I know Fossil Ridge won and took best music but that's all I could find

M&G FREAKING JOHNSON!!! They’re on track for making state, possibly state finals and I’d be surprised if no SASR finals, WOW! Congrats to Vandy on the win and VR for keeping it close, as well as everyone who competed today!!

Anyone got results…curious to see how my Alma mater did lol

Just got home and cleaned up. Congratulations to Marcus, no surprise there. Will post thoughts of everything tomorrow, congratulations to everyone who competed today!

Results?.

Coppell was amazing! Did seem a little lack of energy towards the end but still pushed through….though I think Wakeland took them tonight. That drum feature with the two basses on the tenors, so clean and cool. Opening hit was so big, and while it’s not my favorite show for them they are still so so good. Amazing job Coppell!

Anyways regardless of what happened during BCs show let just hope it all get sorted out but let’s not start a war lol Also, wow prosper!!! They do seem a little tired and some visual things that aren’t normally there by this time but musically wall of sound. Solos and duets are so mature, that percussion brought the heat and they just have such a large presence. Again visually lots of GE in the drill and they do a great job with the two sides of conflict throughout. Maybe they’re get taken off for not having the drill done at the end? Either way another year with a great shot at state, amazing job Prosper!!

I think u right, LS doesn’t have a horn solo if I recall yeah it was them, guess it was just that loud from their warmup zone. At least it sounds like the horn soloists from the beginnign

* edit to prelims post, this is my favorite Wakeland show since 2019. Wakeland wants 2nd, and they might have just earned it. Literally shook the stadium. Like they just year after year are at the top while also getting better. I feel like this show has some emotional meaning to them or some bc they display the fractured character so well, especially the Bugle solo, she was phenomenal. I see top 3 at state and possibly finals at San Antonio, just a phenomenal job Wakeland

Was that what that horn was during golden hour….i hope not bc that’s a bad look

Amazing job Wylie. Had a couple people come n early but they recovered so well and the rest after the big hit on. I think the biggest thing I missed in prelims is really just how much musical GE there is. They play all these different genres like they’re supposed to be play with different style, articulation, Ect. again Sax solo in the ballad was unreal, just so so So freaking good. And weapons line, wow, great recovery by the male performer recovering that saber. I hope they don’t get docked to much but regardless fantastic job TWB!!

God I wish I got to see Lone Star live again bc it’s once again my favorite show of the season, at least for now. I hope they break into top 5 tonight bc that was just phenomenal. No words, just perfection except like a couple minor things in high brass. Ty for that experience, I hope they continue to move up

Great run Ben10!! Brass opening was a little loser tonight but still really solid, super strong and controlled opening hit. Perc is just insane throughout, like even when the band is playing FF u hear them. Guard has some great moments as well. Visually strong, lots of great body work to add some GE, great job BC!!

Oop 💀

Amazing showing Braswell!! They have come such a long way since Covid and before, and it’s great to see them shining!! Love their use of caves, ballad is so powerful, soloists and small ensembles strong all around. Visually some great moments as well. It’s definitely a different style from last year but they are still so strong, amazing job Braswell

Way to through down Rockwall!! that ballad solo is tough af!!! Great presence in sound, and visually so so tight like wow. Drill is just so clean, they are really digging into the nitty gritty. Literally again my only critique is they need to work more on not losing quality of tone and precision when moving bc it’s quite noticeable against when they stand still and play. But regardless and fantastic performance, would be a crowd favorite at San Antonio if they make it, fantastic job Rockwall!!

Not super surprised with how inconsistent all around Lovejoy has been. Some really strong and really weak areas, not a little of in between

McKinney-3 words: wall of sound Brass is just so so loud. It’s very clean for the most part, sometimes gets a little inconsistent from a couple members losing tone but yeah they are insane. Mellos, we hear you. Percussion, we also hear you. Guard is amazing.‘visually awesome, happy the recovered the girls hat that got caught in the white ribbon which is think is awesome. They will be at state soon, amazing job RPB

LT brining the heat for their first boa finals performance!!! They are just so clean for this time of the season, could honestly finish top half or close at state. Visually so strong, those feet are up and u see it. Soloists sound so professional, Drumline is the best it’s probably ever been and they just sound so clean. I love this show a lot and they are gonna kill it in UIL, great job Lebanon Trail!

Wow, Forney came out starting finals with a bang!!! Again that opener is just so loud and the gliss leading into it is perfect. Brass and WW features were pretty tight, mello line has insane presence. Visually much stronger than this afternoon, and when they have that performer do the backflips right into the hit gave me chills, outstanding job Forney

Hahaha. 😂 im really happy they made finals, really want them to finally go back to state and I’m feeling this is their year, especially after seeing Birdville results

Indy will make finals assuming a good run, Emerson is a maybe

I got 11/12 finalist and most class placements right now finals, no clue, especially bottom half, top should be kinda easier? But after having Wylie in 8th snd then they got 3rd….but hopefully I can at least get half knowing how prelims went

Results?
