Results can be found here: https://smbc.uiltexas.org/ Rivercrest just got past Clarksville by one. Interestingly, if had been ranked one spot higher by either visual judge, Clarksville would have won the tiebreak. So close. Speaks to just how competitive this field was tonight.

Congratulations to everyone who performed today! And congrats to Rivercrest!

Here come the bands! Played onto the field by the Angelo State drumline.

Outstanding performance, Clarksville! Visually the best group to perform tonight in finals. Love the drum break as well. Also a big fan of "Fly to Paradise" at the end. Definitely in the running for gold. Congrats on a great season, y'all!

Awesome performance tonight, Panhandle! Love the harmonica solo in the ballad! Great sound throughout the program. Congrats on a great season, y'all!

Great job, Rivercrest! Absolutely love the arrangements of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "How Far I'll Go". And that ending is so very well done. Maybe, just maybe, we'll have a surprise for the top spot. Congrats on an amazing season, y'all!

Awesome performance tonight, Sundown! That was a lovely show, and y'all looked like y'all had fun performing it. Congrats to you all for a great season!

Agreed. I love how much that really opens up the front of the field for these smaller groups.

Outstanding performance, Tenaha! Lovely solos in the ballad and really a great sound from y'all. Really enjoyed your show this evening. Congrats to y'all on a great season!

Awesome run tonight, Valley Mills! Wonderful show that y'all are performing the heck out of. Congrats on a great season, y'all! Also, I've got to say that I loved the "Salvation is Created" warm up.

Great job, Shiner! That's a really fun theme, and y'all perform the heck out of it. Congrats on a great season!

All right 2A Finalists, what do you got for us tonight? Good luck to you all!

Here come the bands!

I'm not even going to try to predict results. Between how amazing every group was today and the general weirdness of the UIL system, it's way too hard to predict these things. But congrats to everyone who performed today! Y'all were awesome!

It's not the contest organizers. It's bands with shows that are more than 8 minutes starting early. UIL rules clearly say that the band announcement will start with 45 seconds left on the 5 minute clock. Should the UIL redo some of it's timing rules? Maybe. But that's an offseason discussion.

The award for most comfortable uniform goes to Hale Center. Great show, y'all!

Looping back to Clarksville, loved their show this morning. I'm a sucker for "Fly to Paradise", and they did fantastic.
