Box5 wouldn't let me order.  Soft.

Lone Star great job.... great sound... tuba feature was more clear and clean... another mishap with tarp... hope they have it fixed by Prosper next weekend...

Rope broke this time, but the girls pulling finished strong!

I think Wakeland has my favorite show of finals so far, especially musically my favorite arranged marching show.

THE DOUBLE TONGUING FROM WAXAHACHIE!!!! So clean this early in the season?!?! good for y'all.

[OGFISD99]

My favorite show tonight is definitely FloMo...... they are impeccable..... Hebron is awesome but I feel  FloMo is on a different level this year.... the artistry is beyond Hebron..... I know  i may get flack for this but judging colorguard in the past I feel FloMo  has a better  flow of drill and musicality......

I'm going to stop you right here and say what no one has said yet. Have more confidence in yourself. NO ONE is going to give you hate for stating your opinion, after all isn't that why we're all here?

I like the charm and whimsy that Hebron has with their show, but I definitely think that the depth to Flower Mound’s design lends itself to see more reward at BOA this year moving forward. Definitely could still see a Hebron win at UIL. It’ll be a close call tonight!

Ngl, I am not a fan of flomos show. It all feels pseudointellectual.

[slowbrass]

If anyone took any recordings of finals tonight, hypothetically speaking, my DMs are wide open. Hypothetically.

Ironically, that’s kind of what they’ve been doing for years (with occasional exception). It seems to work pretty well most of the time competitively.

Yeah, and I get that it's been a formula for success. But, I still don't like it. Plus I tend to think the shows dont really communicate the big ideas the want to very well (not a flomo dig, just a general comment on shows similar in style).

I love how Box5 Stream started stabbing itself after Flower Mound🤣

[fruitiestflute]

Ever so thankful my director had the band stay for finals, despite us not making the cut. Every single performance was incredible and the bands I got to chat with a little were super sweet and nice! For my first time seeing FloMo and Hebron and a lot of others, this was a helluva first impression!!!! Great job everyone and good luck to the exhibition performance!!!

When Flower Mound starts, but so does the Box5 epileptic stream of doom…

[Vegas Band Fan]

For me it’s about musicianship and that’s Hebron. All final bands were outstanding but Hebron topped them all in my book. One bands show looked very familiar to last year.

As the years go by, I find myself less and less impressed by show designs so I'm happy Flower Mound still finds ways to genuinely pull my attention in terms of creativity and prop usage. Loveddd how they made the faces wink

So far my favorite flomo show is fractured moments and Hebron right now is penstriped due to its creativity and prop usage

Looks like Aledo was 13th in prelims, but took Carroll’s spot in finals. Coppell almost got bumped out of the top half by Keller in prelims. 

[Bbowman615]

Sachse was one spot away from finals😭but beating Keller central is good enough for me😊
