livonian Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Vista Ridge will be performing at 9:30 AM tomorrow instead of at 5:30 PM today. That's great! I'm glad they've updated the rules. A few years ago Hendrickson couldn't make their time because of tornadoes, and the rules didn't allow them to plug someone into a break. So they only got to do an exhibition at finals. And looking at your name, the funny thing is Hendrickson's show that year was named Lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And looking at your name, the funny thing is Hendrickson's show that year was named Lost. The benefit of having two judging panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetliner Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 For those that haven't seen JBA before, check last year's show too. Just as much emotion and message built into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved their show last year. Probably more than this year's. But they certainly tackled something much bigger this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueCircle Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Keller...wow...what an incredibly difficult and nuanced show. Like last year, I think they be safely in finals. I love all the changes they keep making right till the end. The closer is still maybe my favorite moment of the year so far though it seems the audio was a bit weird. Easily the most demanding show of the day! The winds don’t stop playing throughout! meursault 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWHSParent Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 There have been several falls today. Noticed 2 or 3 for Westlake, and others scattered. I think it is the performers doing their all and a little beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meursault Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 The source music is from Stoick’s Ship from How To Train A Dragon That's why it seemed so familiar! It has a similar melody as "Test Flight" from the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCircle Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Oddly the thing I was the most impressed by from Keller was the individual visual! All that drill in front of the sideline showed off some seriously good technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueCircle Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Hendrickson is better than judges have been giving them credit for, but the design is a bit of a miss. The vocal soloists is fantastic but there’s too much of a focus on her and the band almost feels secondary in a lot of spots.

zoomer Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 I didn’t think I was watching 17th at Waco. Fun show from hendrickson, a bit messy at times visually but good sounds overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the young lady is a fantastic singer, but that show feels more like they are featuring the vocalist and not the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it was ever bad, but I didnt feel like I was watching one of the best marching bands in the state. I felt like I was watching a good marching band put on a fun background show at a weird concert. FloMoParent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 I think Rouse pulled off Midnight City pretty well for a show centered around a modern song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
