Yes via flomarching

Good performances all around in the first block.  Coppell had probably their best run of their year.  Marcus still sounds awesome and that should surprise no one.

Yes via flomarching

What did you think?

[LostChoirGuy]

Flomarching is streaming UIL!?

Very strong musically. Probably wont make finals but will place higher than 2016.

I just meant I was watching online.

This announcer sounds much different than the one I remember from 2016

So I work with a dad who has a daughter in the Round Rock band.   It strikes me as really odd that he doesn't go to any of the performances and follow band at all....

 

I am sure that is the norm, but it struck me as really odd.

Sounds like a deadbeat dad.

Yes. MUCH younger.

[Samuel Culper]

Pardon my French, but the crowd here f'ing sucks. If you only want to cheer for your band, stay home.

 

Pitiful.

Agreed :-(

Luis Munoz, who announced UIL State for many years, retired recently.  That's why the announcer is different.

To be fair, my parents weren't involved at all because literally any task the band asked for took a lot of effort and time that they just didn't have.

This is kind of the norm for State Contest.  The stakes are the highest they have been all season.  Everyone is nervous.  I kind of get it.  If people want to sit on their hands and not really enjoy the rest of the contest, that's okay.  I'll enjoy it more to make up for it.

[TWHSParent]

I think it is quite enjoyable. Lots of great shows!

[LeanderMomma]

Watching online simply does not compare to seeing this stuff live btw. This Alexander band is SO GOOD and this web broadcast is not doing this show justice.

[jcbg]

Not sure if I mentioned it, but my bold prediction for the day is that 5 finalists will come out of Block 3.

[Bandnerd03]

John B Alexander wins the award for my favorite band I've never heard of before 2018. I can't wait to see what's in store for them for the future.

[LeanderMomma]

oh and props to Daniel Montoya for being the most entertaining interviewer so far.

You are more charitable than I, sir. I'm turning into a grumpy old man with low tolerance for selfishness.

 

C'est la vie. I'll just do my part to show these f'ers how to properly support these amazing kids.

[Samuel Culper]

And Alexander was fantastic.
