2019 BOA Dallas/ Fort Worth Regional

[BlueCircle]

I thought Keller gave a fantastic performance. They play these massive long phrases on the move as well as crazy technique and make it sound so powerful yet controlled. They also continue to amp up the visuals every year. So much going on but it works in an amazing way. So much difficult and they get better every single year. Keller, you should be proud!

super impressed by Forney tonight. I like their chances to make finals in Waco in a couple weeks, and maybe even return to state finals after a 10 year absence

[LostChoirGuy]

I agree- Forney was great!

[BlueCircle]

I want Hebron to win over FloMo but idk if it’s gonna happen. Also I think I would put Marcus over Keller tonight. Marcus was already super clean and Keller just needs more time to clean. I think Bell definitely stays in the top half. I have no clue how I would rank the bottom half.

Fairly accurate. Seeing the contest in person I would throw ld bell and Marcus as 2 more bands on the next level. Flo Mo was just meh to me. Timber Creek seem off to me, maybe because of director change. I would rank them as follows:

 

1.hebron

2. Keller

3. Ld bell

4. Marcus, (love their style now, I was never a drink water fan)

5. Flower Mound

6. Coppell

7. Wakeland

8. Keller Central

9. Timber Creek.

10. Waxahachie

What happened to prosper? Did anyone see their performance? I can’t remember a time when a band made Grand National finals and then didn’t make finals at a regional??? I’m really confused.

I saw Prosper in Prelims, they looked good and I was was surprised to see them out. They had a good performance IMO.

If yall wanna compare scores to prepare for SA..

Absolutely, I can’t fathom FM winning by that wide of a margin. I was pretty low in the stands though, might made a bigger difference if I had been higher up.

[A Testing Trumpet]

Different judges leads to scores not being 1:1 across competitions. 

[DeepEllum]

Considering Hebron had a massive visual gaffe in their first movement ( looks like a prop set wrong and threw off some marchers pretty bad) and was just slightly weaker, I’m not worried about them being that behind

[alex9809]

Maybe Flomo was more precise on their drill? Or maybe they have a complete show so everything made sense on the field?

[Texasbandisthebest]

Well if we wanna try to compare scores across competitions...Westwood’s 85 puts Vandy at about a 94 in Houston. So comparing scores might not be wise here...

[Nny14]

Maybe Flomo was more precise on their drill? Or maybe they have a complete show so everything made sense on the field?

FloMo definitely has a more complete show right now, but the performance levels were not that drastic. In that regard I thought Hebron was slightly better.

[alex9809]

Sorry guys, I just like looking at scores across the board. And like to see how tight scores are in each competition. And try to see how competitive future competitions maybe. It honestly gets me excited.
