  1. Cedar Ridge! It’s going to be a close year. We won’t have a direct Cedar Ridge v Vandegrift matchup until BOA San Antonio so it’s going to be a very fun rollercoaster until then that’s for sure!
  2. I love Leander, but I did see this coming. That run really wasn’t amazing, a lot of park and bark and the show doesn’t have the flow to garner much GE favor. I am concerned. I trust they’ll improve, but when I saw that performance it really did worry me.
  3. I am feeling Vandegrift (All Captions) Cedar Ridge Round Rock Cedar Park Rouse Westlake Vista Ridge James Bowie Hendrickson Lake Travis Leander Westwood
  4. Rough draw for Weiss! They’re definitely finalist caliber as we all know, but we’ve lost more than a few bands to that early morning draw before. Hoping they set the tone and make it in.
  5. With my full respect to Cedar Ridge, I don’t think there show is quite there yet as someone who’s seen it live. I just can’t see the GE judges rewarding much of what they have on the field at the moment, that will of course change later in the season I believe.
  6. She’s definitely the person to go to for powerful in-your-face GE moments. I don’t think anyone writes them like her.
  7. It is nice to see CTJ go “back to basics” which is what I originally thought Opposites Attract would be (and boy was I wrong). I think this is a really good show to refocus on the basics while still maintaining a lot of strong GE moments by virtue of being straightforward and clean. It’s rare we get a post from the man himself and it’s always great to see. We’ll miss them in Austin but they’re going to do great at Katy.
  8. Now I may be biased because I’ve only seen 4 or 5 bands this year but Vista Ridge really surprised me. I think they truly have the potential to break into the top. It’s not the cleanest and may lag behind at Austin but I really think it’ll catch up later on in the season and it’s my best belief that a top 3 at both UIL and San Antonio is possible.
  9. I imagine The Woodlands is in a very similar position to Marcus in 2018, while they may not place as high as usual they’re definitely going to bounce back eventually
  10. I think Vandy will always have BOA Austin locked and loaded but I don’t think that means Vandy will be on top of Vista at the end of the season…take that as you will. I’ve gotten the rare privilege to see a little bit of every show coming out of Leander ISD except Tom Glenn, some more than others. They’re all coming together really nicely. You can’t forget bands like Keller and Cedar Ridge who are going to be coming in hot with their 2023 productionsA lot of bands next season are looking to step it up to that next level. I mention them both because I’ve heard them and they sound amazing.
  11. https://www.instagram.com/reel/ChQoAJBDdj6/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Spotted a glimpse at Rouses props. Looks great.
  12. I think they’ve proven themselves enough in the last few years to be considered a little above a wildcard respectfully.
  13. This really is Austin 2.0 now that we’ve got Vista Ridge and Round Rock. All we’re missing is Westlake. What a competition. It’s an event nobody can miss, especially now that it’s streamed.
  14. I hardly think the situations that dire for HP. I’d comfortably have them comfortably below Timber Creek but above Duncanville, Haltom, Martin and Keller Central, director changes and all. I’m not sure if Prosper is in this area but I can’t imagine they’ll miss state if they are. Peel back one of Wax or SLC to make it in.
  15. It is true. I don’t know why or what changed however.
  16. Moe and Gene Johnson High School will be going to Grand Nationals.
  17. Great show today so far in Austin! Any surprises out of the SA advancers? It looks like they’re on their website already?
  18. Interesting to note some things from marching season seemed to have bled into WGI. Vista Ridge with some high movement analysis scores coming from two seasons with very choreography heavy Vento shows despite tough placements in other captions. Friendswood once again with very high GE scores compared to other captions, like we saw on their UIL design sheets. Winston Churchill with some incredibly solid technical work in their fundamentals lagging in design and general effect, dragging their score down a little. Churchill has had these design issues for a couple of few years sadly. Just a few noticings.
  19. 7A on the band front would be interesting. A lot of the heavy hitters would move up. An interesting note would be how UIL would operate state contests. I imagine 7A would be hosted with the 2A, 3A, 5A rotation, however with needing added dates for the contest I’m not sure how UIL would go about securing the Alamodome for that slightly extended time.
  20. https://scorebooklive.com/texas/2021/07/28/how-the-introduction-of-class-7a-would-impact-the-texas-high-school-football-landscape/ some ideas into how 7A might pan out
  21. I sure hope whoever buys that table double checks on their bus rentals with time.
  22. I love Round Rock but they’re putting a lot of demand on their guard, I think they need to tone it back a bit. They’re trying their hardest but the pressure and demand is getting to them. It’s really difficult.
  23. Is this top half / bottom half draw? Asking because UIL confused me.
