Origin Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Here’s how I would rank the last 6 bands: Flower Mound Hebron Marcus Coppell Keller LD Bell I have no clue how I would rank the other half, but I could see Wakeland or Timber Creek move into the top half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sets them apart for me from other groups is the power of the low brass; I could hear them so distinctly throughout the entire opener. The visual book might not be super difficult but it is executed very well, and the technical abilities of their trumpets and mellophones are unmatched. Their woodwinds have always been phenomenal, especially the saxophones. I cannot say enough just how good the Hebron winds are. They are the best sounding band in the state for me. Edit: I also forgot to mention how I love that the last set of the show spells out Hebron like they're signing off on the show. Nice little drill design there. Thank you for verifying the Hebron signature at the end of the show. I saw them this morning and thought it said that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Vidal28 Posted October 10, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 I definitely have my preferred choice of the winner in Hebron tonight, the musicality is just simply off the charts, my fav sections being the low brass all day every day with just how they were able to bring out this dark sound even further from Hebron that we don’t usually hear them have a full musical program of. For FloMo I will definitely say their opener is fantastic, I very much love the presentation of the whimsy and oddities that the show has to offer, along with the amazingly talented soloists they posses at the start. Their woodwinds are incredible, so much to enjoy about their show, but to me, nothing beats just how locked in Hebron was in tackling that repertoire and leaving me flabbergasted? FloMo’s has lots of heart and is so well-produced I’m very much hoping they contend at Grand Nats?? but I’m hoping Hebron wins tonight! jmartin1056, FloMoParent and Parkwoodmom 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmartin1056 Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Poor Hebron ? always in that 2nd place spot. Definitely earned that music caption. Spread is a little bigger than I expected. Guess GE really boosted FloMo Origin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post An Inspirational Pinecone Posted October 10, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Is it just me or is the top half bottom half split getting out of hand? I feel like there shouldn't have been that big of a score gap between Bell and Wakeland right? jmj, Nny14, peshbandkid and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origin Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Congrats Flower Mound!!! Extremely well deserved! I think the gap between Bell and Wakeland is way too big, but that’s pretty common with the top and bottom 6 format. Keller in 4th! Huge improvement from HEB. I though Coppell had them beat, but it’s easy to get distracted and equate props with a higher score (although it was super close.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandFan59 Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Hebron really is forever the bridesmaid. That said, Flower Mound was PHENOMENAL tonight, and definitely earned that championship. I think I generally agree with the results, but I do think the gap between the top and bottom half isn't as big as the scores make it seem. Unfortunately that's just something that happens since that rule was introduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden_devoe Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 I remember competing at BOA DFW when I went to Southlake Carroll about 6 years ago and we placed almost dead last in prelims. Proud to see them fight and climb year after year. All Texas bands are absolutely insane and talented, and even those who don’t get the results they want are still among the best in the nation. Texas marching band will always make me proud. josephbandfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BandFan59 Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Wow, the scores in prelims were incredibly tight at 5-7. LD Bell was 0.05 points above Timber Creek, who was 0.15 points above Wakeland. Really goes to show how influential the top half bottom half splits are when you compare those results to the finals results. Then you have Keller a full point above LD Bell, and Coppell over two points above Keller. Very fascinating stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all TX regionals so far, there have been no cases of a bottom 6 band moving into top 6 after finals… Wakeland definitely seemed like a massive improvement in their prelims to finals and I would have had them in top 6 for sure.

Prelims even in the top 3 was a lot closer then it was in finals. the difference between 6th and 7th in prelims vs finals is VERY VERY interesting.

Origin Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Interesting things from the recaps: Keller 1st in individual visual by quite a bit. Bell going from 15th to 3rd in visual GE. The visual GE scores were all over the place in prelims. I agree with them in finals especially with how it’s Keller and Wakeland’s weakness.

avgbandfan5 Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Timber creek in 7th by a close margin with 6th and placed 4th in music and 2nd in visual ensemble, I think the top and bottom half split screwed them over Origin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we are looking at is two seperate competitions in finals. One for 7-12 and one for 1-6. The entire BOA structure is wack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubisco Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Scores are a little bit... low... at the top. I was expecting Flower Mound to be closer to Reagan's 88 from last week. Maybe that's kind of the cost of having a quirky show. (The "cost." Let's face it, Flower Mound did fantastic here. 87 is a huge number for October 9th.) Hebron's score is actually lower than what The Woodlands got 2 weeks ago, which is concerning. But maybe this was just a really stingy panel. I wouldn't be surprised to see Hebron break into the top three at San Antonio, but the competition is definitely going to be fierce. Marcus got a solid score here, but again, not quite as high as I would have expected. Great to see Coppell in 5th (close to 4th)! That's where I would have had them going into the contest. Big things in the future for this group! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubisco Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Actually, looking through the scores, it seems like it was Individual Visual performance that kept the scores a bit deflated. And it wasn't just in one round. Those scores were low in both rounds with two different judges. Might be a sign of something for all the groups to work on!
