LoneStarSuperFan

at least I'm not the crazy one lol

I would like to take a moment and agree with this post. Due to recent disagreement I decided to take a backseat for a while and watch what people had to say. And I was surprised on how some people tried to hold onto pride rather than accepting that maybe the judging was very surprising compared to earlier season sucess. Just because of that it does not mean it's okay to detract from any students performance or efforts throughout the season. Even though a ton of students were crushed, they still congratulated others because they know the work and dedication it takes to be there. Lonestar is still Lonestar and results do not define a band program. They continued to stay strong and support others and that's what true character is. Congratulations to everyone including the preliminary contestants it is truly increasing the level at which you all perform at.

Great job Keller Central!! (I'm all out of observations for today lol)

Oh yeah mellos!

Walnut Grove: Building backfield. Turn around to the front hit, not overpowering, control is evident. Nice trumpet brassy eco. Strong brass moments are very present in the show. Woodwinds have their moments and sound controlled. Nice job flutes! Good brass build through the balled hit. Most of the marching is clean. Interesting saxophone technique nice eco effect! Technique is clear across the ensemble and nice mello rip! Good ending effect nice job!

Walnut Grove: Woopsie aughhh im tried let me rest in peace!

Waller: Good opening hit! Woodwind technique strong. Good passing between the brass sections. Some sets still need a bit of polishing. I liked the softer pit section, followed by a softer woodwind undertone. Nice job horn! Followed by euphonium, good flow to the both of them! Good job Waller band!

Man bro I fell asleep and someone said I was clapping in my sleep lol 😆

North Mesquite: I'm a stickler for ripples. Nice job tuba. I like the flow throughout the ensemble. Woodwind feature showed is nice technique I liked the bouncing between the brass sections. Flute was good! Equal brass sounds. It has. Alor of softer undertones and that makes us appealing. Good shaping.

Liberty: Very zen. I feel like the wind is going to continue to cause problems for props. I think they had a very alternates sit in front of them 😅. I like how the flower opens up. Preformed well musically. The vocal addition was cool. Poor alternates fighting the wind.

Braswell: Amazing opening statement from the trombone and trumpet! Fun pre-show. Nice saxophones! I live for the visual movements and the feel of the show. Nice trumpet/mello moment. Beautiful flute solo! Okay, trombones! Very flowy last hit nicely done!

Wakeland: Nice pre-shown into the opening hit I love the mello lines really adds some color! Their shows the really know how to showcase each section. Very clean! Powerful mature sounds. Nice job sax! Oh yeah, euphonium and horn. Clean technique throughout the ensemble. A visually pleasing show! Great job Wakeland!

Grapevine The use of more pop songs is interesting. I like the integration of the bike. Cleaning still has a few spots needing to be worked on. A few phasing moments. Tuning becomes more and more crucial as the day goes on. I like the show, and good job Grapevine!

McKinney North: Yet another jazz themed show! Oh yeah! I'm digging it, nice tap dancing. And dancing overall from the brass quintet! I love their vocalist! Wow. BRASS yeahhh! I love how fun the show is. But there is still cleaning to be done. But the energy is amazing!

Rock Hill: I love their musical selection! Nicely done flutes! Nice brass eco! A few sabor drops. The show has a nice flow to it. Let's go brass!! Overall very nicely done! A bit of improvement from last weekend.
