McKinney HS-Poured Lines:

Ummmm McKinney, HELLO?!?!? My goodness that brass is Insane!! So loud but so controlled and super mature sounds, I was not ready for that opening hit!!! Guard was just so good, no surprise considering their WGI success, front and center, and they are killing it! Flugelhorn soloist, I could listen to you for days, such pretty sounds. Great stuff from the Trombones throughout with the couple of jam sessions, and that percussion, so clean. So much GE throughout with the painted tarps the roll out during the ballad, and visually super solid, really cool body work throughout. Very high finalist potential, they did not come to play like my goodness, amazing performance McKinney!! Watch out area J

The first knocked over the paint splash, the other tripped over but amazingly kept on their feet. These kids are awesome and don’t skip a beat!

Mckinney Boyd!!!!

Loved the visuals and sound. Especially the circular formations. Great small groups, I’ll say it again, the one judge is making me wish I had adhd med today. Come on bro 😎 

Really enjoyed your guard too! 
 

Great job

Great job

I thought they were great but the Boyd people around me seem disappointed…did I miss something or are they being critical parents??? Confused 🤔

I just barely got there in time to see prosper and Lonestar!

Prosper: I loved the integration of the cubes. I feel like it's challenging to look smooth while marching with a box and directly correlated with another marcher. Nice solos at the beginning leading is into that open hit. They had a great G.E and looked very clean! Outstanding oboe soloist! 

Lonestar: already so much improvement from last week. They even added some new visuals! However a few people were off on them, at least we're I was looking at. Powerful opening hit once again, it almost gets louder every time. Dark, rich trombone choir, it always seems to bring people to tears. Way cleaner Lonestar, I can't wait to see you guys under the stadium lights.

Lone stars performance was great and if they keep improving the ballad they could have the best ballad In the entire state. Also the brass sounded great today. Additional I believe that they have the potential to make 9th or 10th overall earning them a spot in finals.

There is one more set that still has not been added to the show, and I think some of us Boyd parents are a little bummed we still don’t have our full show yet. We will be ready for UIL next week!

[Tubalord11]

McKinney Boyd- Awakening:

Great stuff from the Flugelhorn soloists and WW’s going into the opening hit! Wow, such mature ensemble sounds, great stuff y’all! Super cool drill with the rotating circle with that guard soloists who killed it. Great showcasing of the different sections. Lovely work from the soloists in the ballad, such flowing sounds. Visually pretty clean, some minor things but still really impressive.  Only up to their ballad today but still wonderful stuff, great job Bronco band!!

[LoneStarSuperFan]

McKinney HS: Jesus!! Smacked us out of our seats with that brass sound! Super, super controlled! Visual affect is very appealing! That flugel horn solo? Oh my gosh, simply outstanding... They did not come to play

Mustang HS-Surely you Jest:

OH. MY. GOSH

Mustang just blew us away, holy cow!!! Love the pre show drill, super entertaining. Amazing sounds, super mature, well blended and just rich. Visually, they are insane. SO MUCH individual demand with a high amount of body work and some super challenging drill that they make look easy. I mean wow wow wow!!! Soloists were incredible all around, that ballad was just beautiful, amazing presence brass. Guard was also great, but this show is just loaded with GE, felt like I was watching a Nats finalist band. We will be seeing you tonight Mustang, fantastic performance!!!

Literally 

[JFNDOWBFAN]

How you decide between any of these bands is beyond me. Geesh

[Tubalord11]

Southlake Carroll-Aquarium:

Great stuff SLC!! Much improved from Bedford! Those WW’s are killing those licks going into the opening brass hit which is super powerful. Plenty of visual ge throughout the second movement, some demanding stuff for sure. Beautiful sounds from that Flugelhorn horn soloist, really pretty work. Percussion feature was clean, great presence from them. Really fun show with so many details, and they are executing well, great job Dragon band!! 

[TrenBS]

This is my current ranking, Mustang had a ton of foot errors from my POV which is why I have them lower, Im also not a judge so they could have bonkers GE haha

I am watching on Box5 TV, so take it for what it is worth, but I thought the brass sounded weaker compared to Bedford. Otherwise, agreed, a much improved show.

Azle HS- between the keys:

Great stuff Azle! Super solid sounds from the front ensemble going into the opening hit! They are brining that sound. I love so much how they are going between pieces in the second movement, brining music GE and the theme alive. Lovely sounds from the Clarinet soloist in the ballad. Their guard has built off their WGI season and shining bright. Solid showing all around, end still needs some cleaning, but still an amazing performance from Azle!
