What a great day of performances! Congratulations to all!!

We are seeing some wonderful performances today! Canton, Alvarado, Celina-very nice work!

Gatesville! Cool music, and loved that part of the drill with the diagonal moving through the block! Gorgeous ballad! Colorful, fun! Bravo!

So far I have to agree with the top 4 picks, (Canyon, Anna, Sulphur Springs, Lumberton) but perhaps the rest could mix up a little!

These 4A bands are bringing it today! Wow! Just saw Sulphur Springs and their performance was just incredible!

Congratulations to Rivercrest! Bravo! I so loved the emotion not only in the performance but the happiness when they broke ranks! Pure joy! And thanks to all the bands today-all winners at life!

Love that Panhandle show! Love the music and they performed the drill great, too. Kudos to the harmonica soloist!

Wow, all these bands are bringing it tonight! Glad I am not a judge! So many great skills being demonstrated by each band!

Shiner, Great way to start the evening session! Bravo!

What a crazy and wonderful day! Congratulations to all the bands, and especially Vandy on the championship! Texas bands are incredibly amazing!

Wow, Vista! That music is so incredibly clean and nuanced! Love it!

Glad I am not a judge. What a wonderful group of bands and creativity this morning! I enjoyed every one of these bands!

Panhandle! What a great show! Loved the soloists! Genius move to add harmonica!

Bangs! Nice articulation and energy! Well done.

Clarksville! Nice drill, good sound! Impressive!

Wow, picture just finally popped in clear! It had been fuzzy for us all morning. Now we can really enjoy!!

Has anyone else had streaming issues today? The picture seems to be at a much lower resolution than yesterday.

Anyone have recaps of prelims yet?

Done! It only takes a minute and may get results! Plus be sure to remind UIL that marching band contests are streamed by people nation-wide and will have heavy usage, therefore they need a specialized service to handle this!

Cypress Woods! Wow! Love the music and drill! What an entertaining and well-executed performance! So many great bands, I don’t envy the judges!

Loved the tuba feature in Lubbock-Cooper! Good arranging!

Rouse-what a beautiful show! Perfect combo of music and drill! So well executed!

Wow, Foster! What a cool show! First time I have seen this band!

Will awards be live on YouTube?

I personally love Vista Ridge’s new uniforms! Versatile in how they can be configured with the layering, and very distinctive. That said, the former black/red was good, too. I think both are very classy, just my personal preference is for the new look. Anyway, I think we can count on VR looking good, having amazing music, and future innovative shows- they just keep growing in every way. LISD continues to amaze with all their schools! Look at the growth in Rouse and Glenn also-both upcoming programs! And of course Vandy, Leander, Cedar Park, and Vista all being so successful-what a super culture in that district.
