I hope your head DM is alright though Oh my goodness! Who was it last weekend at UIL with the super sick soloist? I think he showed up just to perform the solo and then went back to bed.

Parkwoodmom Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 I’m excited to read any comments today; I love seeing everybody’s response to not only our show, but everybody else’s as well. It’s like reading a well-written book. I really enjoyed your show! The music, the colors, the props! I’m not a judge by any means, but I know what I like. Kudos.

MusicGuy Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Until today I had never seen Rouse's show. I am blown away by the sound quality they are able to maintain at louder dynamics. Their control is outstanding. My 2A favorite so far, and they may even be capable of more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKendrick Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Rouse was incredible live. They sound SO GOOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hehe Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 So I found Seven Lakes's prelims run in the depths of YouTube, and its,,, stunning. It's a Flo Marching recording so it isn't the best quality but you still get the gist. Asaiah and bandgeekofthecentury 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostChoirGuy Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Ugh, my goal was to make it for Rouse, but I only caught the end of their show and the sound on FloMarching seems really quiet today. I have it all of the way up and can still hardly hear ANYTHING. Has anyone had this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not able to watch, but I read from someone on the MFA forum that high cam sound worked better than multicam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LHSax Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Westlake - the best kept secret in CenTex. Love the new direction they’ve taken this year. Would definitely consider them a dark horse to sneak in. jmfeldman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takigan Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 It’s because people are putting them 1-10 to gain those points There's always a couple people in every prediction which puts their band in every spot which skews their ranking a little in the analysis. I think in Ann Richards' and Tom Glenn's case it's a conspiracy of sorts ("Hey everybody, make an account and go vote so our band rises to the top of the list!"). We might need to look into tweaking the system in the future so you can't do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandL0v3r Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Did anyone see Round Rock? How did they do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Testing Trumpet Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 From what people are saying their Musical package was solid, but the weak visual package the show itself has makes it hard to say either way if they will make Finals. I do think they have a shot at it, but it wasn't an undeniable performance. Nothing to be ashamed of either way; it's a great band that executed their show at a very high level!

A Testing Trumpet Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 If they get left out I would assume it to be because of Visual General Effect. If they get in it's because of Musical clarity and Visual Execution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dband2018 Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Round rock alumni here, how did our show look from the stadium? We had a really terrible run both visually and slightly musically,but do y'all think it was still good enough to get in finals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Testing Trumpet Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 I wasn't in the stadium itself so I couldn't tell you first hand. I do think that the band is in a very similar situation as last year though where both '17s and '18s Visual packages hurt them a fair bit. It '17 it was because there was so much Visual GE that it became confusing to gauge and it made it hard to judge Visual execution. This year it is the other way around. Visual Execution is prioritized over Visual GE to do better in UIL. It is difficult to say either way really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubisco Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Much cleaner performance from Vandegrift than at Area. There wasn't really a whole lot of obvious dirt until the last few moments, but it's so hard there at the end that you have to be a bit forgiving.

A Testing Trumpet Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 If I had to choose I would say they have a higher chance than last year, albeit very slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
