Nny14 Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Holy heck I think that was the best Homestead I've ever seen. Not the cleanest performance but they are going for it. Super intense and exciting stuff. BlueCircle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHSax Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 And the winner for most notes goes to.... That musical book is something else. By no means something that you’ll find yourself humming afterwards, but fascinating to hear it on the field. And they’re MOVING for a lot of it!

LeanderMomma Posted October 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Avon is incredible, but I agree that the narration is extremely annoying. I can’t help but wonder if the judges haven’t commented on it. Surely they have! They told Rouse to tone down the whistles in their show. Leander got some feedback on other things that we cut out of our show. Surely they are telling Avon to lose some of the narration. But maybe the judges don’t really tell bands like Avon and Carmel to stop doing anything at all. Those bands do win for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCircle Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Very ambitious program from Lockport Township. I definitely see why they made the top half here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tx Hill Country Bands Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Amazing. Even the weakest of Indy bands all had fantastic guard! Texas band program need to not take this fact as a threat rather learn from these wonderful programs. That being said, Indy will never have the music talent that is generated in abundance in Texas! Once Texas cracks the Guard and Visual code Kevin will be sweating lengthy summers down south just like the rest of us. Never to return! principalagent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewho Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 The difference between 2018 and this year was how firm the top band in the country was #1. Too bad the other #1's aren't coming in November. This is an Indiana guy, just you all know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueCircle Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Blue Springs!!! What a way to end finals and what a way to end their BOA season! This show REALLY grew on me and I’m in awe of how masterful the design is and how near perfect the execution was. Loved it top to bottom! I think the top 3 here should have a substantial lead over the rest of the field and hopefully Blue Springs comes especially close to Carmel. Actually, BS was so clean compared to Carmel’s dirty run...I want to see BS in 2nd. Great way to end their season nonetheless.

principalagent Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Expected Avon to pop a bigger spread over an uncharacteristic Carmel. Curious what that means for GN. Maybe the show is beatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbandfan9 Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 I think Avon looked really phenomenal tonight but here’s my 2¢. 1. The scariest part about how good they are is that they have a lot of room to improve. Their drill is demanding and as such there are some forms that still don’t seem to be hitting clearly. 2. In my opinion they lack the Texas big brass band punchiness and volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubisco Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 I didn’t see the finals performances, but the full finals recap seems pretty spot-on based on the prelims performances I saw. Carmel was in first place in ensemble visual and visual effect, which I agree with. (Drill is amazing.) Avon (mostly) gets their edge in music. Less than a point between the two. I agree with that as well. I’m surprised at how close Blue Springs was to Carmel, based on what I saw at St. Louis, but I didn’t see a Blue Springs performance here, so maybe it’s accurate.

justabandkid94 Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Anyone happen to screen record either of Avon’s performances? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTJBandPops Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Expected Avon to pop a bigger spread over an uncharacteristic Carmel. Curious what that means for GN. Maybe the show is beatable. the fact that Avon has pulled off 2 recent wins over Carmel implies that Carmel is vulnerable - the gap is not so big to this that Avon can get comfortable. it also says that the Texas bands (and others) have a chance to make a move on these 2 Indy powerhouses in GNats just a few more weeks and we will know for sure LHSbandDad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Txpharmguy Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 86.9 will be lucky to get 25th place in San Antonio, let alone 5th at a Super Regional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
