Relieved for Southlake, I had doubts they'd be in semis. 

Really?  Wow!

Watched The Woodlands from an upper suite this morning. Musical clarity was vastly improved to the end. They have cleaned significantly since San Antonio and I expect that to be reflected in the evaluation. Have thoughts on others from this perspective this morning. My take is not the general take, at least so far. Prelims is just step 1.

there's a YT video of woodlands from prelims, same account has flomo, blue springs, and Bentonville. sound is terrrrible, totally lost wherever the lady was sitting. visual is good however. flomo and woodlands def the top 2 in that cluster visually. we'll see. still wish they did double panels here!!

I'll echo my post from the other thread: I'd love to hear your full thoughts! You've been less active on the socials than usual.

I'm watching on and off. I still feel the same about placements as I did before. I don't often change my mind, though. Even when the results come out completely different, I don't change my mind. 😅

Here and ready to cheer on team Texas! Excited to see these bands again after being in the Alamodome last weekend!

[crunchycookie3]

How this SLC show is in the next 8 instead of top 22 is beyond me, feels like a completely different level this morning!

[WanderingTraveler]

Really good run from Round Rock! Besides some soloist mic issues, that was about as solid of a run that they could get out of that show. Great job band!

Yeah, unsure, but seems most people on Horn Rank are pretty unanimously putting SLC at the top of the “Next 8 Block”.

??? what socials?!! lol

i don't have full thoughts bc im working 11 hrs today and am only in and out.

[crunchycookie3]

Of course a stellar run from TWHS would love to see them medal tonight

[WanderingTraveler]

Back to back great runs from Texas. Outside of some visual things at the end, really strong. WWs projection is incredibly impressive with how thinly orchestrated things are at times, definitely the highlight of this run. Don't wanna jinx anything, but this is firmly in finals. ALSO GUARD?!?! Outstanding!

[packwick]

woodlands killed it. they know when to peak. sooo looking forward to whatever the guard does in the winter bc they look like they might dominate wgi again.

[jmartin1056]

Flower Mound had the audience so focused! A couple of tears from audience members at the end. Such a strong showing!!!

[WanderingTraveler]

Great semi’s run from Flower Mound! That ballad is absolutely heart wrenching, and you can’t squeeze a more visually stunning end zone to end zone canvas out of a marching show if you tried. My opinion remains unchanged, this wins.

[packwick]

ok well all 4 of the tx bands so far did their jobs. fabulous runs. it's out of their hands now.

[Tubalord11]

Late post but congratulations to all Texas bands on making semis! I’ve been keeping up with forms here and Hornrank and it sounds like everyone’s had great runs today! I’ve heard Round rock other than mic issues had a really good run and could push for finals! Should be able to watch semis results, can’t wait to see how it shakes out 

[jmartin1056]

Dripping Springs should be in Finals. I have a hard time seeing that as “just on the bubble”. Fantastic job!

[WanderingTraveler]

Dripping Springs just absolutely dropped the hammer in Lucas Oil!!! I’m astonished by how this group continually makes this show better and better, and the sound they produced today was phenomenal! For me, this isn’t even considered a bubble band anymore, this is in. Fingers crossed for one more run here!

[crunchycookie3]

Dripping Springs threw DOWN! Could see them ahead of some always-finalists tonight

[WanderingTraveler]

Great run by Marcus!! Legendary percussion as always, and I think especially the back half of the show was incredible today.

[JRZ]

Marcus! Absolutely incredible performance. Wow just wow! 

[jmartin1056]

Marcus and Reagan back to back felt like being back in the Alamodome! Loved both shows!
