it's a mess on my end)https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCGnY0AX0zIcQe0OkAhj1uCn7Q23tBWCb
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)

Cedar Ridge was fantastic! Color guard is stunning and their music has improved since BOA Austin. They are in good shape for next week UIL area and should be battling Reagan for 1st. I will be interested in seeing if CTJ will come back from their BOA Katy placement.
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?

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.
