BlueCircle Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Leander - I LOVE the variety in musical selections. Amazing intense opener complemented perfectly by the guard. Nice color contrast. Opener is perfect, Britney section still needs some ironing out. Too solo heavy for my taste, but the soloists are KILLING it! I like how they turned the Polarity props into a stage. I love the colors. The ballad is beautiful and it contrasts the rest of the show nicely. LeanderMomma 1 Quote
josephbandfan Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Wow! Loved Leander's music as usual and am so impressed with their rifle line. Some really cool drill moments and those towers looked awesome. I saw the frames of the towers in a video of their halftime but they looked completely different. LeanderMomma 1 Quote
El Gato_01 Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Yes I am hearing that deductions are happening for shows under 6 minutes. Quote
TWHSParent Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 My top 3, in my order, are Cedar Ridge, Vista Ridge, and Leander. Then a bit of a gap to the next 3, which are, again in my order, Hendrickson, Rouse, and Round Rock. Del Rio is next and a threat for finals if anyone doesn't bring their good stuff this afternoon. Again, just my opinion and is worth what you paid for it . Really enjoyable morning from all the bands. Note this assumes no penalties, which could impact things. Quote

Music selection was fun and the show had some nice movements. Nice job. I notice each year they get a little bit better. They aren't ready to compete at the top of the 1A foodchain in BOA yet (Norton, Beechwood, Adair County, Bourbon County) but they are working in that direction. A Testing Trumpet 1 Quote
principalagent Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Whew Lake Travis! Some of the traditional finalists at this regional have to watch out after Rouse and Lake Travis today. Quote
BlueCircle Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Lake Travis was a very nice surprise! I also love the closer because we used El Dorado when I was in high school, fun piece! Quote
A Testing Trumpet Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Lake Travis- Strong showing! I was a bit late to the performance but that arrangement from last year's RR show caught my attention . Loved the power in the sound. Great job! Quote
TWHSParent Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 High cam audio not streaming? Or just me? Quote

A Testing Trumpet Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 It was glitchy for me as well Quote
TWHSParent Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 I've done the split screen thing, and have the audio from the multi-cam with video from both. Not sure if you can do that on a smartphone or tablet if that is how you are watching. Quote
ctex1994 Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 WOW. Lake Travis. Could easily see them making finals tonight, even if it means Hendrickson, Round Rock, Rouse are on the outside looking in. Quote
ctex1994 Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 My order so far: Leander Vista Ridge Cedar Rirdge Lake Travis Round Rock Cedar Park Rouse Hendrickson Del Rio Quote
BlueCircle Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Cedar Park- not a fan of the cheesy voiceover BUT those wings are cool! Percussion is awesome. Great rifles! I would love to see more difficulty and exposed playing in the brass book. The guard keeps impressing me. Definitely made a strong case for finals! Quote
A Testing Trumpet Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Cedar Park- The clarity of their sound is so crisp, and their movements are very clean. The show is good, Wouldn't put a top 5 finish out of the cards. Nice job! Quote
PLC137 Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Yeah, fair to say there will be 3-4 bands missing finals that really "deserve" it. No one is saying much about Bowie but don't forget them. Personally, rooting for Del Rio to get in, mainly because they traveled so far to be here! Also, I interesting no Westlake this year. Quote
A Testing Trumpet Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Need to go do some stuff so can't commentate further, but good luck all bands performing in prelims! Quote
A Testing Trumpet Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 My top 10 so far would be Vista Ridge/Leander (can't choose between) Cedar Ridge Cedar Park Round Rock Hendrickson Lake Travis Del Rio Jack C. Hays Pflugerville Quote
ctex1994 Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 OK now CY woods is really strong. I have been impressed by every band so far. Literally every one. josephbandfan 1 Quote
BlueCircle Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Another fantastic surprise from Cypress Woods! This competition is too insane, I don’t envy the judgesz Quote

TWHSParent Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Cedar Park will do very, very well at UIL this year. Very nice sound and clean visuals. Lacks a little BOA GE I think, so I don't see them top half here. Cypress Woods has a really good show. They are going to be one of those top 15 shows that could sneak into finals depending on how the judges see it. Quote
