Popular Post packwick Posted April 11 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 11 see id be a lot more impressed by Paramount's breadth of talent, full ensemble 7s, if they didn't have their pick of the litter during the audition process lol. one of those things that's more impressive to me on the scholastic side bc that talent is built from the ground up. obvi extremely talented performers, still don't dig the design.

Popular Post Rubisco Posted April 12 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted April 12 Team Texas seems to be off to a great start! Azle with the highest score for the entire Cintas Center Scholastic A panel and 3rd highest score overall. Grand Oaks with the 5th highest score at Truist Arena and 8th highest overall. Lots of close scores, so it will be interesting to see what happens in more direct comparisons, but it seems like Texas could medal in SA this year. Hays and Wiley also looking like possible finalists. In Scholastic Open, Marcus in 2nd, Westlake in 4th. Absolutely fantastic! And they were all judged on the same panel, too. Hopefully at least one of them medals! Bowie also looking like a likely finalist. Clear Brook shouldn't be too far off, either. In Scholastic World, I'm a little bummed that FloMo didn't make it to semis, but this is honestly one of the strongest SW cohorts ever, if not the strongest. Case in point: Carmel, last year's champion, in 7th (!). Skills are improving fast on the scholastic scene. But yeah, FloMo can hold their heads up high. Obviously, congrats to TWHS in 3rd. Hopefully they can keep that placement or even improve on it. But yeah, I mean, strong medalist contenders in all 3 scholastic classes. Way to go! On the Independent side, Origins in 7th, Mirage in 8th -- neck and neck again. That's fantastic! Origins A looking like a strong finalist contender as well. In Open, Menage in 3rd, Glory in 5th, so another couple medal contenders! I can't wait to see some of it starting tomorrow!

Super happy for everyone who made semis, and for those that didn’t, thanks for an incredible season!! Azle was 🔥 today, should hopefully take a meal. SO is SUPER close at the top, it’s honestly anyone’s game. As far as TW’s, I don’t seem the dropping and think their score and hopefully placements will improve. I haven’t checked the schedule but hopefully can watch a good amount tomorrow! TWHSPercDad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packwick Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 3 very exposed drops from tw, two of them the same as prelims (buckling under pressure a bit?), but overall a stronger run! trying to keep in mind they toss 600 times in this show LOL.

I think any slight issues they may be having are certainly influenced by nerves. First of all, it's Dayton. Second of all, this is the first time the entire season they've competed against anyone. They've essentially been giving (judged) exhibition performances the whole season. So, it's like smooth sailing until the world championships as far as nerves go.

I believe Carmel had a not so good run yesterday hence why they were sitting in 7th after Prelims. Heard they were much much better today.

Tubalord11 Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 TW’s still in 3rd and up in score by a couple points!! I might have slept through my alarms for SW, but they seem to be holding their ground, hoping for a no-drop run tomorrow night! And Azle/Grand Oaks still looking strong as well!

Popular Post packwick Posted April 12 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 12 ok good, Carmel up to 5th, 3 points ahead of WC in 9th. a little twilight zone-ish before. tw still in 3rd, 1.1 pts off 2nd, 1.2 pts ahead of tarpon. 3rd's prob where they'll end up in finals, which is fab. wasn't even expecting them to show up at Dayton this yr so it's a pleasant surprise. really a treat. cool to see them develop into a consistent medalist quality group. guard is finally as strong or stronger than the band!!! Lol. think they already very obviously have the talent for gold. designers (designer?) just need to figure out how to frame that talent in a gold medal worthy way. not to say the staging/choreo this year is weak by any stretch of the imagination, it's quite fantastic, esp considering it mostly comes from one person. but once u get to the tippy top of the world class u gotta deal w/ those legendary design teams. breadth of talent and lots of tosses won't get u gold. which really that prob SHOULD be more of a consideration on the sheets, difficulty/risk and whatnot, bc it rewards the actual performers a bit more, but alas it is not, not explicitly anyway lol. variety range and depth do provide a particular challenge of their own.

Honestly, from a breadth of talent perspective, TWHS is the most impressive scholastic guard I've ever seen. And I think it's quite obvious, too. More than any other guard, watching them is like watching a strong IW finalist, because of those insane numbers combined with the difficulty. But I agree that there's room for growth in figuring out what WGI wants. 😂 Tubalord11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 Went back to watch Carmel-Avon, TW’s were much cleaner as everyone had been saying, 1st time seeing Tarpon and there’s just so much going on, some times a bit to much, Carmel was much better, LOVE Arcadia, and Avon was just Avon Rubisco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubisco Posted April 12 Author Report Share Posted April 12 Texas Scholastic As posting outstanding scores! Slipping in the rankings a little bit, but the top two at least should be good for finals. The SA class is definitely one of those classes where the competition ain't over until after finals, because of the relative closeness of the units in terms of both skill and design. I'm looking forward to watching Scholastic A finals tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packwick Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 Origins had an absolutely amazing run in semis, such a friggin hard show, the phrases are so dense and quick, just imagining myself trying these combinations across the floor is making me anxious lol. if im judging DA they move up over Juxta. the only big risk for them scorewise is the relative lack of variety in the mood and overall effect but it does fit the theme.
