Bridgeland is breathtakingly good this year, it's magical to see how far they've come in so little time. goosebumps galore!!! gorgeous vis program, amazing guard, great heartfelt music. way to go!!!

Brazoswood's show is totally delightful too!!! this is my first time seeing it. so much character!! i actually really like how theatrical band has gotten, well i guess it has always been a little theatrical, but def on a different level today.

yeaaaaah we kinda got off track. back to the bands! i wish i played flute as well as the soloists in 7L, Dawson, and Friendswood!!! they're so good and im an amateur!!!

but hey at least i know "you're" from "your" right? back to TikTok, Aiden!!!

im kinda wondering what ctj's designers are thinking right now. i was chattin about this w/ my mom. i feel like if i were in their shoes id feel like damned if you do, damned of you don't kinda thing, cause ppl are always complaining, oh they do too much w/ their show design, everything and the kitchen sink, blah blah blah, but then they come out w/ a more stripped down back to basics-ish show like this one, and then ppl are like, meh it's boring, what happened to ctj!! lol like what are you supposed to do?? guess there's an in between there somewhere.

sorry im just a filter-less child w/ an iq too high to be accurately measured!!! it's a strange place to exist... i won't continue!

forgot to mention Tomball Memorial, looooved their show!!! my fave concept for sure, the price is right. that was Saucedo music right? def sounded like it at the beginning. the betting on the R13 clarinet was hilarious. also wanna point out that Pearland held onto that top 3 placement despite a relatively crappy performance time, makes ya wonder if they could even move up in finals... def an emotional show w/ the new moon/old moon stuff.

hopefully the wind is better tonight so that the guards aren't struggling as much or have to pull their tosses. but will there be a judge in khakis for me to ogle tonight... hmmm.... that's the real question.... outstanding general effect goes to... prelims individual music judge!!!

i don't think FloMo was safe at all!! lots of demand. unless you're referring to concept or something.

just got back home, didn't wanna sit around for hours waiting for finals to start. horribly sunburned on my legs and arms too. these results are so much yaaaassss!! Pearland in top 3, um, YES! that's how i would have had it but i didn't think it would happen. Bridgeland in top half, another yaaaassss!!! i think they're a real threat for San Antonio finals. woodlands winning both perf captions, i wouldn't have thought that going in, besides maybe vis, but coming out of the contest i understand it. i thought they were prob gonna have to coast on effect via their show design, which is amazing this yr, what they have at least. Reagan def has the more complete show right now, that ending with all the flags makes a huge statement, whereas twhs just stands there and barks. so GE going to Reagan, can see that too for now. F-wood was one of my faves again. looks like they won their class thru visual entirely. super cute show, love the set design and costumes, just the whole look.

Markissss!!!! i didn't see them but they must have been totally fab to have beaten FloMo, who i woulda had over Hebron.

for me it's def Flower Mound that has the whole package rn. great show from them. Hebron was of course outstanding too. loaded w/ impressive technical passages, wonderful quality of sound. but sometimes i caught myself wondering what all the notes added up to. vis program also still a weak link imo. still better than like 99.999% of bands tho.

sorry i hauled a** after Reagan. they were excellent!! id have it bw them and twhs, which prob means it'll be a ctj sweep lol. hoping to see both Pearland and B-land in top half!!!

CTJ was solid!! was expecting maybe something a liiittle more flamboyant. i think the preshow was the best part!! 7L had a beautiful show!! maybe some improvement here?

Bridgeland was stunning!!! goosebumps. standing O from me! could kinda tell from the vis, but the music pulls it all together. great overall effect.

i think Pearland is gonna be up there, didn't think they were thaaaat far off twhs. twhs has a show with major major potential, not sure if the perf will be enough to come out on top today but it was better than i expected. just some wonky woodwind ensemble mics and timing issues.

twhs was great!! guard pulled most of their tosses alas but understandable. windy.

wind is pretty bad rn lol. im chilly! wtf

the announcer here is great!! and the onfield music judge is kinda a snack!! ok, back to the bands...

Pearland w/ my first non-forced standing ovation of the day lol. stunning performance, maybe top 3 here. id like it eeeeven more if it didn't look like every other Cartwright show known to man, but still very effective. first of two of Lawrence Central's GN champ music we'll hear today lol.

ctj from their game tonight, only did the first two movements. it's very... pink!!! lol. bird sounds after the opener are amusing, music in 2nd part is super fun, very, like, effervescent. can't tell what the tarp is, prob some sort of flamingo. https://fan.hudl.com/usa/texas/san-antonio/organization/7976/johnson-high-school

ugh they moved Reagan later, dammit. i kinda wanted to see them side by side w/ Bridgeland and wanted to leave after CTJ, if i end up going. vast majority of your finalists here are gonna come from that Pearland through Reagan middle section.

i don't think they've started at the actual beginning of their show at a football game in several weeks. looking forward to finally hearing it. really like what i see.

there's a post-rehearsal parent exhibition performance vid from yesterday from upstairs w/o muffled audio. but it's..... hidden. lol.

nope!! and there won't be either. y'all can wait 2 whole days and form your own opinion. forget to mention, about 7 mins 30 secs on the field w/ a bit of a park and bark w/ no visual at the end. prob not their complete show.
