    I saw a picture of our Vandegrift uniform team (all volunteers, BTW), in the parking lot, repairing and sewing the uniform of a Cedar Ridge band member, while they were still wearing it. Love that. We're all truly one big band family.

    Aw that really is a sweet moment, and it kinda reminds me of being in band when Cedar Ridge and Vandegrift's uniforms were just similar enough for people to confuse us from time to time. I remember lining up for San Antonio finals and a band mom was REALLY hyping us up and we were so happy that someone that didn't even know us was so happy for us, then she said "Go Vandegrift! You guys are gonna do great!" and we realized she had us mistaken for someone else. It almost makes sense for the Vandy Uniform team to help out a Cedar Ridge member haha

    Because band directors want uniforms that are adaptable to different show themes and not locked into one color scheme. Of course more bands are ditching their spirit uniforms completely for competitions and just doing a "disposable" custom top each year. Then there's Hebron, who has their school color game uniforms and a totally different competition uniform which is so unique it became their show theme this year. 

    Something I find a little funny is that Cedar Ridge's new uniform is adaptable and the colors can be interchanged, but they still stuck with the purple show design in 2019 and this year. Guess they just like the color!

    2021 BOA San Antonio Super Regional (Nov. 5 & 6)

    As an alumni of RRISD, I'm so proud of all of the showings from them so far! From Round Rock High School with probably the most challenging and entertaining show I've seen from them in a hot minute, to Cedar Ridge with my person favorite performance of the day (totally unbiased), to McNeil with potentially the best band I've ever seen from them! They've bumped up their volume so much, and I couldn't be happier for them.

    My personal predictions
    (based on their past history and how they've been doing this season)
     
    Locks:
    CTJ
    Reagan
    Vandegrift
    Vista Ridge
    Cedar Park
    Leander
    Rouse (they're impressively climbing up!)
    Marcus
    Hebron
     
    Bubbles:
    Bowie
    Cedar Ridge
    Woodlands
    Round Rock
    Keller
    Westlake
     
    BOA San Antonio has always been a bloodbath, especially in the last five or six years. Good luck to all the bands competing. Just remember to have fun. I feel like it's getting harder and harder to do that. 

    If Rouse and Leander are being considered as locks, I'd definitely put Woodlands and Cedar Ridge up there.

    Heartbroken. Entirely forgot to include Coppell in my predictions. 😔

    I'm sorry, but I cannot see Seven Lakes or Pearland beating any Austin area band this year. Pearland got lucky in 2019 in beating out Cedar Ridge and Westwood. That certainly won't happen again. 

    Cedar Ridge, Round Rock and Westwood are just NOW PEAKING. This hasn't happened...ever. They are united and out for blood. I never in a million years would I have thought this would be possible. But you bet that RRISD having 3 bands at State this year has brought these three programs together.  

     

    That being said, CTJ tweaked their show at Area..and I FREAKING LOVED IT. It's the first time that I'd rank it higher than Reagan.

     

    Austin area bands rock.

    I'm so excited for a year where 3 RRISD bands are looking so strong coming into the end of the season! 

    And the Deep in the Heart of Texas bit CTJ added is gonna be great in Indy!

    Full results with points

    1. Claudia Taylor Johnson - 10

    2. Ronald Reagan - 14

    3. Cedar Ridge - 15

    4. Round Rock - 18

    5. Westwood - 22

    6. Hays - 33

    7. Smithson Valley - 39

    8. Churchill - 40

    9. McNeil - 42

    10. New Braunfels - 43

     

    Some really interesting stuff in the recap, like Reagan getting 4th across the board in music, but 1st in Visual. There also seems to be a music judge that wasn't a fan of Cedar Ridge's execution in prelims and finals, but another judge had them in first. Not as all over the place as some UIL results tend to be, but still interesting.
