Origin Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Rouse has had so much competitive experience and success in the last few weeks, and it shows. The show is perfectly catered to their strengths. If they wanna make finals they’re gonna have to put up a score that survives the rest of the competition (which I think is likely 👀). The woodwind soloists in the ballad were amazing. Truly a fantastic show!! VinoGirl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandFan59 Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Really good performance from Rouse. For a relatively small band they produce a huge amount of sound. A little visual dirt here and there but nothing stuck out that badly. Great show that should be a solid contender for finals.

BandFan59 Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Looks like Westlake is having tech issues 🥴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostChoirGuy Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I just started watching during Rouse's show (what a hit in the ballad!) But it looks like Westlake is having electronics issues VinoGirl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origin Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I thought Westlake was just SO good! I think water shows are so overdone, but I didn’t mind this one. That tenor sax solo in the opener is epic! It sucks that they had that huge electronics delay at the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandFan59 Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Really enjoyed Westlake! They have some fantastic soloists. The woodwind ensemble at the beginning was excellent and I'm always a sucker for a good saxophone solo. Saw a few individuals on the multi-cam look a little shaky visually but generally was impressed with the visual program as a whole. Very unfortunate to have those tech issues; hopefully they aren't penalized too badly from those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BandFan59 Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 That's a very demanding closer from Round Rock. Great performance and excellent sounds, but not sure if it will be clean enough for finals here IMO. Also couldn't help but be slightly distracted by the one performer in the mellophones who was marching with a saxophone lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origin Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I haven’t seen Round Rock since Austin and basically forgot everything, so it was like I was watching for the first time again lol. Compared to Westlake and especially Rouse, I heard and saw some cleanliness issues, but it is a very very ambitious program! That closer!!!!! It’s clear that they want to peak at Nats. Still some cleaning to do but that was great!!! BandmomCrew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band2021 Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 We had this happen to us once But it was flute in the trumpet section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a full band retreat for 5A state...and it was AWESOME. Yay for full retreats again. I assume they'll do one for 6A as well.

Origin Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Cedar Ridge was great. The build up to the first hit was so cool. So much power and energy in the brass, but it’s still so controlled!!! My only complaint is that most of the actual marching happens in the same part of the field and the show is overall a bit light on drill for my taste, but I would be very surprised not to see them again tomorrow!!

BandFan59 Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Loved the little touches Cedar Ridge added to Medea's so it's not exactly the same familiar medley we all know. Great sounds from them with a very powerful brass section. I expect to see them in finals tomorrow. HeyBandTX and CelesteKara 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostChoirGuy Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I'm very impressed by Johnson. I know they won a regional earlier this year so I shouldn't be surprised, but a couple more years of this trajectory and they could be in finals here.
