Yeah, ofc! I'll post results from both round and finals schedule assuming they announce it when announcing finalists

Can’t wait to be here in person, prelims and finals

Yeah I’d agree, at least who you have in finals. Maybe D-ville will be a little higher? It’s so hard to tell bc of how wacky their season has been but that’s probably what finals will or will be very close to looking like

Do you know how all the 5As from region 25 did?

And also LD Bell first place in 4A!! PESH and JET top half! Lots of bands really stepping up their game!!

So as y’all can we I’m not there for finals lol. Bc of the rain we didn’t leave Fort Worth until like 5:30 from multiple lightning delays. I might watch some or the rest of finals on box. Congrats to all the finalist, now East, Hendrickson or McNeil is kinda shocking but that just shows how competitive and deep the talent is in Tx marching band!!

Good luck to all the bands competing today and special shout out to Moe and Gene!!!

yeah that’s probably my favorite show we’ve done and we’ve done some really great ones

Yah!

I concur

Yeah, I could see all 3 to the top soon. Making finals though, I think still a few years assuming no fall off. Again they are all amazing programs, but with how good the top 15 is getting here, they would need to have an insane season, but I do see them growing in the ranks in the coming years

We should be back in Waco around 5 so I’ll be at finals assuming this happens!

I haven't seen Cedar Ridge from TMC, last viewing was Austin but if Westlake stays ahead, they probably take all or visual and GE and music goes to CR. If CR is much improved and wins, I'd say they take all or Westlake takes visual and CR takes the other 2

I’m really sorry about this….im praying everything will be okay

Probably bc they’re also going to grand nats, sometimes bands will skip to save $, and some just don’t go every year even w/o grand nats on their schedule

My guess after yesterday: 1. Wakeland 2. Lone Star (could take 1st) 3. Lebanon Trail 4. Argyle/Reedy 5. Reedy/Argyle 6. Walnut Grove 7. Mckinney North 8. Independence 9. Heritage 10. Liberty/Emerson/The Colony TC could be higher after seeing they got 4th and Birdville yesterday.

Okay so I was very wrong about Sachse...I'm sorry for doubting. Here's my guess after yesterday: 1. Waxahachie 2-4 in any order: Forney, Rockwall, Sachse 5. Heath 6. Lake Highlands/Berkner 7. Berkner/LH 8. Duncanville 9. North Forney 10. Richardson?

Wow, Johnson was locked in for finals!

Also, as far as Marcu's final's run, it was honestly life changing. I didn't get to see above the noise live, so this was easily my best life experience of from them since seeing The Missig Piece. The intro with the multiple soloists playing into that opening hit sets such a mysterious vibe and then it's just the sound of heaven. Percussion, unreal. I had seen the feature from their HEB perc comp run but seeing it live was a different experience. And then the ballad...was having to hold back tears during finals. They just continue year-after year to produce some of the best sounding ensembles with full emotional effect. It's going to be a monster of a show come grand-nats, they are definitely in the hunt for that music caption.

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was great, every band gave it their all and it showed. As far as finals scores/placements, I had most of what happened except I had BC way to low lol, not surprised they got 8th go, top half was what I had. I think my biggest shock from prelims recap was North in 20th. I personally think that while they absolutely kill the jazz-styled show, I feel like they need to change from it and try something new. The students are absolutely executing the heck of the shows, but I just don't think, maybe just for BOA but could be for UIL, that style of show is going to keep them at the top. Ofc I could be completely wrong, but that's just my two cents. This happened last year at this comp where they missed finals, and they made it to state finals. But when you have that many visuals to clean and make sure everyone is perfect, not a ton of variety in style and dynamics and a good chunk of the show being solos/small ensembles features...idk, I just feel something needs to change. Again, this is nothing on the kids as everyone was jamming out and very entertained, which may just be what they are going for. As far as SLC, it happens, especially in this competitive environment. I don't necessarily agree as I thought the GE was there, but I still think they're in a great shot to make state and semis and grand nats. Everything else seems about right, not super far off from what I had. Everyone brought the heat, and I think bands like Heath, WG and Reedy should be happy with how yesterday turned out, all should do very well at their respective areas. Again, congrats to everyone who competed yesterday, it was a great day of band, and I can't wait to do it again next year!
