LostChoirGuy Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 I loved Alexander at McAllen and they have totally outdone themselves here. What a fantastic performance. Very few shows that I have seen are able to affect me the way that one did in a way that didnt come across as cheesy or overly dramatic and they performed so well. Also, fantastic vocalist. Usually I cant stand vocalists in marching band shows. Quote

LeanderMomma Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 That Alexander performance was astounding. I mean just brilliant. The concept, the props, the music, the INCREDIBLE SOLOIST! Just wow. So blown away. whitewing09 1 Quote
thebashful15 Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 Call me crazy - and I understand that there is still a LOT of bands still to go - but I feel Seven Lakes has a shot at finals, definitely a placing within the top 20. Also, Vandy's music by far was my favorite thus far. That musical caption is going to be TOUGH to take from them. Quote
sabandalumni Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 Flower mounds show was so appealing and fun to watch. They did great on music and marching no doubt but I still think Vandergrift has it so far. ssjsb 1 Quote

LostChoirGuy Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 Ok, Im glad it is not just me. But multicam is so annoying! Also, I enjoyed FM so much more than when I watched tgem at DFW. I finally understand their show a bit. Quote
Rubisco Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 High cam seems to be working again. Unfortunately, I had to watch Bowie on multi. I love the eyes on the uniforms. Didn't notice that before. I also love the psychedelic garden they create on the field. Strong performance, too, but maybe not a show-stopping one. Quote
TWHSParent Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 I think the psychedelic garden is actually multi-cellular life. The show starts with single-cells scattered across the field, during certain times, the cells meet up, and sometimes they connect, creating more complex forms. Ultimately all the cells come together forming complex cells and more complex life. My take on the theme of Floridly Primordial.... Rubisco 1 Quote

Whether intra- or inter- cellular I suppose is up to interpretation. I thought of it as within a single cell. Quote
Rubisco Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 Yes, that would definitely explain the ending, and it would fit with the theme. Quote
Majellan Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 Did everyone in northwest Austin just start the stream for Leander? Had the most issues this evening with pixelation. Great performance by the way, always like Leander shows. Edit: Oh okay, I forgot Reagan was next. That might also explain an uptick in viewers. Quote
SHP Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 I’d say it Is between Vandy and Reagan so far... Quote
Nny14 Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 Reagan putting out one of the most amazing shows I've ever seen, and the stream buffers non-stop. Beyond annoyed. A Testing Trumpet 1 Quote
Rubisco Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 Okay, so there's no Korzeniowski music at all in Leander's show? Where did I get that idea from? That would explain why I was so confused I didn't recognize anything from him. Okay, and that beginning music I didn't recognize must have been the Metallica. A fine performance from Leander. I maintain that the last movement is the most effective. So sexy! I do think that it could have been a little cleaner from start to finish. Reagan, Reagan, Reagan. I still love the music book, and there are some very nice visual moments indeed. I just wish it was a bit cleaner. There was noticeable dirt from start to finish. I love the ribbon flags at the end. Very eye-popping. I don't know if the additional ending adds all that much to the show, though. Still a top contender. My mind is beginning to change... Go figure... Quote

It’s like reading a well-written book. Hey there! Your props are so neat! Did the band boosters make them? Quote

I think the Korzeniowski piece was originally going to be in the show, but was changed. The Metallica song is called "Battery" by the way ;D Quote

I don't think there has been a real "all-around" show yet, but there might not be one this year. Flower Mound probably came the closest for me, but Vandegrift was *quite* clean. Then of course Reagan and Leander all had lots to appreciate, but the dirt was noticeable. I suppose I could see why somebody would have Vandegrift, FM, or Reagan in first right now. No strong feelings yet for me. But I'm also a hardcore perfectionist, so there's that. Quote

Flower Mound was kinda the middle ground in these regards. I'm sure Vista Ridge, Hebron, The Woodlands, and CTJ will make things even more complicated tomorrow. Quote
