Nny14 Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Does anyone have any exciting picks for predictions? I personally have Jack Hays in finals, and Vandegrift taking the gold medal! I would like to see Round Rock back in the top 5, but that's more of a hope than a prediction. I think Cedar Park will win their class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nny14 Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Or 100% lol. Gotta love Texas. That's what I was thinking haha. Hopefully its nothing heavy and helps to cool off the afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
principalagent Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 I think Cedar Park will win their class. That’s a little bold these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCircle Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Is Vista Ridge AAAA now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard Core Band Fan Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 This should be an exciting regional with likely 1/3 of this year's Grand National finalists performing. If the Dallas and Houston bands start to come here in the future, this could rival San Antonio (on a smaller scale) with the difficulty in making the finals. Much fewer bands in contention, but also 2 less spots in the finals.Edit: I changed this to 1/3 of the finalist. I meant to put this originally, but totally missed it when proofreading.

lost Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Looks like this lands on Rouses homecoming day from what I’ve heard but they’re still showing up and fighting for that finals spot which is very respectable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanderMomma Posted September 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Is Vista Ridge AAAA now? Yes, that is my understanding. Leander and Cedar Park (and Rouse?) are 3A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marimbajack Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 This should be an exciting regional with likely 1/4 of this year's Grand National finalists performing. 1/3 If Round Rock makes into both finals (which I bet they will)!

Hard Core Band Fan Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 1/3 If Round Rock makes into both finals (which I bet they will)! Typo on my part. I meant to state 1/3 of the finalist. I think Round Rock will once again make the finals. marimbajack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumCorpsGeek Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 James Bowie’s uniforms are nice!! Check out DPG’s Twitter. They also have poles that look like Vanguard’s, maybe even are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(@bringyourownshade) LOTS of people do that, but if you don't put that thing down the second a band takes the field, you WILL get yelled at. don't ask me how I know...

LoveMyBandNerd19 Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 If anyone want's a preview of Vista and Vandergrift they are playing each other Friday night at Gupton Stadium (just a couple of miles up the road from Kelly Reeves stadium). Vista will be preforming Turning the Tables before the game (half time will be middle school night for Vista). If you want to see the show come around 6 to 6:15 pm. so you can get in and seated in time. I am not sure of Vandergrift's plans for 1/2 time but hope they will be performing the full show! It should be a good football game also, both teams are undefeated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(#bringyourownshade) as someone who has sat through many wet Austin shows - the etiquette is stay dry without ticking off the person behind you - invite them under the umbrella boneheaddad and gregorydf01 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Gato_01 Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Oh, speaking of rain...I didn't take that into account of my Shadow Creek surprise finals pick. SE Houston got hit by Imelda and I'm sure those guys lost lots of rehearsals due to rain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTJBandPops Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 looks like rain is predicted from 7am to 11am - not heavy in Austin - could work out to be a great day for marching bands at Kelly Reeves - looking forward to it!!! gregorydf01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostChoirGuy Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 I'm so excited! And I finally got internet today, so I will be able to watch!

PLC137 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Also just watched Vista and Vandegrift. Both looked good. I think I'd favor Vista on GE and Visual and VHS on quality of music performance. I'm partial to VR since my kids go there, but objectively I can say CTJ is far from a lock on the gold tomorrow. In fairness I haven't seen their show. VR this year is bigger and more confident... Will see if that translates to results. Also, been coming to these things for five years now and I will never understand the GE category. I haven't seen Leander yet but I'm guessing they haven't been idle either. Like other posters, I kind of think Cedar Park is going to be out for blood. Last year was a down year, I bet they're our for redemption.
