LeanderMomma Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Or maybe something like Center Grove's show. Similar, WGI-ish feel. Yes, they're both quite similar. Very interesting and "cerebral" shows visually. I'm not a huge fan for a massive marching band competition, but I can see the appeal as far as WGI goes. For Texas bands sakes, I'd hate to see this be the norm for bands of the future. Give me a huge band, big green grassy field, and massive sound any day! Must be the Texan in me...you know....everything is bigger? jmj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanderMomma Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 And when the activity does move indoors, that opens up the possibility of American bands competing against the likes of Nishihara from Japan. Wouldn't that be something? Oh my word, I can't even imagine the US ever being at the level of that Nishihara band. They are not even human!!

Marching Observer Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Well heck, just look at the shows that elementary or middle school groups do and what they are able to achieve already! Yes, they do have groups that young. The talent level is just on a different planet! Someday I think it would be really cool to go to their national championship and experience it.

dylan123 Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 So now the question comes up... will Flower Mound or Marcus place higher? I’m thinking Flower Mound. They both brought it today. Wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dukeoftrumpet Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 I think my three medals right now are Carmel, Marcus, and Flower Mound, I just don’t know what order. They all looked amazing this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all looked amazing this weekend Those would also be my current top 3 in semi's. Marcus really owned their show and I hope they keep going in this visual direction because they were able to nail it as well! So different from them but added so much to their talent.

LeanderMomma Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 4 I agree,tho I'm not 100% sure. Certainly FloMo, Marcus and The Woodlands. Hopefully and surely, Round Rock. It'd be great to see Churchill in there as well, but there just isn't enough room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloMoParent Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 How many Texas bands do y’all think will be in finals? Flower Mound, Marcus, and The Woodlands are pretty much locks. I think Churchill and Round Rock will be just on the outside looking in, but close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubisco Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Okay, Carmel it will be, probably. Not surprising. Amazing visual program. Let’s just hope there’s at least one TX bands in the top 3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard Core Band Fan Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Well, still 11 available spots in the finals and one permanent reservation for Marion Catholic. They so didn't earn it this time (again). Disappointing. scoobydoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nny14 Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 They earned it today and didn't in SA. Yup. Once they realized nothing was going to be given to them, the performance improved a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpod Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Because of how they do the performance order for Finals, we can determine that:Flower Mound, Marcus, and The Woodlands were Top 6 in Semis.Round Rock was somewhere between 12th and 7th Place in Semis.

dtexas4444 Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 They earned it today and didn't in SA. I think it is more difficult to make finals at SA than it is at Nationals this year. Bandwoww 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
