abtwitch Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 After watching some of their competitors, I think Round Rock's chances are looking pretty good. DB and Wando don't seem to have cleaned up enough musically and aren't visually stunning enough to push them over Round Rock. I think the last 2 spots will be an absolute bloodbath between Fishers, Mason, and Round Rock. Maybe Brownsburg in there too, we'll see how they do tomorrow.

KeatonBaritone Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 I found Wando’s show to be very enjoyable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Ronald Regan- Wow! That was fantastic! I personally heard a couple of things in the high brass, but nothing they can’t clean for finals! Visually it looked amazing! Great job guys! Also- does anyone know the theme of Blue Springs show?

Popular Post jmj Posted November 12, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Wow, FloMo!! I am blown away - they are firing on all cylinders this AM. Like a jolt of electricity and so energetic! Fantastic job! dfwbandmom, slowbrass, Tubalord11 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post natertater21000 Posted November 12, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 I can only hear what the box5 mics are picking up, but it sounds like FloMo was able to fix a majority of the ensemble tuning issues they were having. That performance felt just the slightest bit unstable from a timing standpoint but I have no doubt that that was the weakest performance we will see from them this weekend. What a stellar show. Also that field exit announcement script is EVERYTHING. First time hearing it and I love it so much.

Popular Post FloMoParent Posted November 12, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 I have been able to watch a little bit so far. I liked what CTJ brought last night. Was my first time to see them this year. With most CTJ shows I need to see them a few times to really get into it. I can't wait to see them twice more. Great show. Marcus, I was blown away. I thought their drill was amazing (again, I am a novice and don't know anything). I'm a bit OCD, straight lines and precise shapes really please my eye, and hurt when they are off. Marcus marching was eye candy to me. I'm sorry that I didn't get to see Ronald Reagan. I am sure they put on an amazing show and I will see them in semi's Vista Ridge - great job. I want to comment more, but I was busy getting the house ready for people to come over so I was a bit distracted. What I saw and heard I really liked. FloMo - That was the best run I've seen for them so far. I could not hear any tone issues like were mentioned for UIL. ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE SUSA FEATURE!!! Let's go #TeamTexas! Bring Kevin back south for the winter. jmj, CTJBandPops and Mash 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Vista was amazing! Still a few things here and there but overall really good! Flowermound definitely had their best run yet! Definitely much fixed up from State! Mash and FloMoParent 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SATXBandDad Posted November 12, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Man, I just love The Woodlands. This show is so fun. Not sure if anyone is a Schitt’s Creek fan but I can hear Patrick singing “Willkommen” and Stevie singing “Maybe this time” every time they play! I’m a casual band parent (don’t know much about marching band) and I want to say Thank you to The Woodlands for keeping it fun!! Traditional marching band has its place and will usually get all the love from the judges but the fun shows are for me!!!

principalagent Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 I was sitting in a far recess of the 300 club level for a work call, and the crowd was so ON FIRE for TWHS that I heard the applause clearly, distracting me from my call and reminding me of the joy I was missing.

justabandkid94 Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 It is pretty surreal to see how much that Woodlands guard has transformed in the last 10 years.

The top 22 scoring bands will have performance slots 5-26. Bands that scored 23-30 will have performance slots 1-4 and 27-30. Any band that makes semifinals as a class representative, but not on score, will perform prior to (read very early in the morning) slot 1. All class representatives will perform prior to the first band that advanced on score. Does this make sense?

Rubisco Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Lots of great performances so far! I preferred Avon to Carmel on the strength of Avon's performance. I thought Avon sounded and looked pretty close to normal, which is extremely impressive. Carmel has amazing content, though, especially that music book, which I think could push them higher in the effect caption. William Mason's music performance should elevate them ahead of the rest of the finalist bubble. I thought they were one of the very best sounding groups last night. Perfect, no, but given the competition, they didn't have to be. I'm still not a big fan of the show overall, but part of that is my expectations having heard the theme before seeing the show. With a Top Gun theme, I was expecting something more fun and corny, and something more visually inventive, too. The green Air Force uniforms are cool in theory, and look good close up, but are probably a bit of a design misfire in practice. The kids are like ghosts on the field. When they took off their jackets and revealed their white shirts underneath, the show became just about a thousand times more readable from high up. I loooved Plymouth-Canton's design! I've seen the restaurant thing done before, but this was next-level. Absolutely witty and delightful. I love all the characters and amazing set pieces we're getting these days. The world of marching band has really been cracked wide open, and it's refreshing. Also, I was waiting for a customer Karen moment in the voiceovers, and PCEP delivered! All those waiters scrambling to serve her, dishes crashing onto the floor -- just brilliant! The Texas groups we've seen so far have all given great performances. I'd have all of them in finals, at least on the strength of music. Flower Mound and The Woodlands were the two that I thought were pretty all-around outstanding. For those asking, The Woodlands' music is "Overture/And All That Jazz" from Chicago, "Willkommen" from Cabaret, "Cell Block Tango" from Chicago, "Roxanne" by The Police (the version you hear in Moulin Rouge, "El Tango De Roxanne"), "Maybe This Time" from Cabaret, and "We Both Reached For The Gun" from Chicago. The fight for finals is going to be VERY intense. I thought a lot of the bubble groups were pretty close in quality. VinoGirl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
