Rock Hill- spectacular.  Unabashedly positive show and it’s great.  Love to see Thomas Bergersen’s American Dream album getting some love.  Fantastic performance!

Why not? I think they could win 3A if they came?

because it’s a long drive for a tough competition 🤷 would be a long day when they could see better results locally 

[Liam Allen]

Lone Star - ThatWasLoud.  Very nice balance in the trombone solo to the ensemble.  Solid ending.  Hard mello writing throughout executed at a high level.  Great performance!

[Liam Allen]

Aledo - What an opener!  Danger Zone throughout is great.  Can’t wait for Asphalt Cocktail to get put on the field.  Love the concept as well.  Great stuff and a great performance.

[Dallas Hobbs]

Keller’s sound is so clean like wow there’s in-tune and then there’s in-tune!

[Liam Allen]

Keller - incredible opening statement by Keller!  The organ has made an appearance!  Interesting use of silence throughout.  Great performance!

It wouldn’t be marching band without bold predictions 

[Liam Allen]

LD Bell - great job!  A few rough edges but good stuff.  Good luck on the rest of the season!

[Liam Allen]

Southlake Carroll - bubbles!  Great stuff with Yellow Submarine!  Excellent show!

OK. Someone has to say this... how did they end up in the bottom 6 for the finals? They have been great all day today!

The bottom 6 as a whole looks wrong. Some really good bands got a bad score. Inexplicable.

After BOA Austin I thought Vandegrift was going to go unchallenged protecting their San Antonio/ State title. I'm...not so sure about that now. Wow Hebron.

[Liam Allen]

Hebron - simply a religious experience.  Outstanding throughout.  A few nitpicky cleanliness things but good lord, the first part is incredible.  I had actual tears by the end of it.  Tremendous performance!

[BBone27]

Hebron: Very beautiful show like always. The trombone feature was nothing short of stupendous! Their bass trombone sound was delicious! The show felt like a lot of individual moments instead of one big show. Overall a great run of a great show!

[BBone27]

Waxahachie: Wow! Very unique show idea, and it was executed very well. The brass quintet was beautiful! Such great sound even facing backfield! Great control of dynamics and awesome sustain! It even got a bit jazzy! Good job Waxahachie!

[Liam Allen]

Waxahachie - impressive opening statement.  Excellent tenor sax playing(I am a sax player)!  Great sound throughout.  The quartet moment was insane!!!!!  Power at the end.  Great performance!
