Tailgate88 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Cy-Fair I thought got off to a little bit of a rough start but then it just cleaned up and they nailed the rest of the show. Looking forward to watching that one again. That Pearland show blew me away. Sounds incredible and those uniforms....WOW. Incredible visual. I can't believe Bridgeland has only been around since 2017. There are some superstar bands coming up but the first half of this has been VERY satisfying.

LostChoirGuy Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Was this not Cy Fair's last performance of the season? I was very impressed with Pearland and Keller. Good signs for those bands as their season still has another week and a half. Every band in the first half of finals today showed why they deserved to be there! So happy to see these Cy Fair schools finally break in to finals. AWF2014 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm old school for that opinion. I think it's necessary in some drum corps due to way the visual package has evolved -- much more demanding choreo -- but I don't think a single high school has a choreo program that requires no headgear. here at bridgeland we decided to experiment w/ no shakos because they could look a little clunky with the show theme if i remember correctly. we talked ab it early in the season so take that with a grain of salt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washedupalum2017 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Individual marching technique at Vandegrift is incredible. These kids move with such confidence and grace. Especially moving at what, 170 bpm? Faster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldFan Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Afternoon sessions with NFHS broadcast have been video jumpy for me, audio is fine. Morning and evening sessions were fine - both today and yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washedupalum2017 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 WOW that flute soloist! Hopped up on the stage and rammed a billion notes in about 15 seconds & sounded flawless doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepySeal Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Seeing Vandegrift in person was a dream. They’re all such individually great marchers. But I can see what some of you all mean. It’s different in person. It feels something is missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave609 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Vandegrift HS- AMAZING Performance! The music is truly beautiful, and I really think that they could win the music side with the judges! Idk why though, but I feel that the visuals is what's going to get them. Overall, amazing performance from the reigning state champion and I hope it reflects in the placements! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BandFan50 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 I feel like it's the lack of props and GE in general, yes they are performing at an extremely high level but it's like a dinner without the main course or the very least dessert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DallasFan Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Where does the Woodlands get these crazy trombone soloist every year?!? Side note, I fully expect to see some variation of these props in Bluecoat's show next year. AWF2014 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
