Sideswiperr

I agree, Im a bigger fan of this than last years sound, last year was quite harsh IMO, this year it just flows so much easier!!

Nice SFA!! Now it’s time….

College Park well done!

Wow, Foster blew my hat off(not literally). But that’s a lock for a second performance.

It’s probably more apparent from your end in person, but I’ve heard many of the issues from plenty of the bands today, I’ve only gone as far as too who I think will make finals, however, the competition isn’t quite over yet so were just kinda working with what we’ve got.

Good Friendswood!! I think my finals predictions is getting a bit too big, we’re gonna have to move some out 😂

Tomball memorial, fantastic, still loved the show from last year a tinsy bit more but they always have such an engaging show. Well done.

My predictions of the finalists I think we will have, this is based on who’s performed so far! Klein Oak Clear Brook North Shore Tompkins The Woodlands Dawson Churchill Fulshear Jordan

Churchill Fulshear, was incredible. I did NOT expect that, I think they will get another performance tonight.

Churchill fulshear, I’m liking the visual content we’ve got so far on the field, very engaging to the eye IMO

Same here!

Great visual things happening all across the field, IMO drill is fairly well executed.

Well done Dawson!

Elkins high solid job, some really good improvement in that program from last year, hope to see them in Area E finals!

I’m with you on that, don’t get me wrong great performance, but it’s really as impressive as usual? Interested on cy-fairs show.

I’ve seen that before but it just…”WOW” wow factor to be honest. That hit just always catches me off guard. if I’m a judge I would have been sitting there googly eyed like “huh” Tompkins has joined the ranks for my 12 finalist lists.

Very nice college station, that program has improved quite a bit, really mature horn sounds coming from the Mellos, beautiful. Great performance! Give it a few years and I think they’ll be a strong program to look out for.

Nice job from Magnolia! Really cool stuff going on over there!

Fun fact, they’ve got a director from cinco Ranch!

I really hope you enjoy this experience, cherish these memories, they are ones you’ll never forget.

I genuinely just want to read an entire list of like, comments about your thoughts on bands 😂, it’s always so interesting lol

The opening hit caught me off guard, my was that fantastic!

Langham creek?!?! Didn’t expect that lol!

Think of BOA top 6/bottom 6, there’s random draw of course, but each finalist in each group draws for each time in either the lower half, or the top half. Same thing for area finals but the bands will know when they perform, and they’ll know if they got top or bottom half. So for example, Bridgeland is going to be top half.

So this year, no more of “if we hear another band at 8:30, instead of our name, we didn’t make finals”, it would suck to know you didn’t make finals before finals results were even over, whereas with this you’ll know if you made finals and whether you’re in the bottom/top half of prelims, or you’ll get a pleasant surprise if you aren’t the first five bands to perform, but instead the last 5(top five), looking at you Jordan! But you get the point.
