A Testing Trumpet Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Biggest standouts to me from the prelims awards was Vista Ridge beating Cedar Park, and James Bowie beating Round Rock. Cool that Rouse got a class champion spot . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostChoirGuy Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Yeah, that's why I pointed it out. At the end of the day, I looked at my list and said "that's not right!" -referring to Cedar Ridge. Other than that, I seemed to have it basically right. I had the top three in order for every class except 4A where I had Round Rock in 3rd and Bowie in 4th, which I think is impressive, because I really have no idea what I am doing.

principalagent Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Some points for the history books: Rouse's first time grabbing captions and first time as class champion in BOA For the first time ever, five LISD bands will perform in the night show at this regional. I don't believe this is a record, but it might be close. At least, it is a record in Texas (will have to look at Cobb County in Georgia regionals) UNPRECEDENTED: For three years in a row, the same finalists make repeat appearances. This is the first time Vista Ridge has ever beaten Cedar Park in a BOA competition (there may be other firsts here - will have to update when performance times come out). EDIT - this is also Vista Ridge's first time placing in the top half of a BOA regional. At this time, Winston Churchill has not missed a regular season regional finals in at least 20 years. There are longer records, but this one might be the longest active stretch in Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone may correct me, but I believe that's actually Vista's first class top 3 placement in any BOA competition in their history. whitewing09 and principalagent 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep! Was also hoping that Leander ISD would be the first school district to put four bands in the top half. Seems we missed that one tonight, barring any jumps in finals.

A Testing Trumpet Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Interesting list. This tells us Leander, Bowie, CTJ, Vista Ridge, and Vandegrift made the top 5. Cedar Park and Round Rock are in the 6-10 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bingogooberman Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Didn’t get the chance to watch much today, but cedar park outside top 5 makes sense given the exceptional design of Bowie and Vista this year. Cedar park’s got to step it up in design, they’re talented enough to be winning these competitions principalagent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedar park’s got to step it up in design, they’re talented enough to be winning these competitions Cedar Park has so much potential it’s crazy. Fun shows like what they do don’t use them to their full potential. However, I have never in my life been blow away by the Can Can as I was today.

LostChoirGuy Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Correct me if I am wrong, but does Bowie have more props now than they did during prelims? Like tarps and those black things are more elaborate. It might be because it was raining earlier. I thought they already had a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetliner Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Bowie's probably going to be an entirely different show now that the rain is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossblue82 Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 My heart says Leander first, but I’m thinking first or second. Not sure CTJ can be beaten tonight. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostChoirGuy Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 I thought Leander was the best in Prelims, but wasn't as sure after finals. I just read on the live blog though that their synth wasn't working which might explain why it didn't feel as complete. I still think they medal, but I'm not sure which.

justabandkid94 Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Similarly, I thought CTJ (while I haven’t seen it) would have GE in the bag during prelims. But then Vandegrift takes it. I think it just furthers the confirmation that nuances and “less” obvious GE scores just as much point as what meets the eye. Vandegrift proved this point last year and may be doing so again this time around. I expect to see CTJ/Vandegrift/ Leander medaling. Small spread between the 3, and smaller margin between 1st and 2nd if the splitting trend continues Whats exciting is we don’t actually know the placements from prelims, since Leander is in a different class than CTJ and Vandegrift. Anyways, here we go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post principalagent Posted September 30, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 And Vista Ridge adding more to the history books with their first Finals Caption! And their highest BOA Placement ever! Congrats to Leander for getting back in the medal game with a caption in tow, and CTJ for #8.
