East) last season. Not sure if that’ll be the case this time, hopefully not Quote

jmartin1056 Posted August 29, 2025 Posted August 29, 2025 Livestream of the woodlands game tonight showed the band. Their guard is clearly coming off strong after the WGI win. SUPER excited to see what else they have for the rest of the show! Chippy and TWHSPercDad 2 Quote

Halftime is soon upon us! My thoughts listening to it. Wow. Just wow, obviously not as clean but when it is it will be great. Great Preshow body movement. Good opening hit, could definitely work on keeping their volume consistent. Woodwinds going crazy in that feature. Great brass feature right there, will obviously need more time to clean up, but they are killing it. Amazing Job Wylie East, Area J watch out. BugWub24 and BbMarching 1 1 Quote

Very mesmerizing pre-show. The trumpet soloist was NAILS on the Mussorgsky! Great sounds coming out from the group already!

BugWub24 Posted August 30, 2025 Posted August 30, 2025 First halftime performance from Sachse this year! Coppell did not perform their show tonight. Show starts at 1:35:50. Here are my first thoughts of Sachse this year: I’ve always felt that Sachse’s shows are unique in the sense that how the shows are designed felt out of place in comparison with other bands they compete with (2018, for example). Last year was a step in the right direction, but I didn’t feel like they had crossed that barrier yet. This year, I believe Sachse finally has a show, in terms of design, that’s on par with other bands they compete against. The music arrangement has more structure and flows way better, and there is a good mix of percussion and wind features (something they were lagging behind on). I have always felt that their choreo was too basic, but now they are finally experimenting with new ideas. That alone raises the potential of this group; they will be a force for years to come. They sound great already! When cleaned up, they will sound really powerful! Diego_RCHS 1 Quote
slowbrass Posted August 30, 2025 Posted August 30, 2025 Saw Hebron tonight. They performed up to the ballad I think. Didn’t catch the show title, but they played three pieces; Magical Mystery Tour as the opener, then one I didn’t recognize, then The Abyss by silvestri. Tubalord11 1 Quote

That second piece sounds an awful lot alike to "The Leviathan" from Atlantis: The Lost Empire by James Newton Howard. Not saying it's that but I notice a lot of similarities! Quote

Nice opening body movement, cool drill going into that opening hit. Feel like the audio isn’t that good. This is some really cool drill they got here with the WiFi set and the 4 lines. Nice features from both brass and woodwinds. Overall great performance and definitely one to look out for. Some visual issues in some places but it’s early season so that’s a given. Nice job Rockwall. Quote

Bands are very competitive and a lot of them don't want to tip their cap or let other bands analyze their performance and try to copy stuff. I really don't think bands copying things is real. I think it's as simple as early season performances are a work in progress and most bands probably don't have the sync rights to post an official video. Bands have their shows finalized months in advance of the season, they're not trying to find dirt to copy a woodwind run or flag silk they think will give them a leg up in August months after their show and all the elements were finalized lol. I have never heard an instance of a band "stealing" something from another band. Especially once the season has started. BandDad11, bassboneman, CosmicLimbo and 6 others 9 Quote

The whole stealing parts of shows makes me laugh every time because it just doesn’t happen. Bands just don’t want a sloppy performance of them online, or they don’t have the rights to have the show online. I remember when I was in school the rule was no videos until our first competition when everyone saw our show on Flomarching either way. Chippy, bassboneman, enderplayz17 and 2 others 4 1 Quote
