That arrangement When I Was Younger is one of my favorite things to hear over and over again. Mirror Mirror is eternal.

My senior daughter who was a freshman in 2022 just ran in from the other room and said, "That's our opener!!!"

ETA: Hondo sounded great.  I'm now rooting for them to make Finals!

Be careful what you wish for. Seeing the prelims results caused an uproar in the 5A thread. 😵‍💫

Rumor has it that it was pretty close between raymondville and Mineola. Props to them eyeing that medal!

[JFNDOWBFAN]

Curious to see how close Commerce was from finals despite props and such.

Seeing any prelim sheet causes an uproar these days.

Have to feel for those kids if visuals was the difference maker.

True, but after checking the 6A thread for similiar reactions I felt like there was a special kind of madness going on in the 5A one 😂

I know it was crazy, but I had fun

10 bands to go in the Texas season.

(Unless you count those performing in Indy of course)

Jourdanton! So awesome to see the show. I missed it during the Super Regional prelims. Congratulations on sweeping the captions and class champion there. Beautiful ballad!

[jetliner]

Jourdanton back in finals for the first time since '84

Troy in finals for the first time ever

Hondo back in finals for the first time since '94

Wall in finals for the first time ever

 

What a way to lead off finals!

[bk_bobb]

Nice job Raymondville!  What a fun show and great guard too!  
 

[anotherbandmom]

Loved the music selection Redwater!! 

[jetliner]

And that's the season. 

For myself that was 624 performances over 24 contests. Haven't run the numbers on how many unique bands. It may be a very long time before I get another season where I can enjoy it to this extreme. I have more thoughts than I have words to describe them. Thank you to all the bands!

Congrats to all the bands tonight. It was basically a two school race all day. 
 

I will say one school (not going to say name) very distasteful comments from parents and I am very embarrassed as a band fan. 

[Chris Chappa]

Congrats to Mineola and ALL THE AWESOME 3A BANDS!  This was an incredibly strong field this year!

Ah, bummer. It’s always gotta be someone. 
 

really a great contest and the bands should be so proud. I’m thrilled for Raymondville coming back from just off the podium last year! And Mineola…gosh…just stellar!

[WanderingTraveler]

Congratulations to Mineola and all of the finals bands for 3A! Great way to end the season!
