BandFan59 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Wow, Coppell was phenomenal!! I love their new uniforms with the teal and maroon colors, it really makes them all stand out on the field. The ballad is BEAUTIFUL, with the many different colored flags and the two dancers in the center. They sound as good as they always have, and the visual book is excellently executed as well. This show is going to do excellent this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the whole show is on the field. Just really really impressive all around. They always seem to get scored lower than I think they will, so hopefully that doesn’t happen this time. Nice to see the "Mothership" again (Mandarin's, Vista Ridge's and now Coppell's big rotating platform)! I liked the way they used it with the center prop. and paint scheme. I agree they looked and sounded really good! Hope to see them in finals! Origin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origin Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Lone Star ? I saw their small front ensemble and definitely under estimated them. Why have I never really heard of this band before?!? That was so good! I think they have a very legitimate shot at finals. gregorydf01 and Parkwoodmom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjm715 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 I’m not the craziest about lone stars show but it’s so great to see a 5A play like that! I think they have a great shot. Parkwoodmom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origin Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Waxahachie plays so well! They need to commit to that ballad jam out part so that moment really clicks. I wanna know the significance of the different people on the props. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely the spot you could tell that they enjoy playing the most, i personally felt a lot of energy down here close to the field on the 50 but it may register differently in other parts of the stands!

I’m watching online, but I was more talking about the moment visually. I could see them kindof grooving to the music and wanted them to really go for it.

Origin Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 I love the music Keller is playing, especially the Bach section! Typical Keller with lots of technical and difficult playing. Cool use of the prop in the ballad. Visually, the show lacks GE, and I think they have a cleaner performance in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BandFan59 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Keller plays very well, but visually I think it's just a little bit lacking right now. There's just something missing to give the show an extra oomph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's just something missing to give the show an extra oomph. They’ve always been late bloomers. In 2018 they didn’t have their full performance on the field until San Antonio prelims. They cut it a little tight but they always make it work in the longer run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prop usage in the ballad reminded me of a Flanagan World Guard show, and I wish they did more of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origin Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Ugh, I’m kindof obsessed with this Flower Mound show. It’s so weird! Having two jam out (idk what to call it lol) sections back to back was interesting. I wasn’t expecting to see the full show! I’ve definitely seen video of them giving a cleaner performance, but ima blame the heat. Still don’t know if I love the field setup (seeing band and guard members going through the front ensemble scares me lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandFan59 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Flower Mound improved so much in a week from the Wylie competition! Visually their forms were impeccable and they still sound phenomenal. The first opening hit is one of my favorites this season. The playfulness and theme of the show is starting to come together for me, I really enjoyed the choreography with the battery and front ensemble jamming out. I still don't know if this is a Grand Nationals winning show, but it's definitely going in the right direction. FloMoParent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmartin1056 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 My top 3 after prelims: Hebron - Music, GE marcus - Visual Flower Mound All 3 were stellar in their own right, I just wasn’t super wowed by Flower Mound when compared to the other 2. I won’t be surprised if they win prelims based on how early the other 2 went, but I think that the prelims placements will change tonight.
