packwick Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 darn. less spicy results at Indy Super than expected. was hoping WM or BS would crash the top 2. Avon and Carmel on top by over a point, thin margin b/w 2 despite near caption sweep by Avon. Avon becomes frontrunner at Nats w/ Carmel nipping at heels.

Dallas Hobbs Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 I’m rooting for prosper to make finals bc their show is one of my favorites this year! Also I’ll try and make finals placements predictions once they’re all selected. There are too many bands for me to try and do prelims and semis placement predictions 😩 Rubisco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubisco Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 I haven't watched most of the out of state bands in a while. I do know that Carmel came out on top over Avon at State in ISSMA, but I'm sure it was close enough that it could swap back again at Nats. I'm wondering where Tarpon Springs will fit in. I actually quite enjoy the show, but the other top bands may be a little more refined in both performance and design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandFan59 Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 Final Predictions: Avon (V/GE) Carmel (M) Broken Arrow Tarpon Springs William Mason Dobyns-Bennett M&G Johnson Fishers Brownsburg American Fork Prosper Mustang I think the Eagle will go to one of Avon or Carmel. Broken Arrow and Tarpon Springs are contenders as well but I feel Avon and Carmel are just a bit better this year. Love Mason's show and think they shouldn't be counted out for a potential medal either. DB is a step below the top 5 this year but they still have a good show that should round out the top half comfortably. After that is where it gets pretty messy as the bubble this year is pretty massive. I'm thinking at least two Texas bands get into finals, with M&G Johnson the most likely and the other three probably more of a tossup. There are definitely some really good Indiana bands this year though, and I loved Mustang's show at St. Louis, so the fight to get into finals will be very tough.

You were on the money at the UIL. You have to give us your feedback on the Prelims. Don't do a play by play... but atleast predict the semi-finalists. Also, I repeat, go to Vegas and bet on this. If they don't take your bet, fly to Ireland or the UK. They will give you odds on ANYTHING. Dallas Hobbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Origin Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Carmel could win if they keep performing like that. Seems like Brownsburg bit off too much this year. Or maybe I’ve just been spoiled by the level of execution the top Texas bands get to at the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BandFan59 Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Have been quite busy all day so have only really got to catch the last few bands starting with Carmel. Thought they were really good and can see why they won ISSMA. They have nice full sounds musically that are really well controlled, especially in those softer moments. The pink streamers at the end were a nice touch and will probably earn them some nice VGE points. Brownsburg was solid but musically they've definitely got a few issues, with some blown releases and just rough sounds from the brass. Avon was fantastic. Nice and powerful sounds on a pretty difficult music book and while they may not have been quite as clean visually as Carmel, the uptick in difficulty should balance it out.

BandFan59 Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Great performance by SLC to end the day! I'm not entirely sure what the show is about but I enjoyed watching them nonetheless. Musically they sounded excellent and far better than some of the other bubble bands I caught in the last block. Visually there is still some dirt, especially near the end, but it's definitely much cleaner than when I first saw them at Bedford. Still firmly in the conversation for finals!

Didn’t broken arrow use a fog machine in their 2012 show? Did this rule exist at that point or is there a loophole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
