But how much does this support the true depth of Texas Marching Band talent when 3 great bands who would be in the mid level results in a Texas regional, probably would not have made finals in SA Super Regional, but are finalists at GN!!!!! Wish our best could go more often but just too costly and schedule is killer when UIL state goes to yearly in 2023. Hendrickson missed SA finals (25th place) but managed to finesse that Grand Nats finals spot. CHOO CHOO🚂 🤣 Also my goodness! 11 places away from SA finals but 3rd place in class 3A and a finalist at Grand Nats? Texas is brutal 🥵 Edited November 12, 2022 by Dallas Hobbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeKyu Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 It's great to see Henny, SLC, and Prosper all make finals. I believe that Johnson was harmed by their placement behind Broken Arrow and Avon. This is going to be a nail biting finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post packwick Posted November 12, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 haven't seen Mason. goin' into the contest my top 3 would've been Carmel, Avon, then Broken Arrow. not really digging BA's show this year. last year was a masterpiece, pure poetry, this yr is generic epicness and intensity w/ clunky set pieces. if u ain't entirely Cartwrighted out after this finals lineup u never will be. hahaha. 3 outta 4 tx bands make it into finals, 2 new ones. amaaazing. sad for M&G but they had a great season. SA is officially more competitive than Nats this yr at least. no big surprise there i'm sure. itsstephenyo, An Inspirational Pinecone and Dallas Hobbs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Hobbs Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 Also yay for Dobyns-Bennett to be in top half again since 2017 finals. The first time I’ve ever watched them was their 2016 show when they made finals for the first time and I’ve admired them ever since! Also in 2017 they crossed the bottom half/top half split (9th in semis to 6th in finals) and with these groups maybe this can happen again?

TxTrpt Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 I’m shocked M&G Johnson didn’t make it. Congrats on a great season though! I saw y’all in Midland and thought for sure you’d be a lock at GNs. Are they really only in their 4th year of existence? 🤯 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it'll never happen, but I wanna see a GN Finals with all TX bands lol.... Oh wait, that's just called BOA San Antonio. I just about fell outta my chair when they announced Castle in finals cuz it left me with a glimmer of hope that Hendrickson would make it in!

I believe that Johnson was harmed by their placement behind Broken Arrow and Avon. This is going to be a nail biting finals. I don’t really believe this to be the case all too much, usually if you’re able to hold your own against the giants, I believe, the judges give you credit and don’t bury you in the scores Many were predicting M&G to be a top 8 or so finalist. I would say that would be holding their own in the scores, I don’t believe they dropped to much as a result of being alongside those two groups, it could’ve boosted them as much as harmed them imo. Although my personal thoughts of M&G going into finals from what I was able to see previously were more of a “meh it’s alright” kind of feeling so it wouldn’t have been unexpected in my mind to think they could miss out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLC missed finals at BOA DFW and people immediately dropped them down a few pegs as opposed to simply waiting and seeing how they could develop as the season progressed, same with Hendrickson at BOA Austin(although they didn’t miss finals there). Every Texas band that attended grand nats took the “it’s a marathon, not a sprint” philosophy to heart here this season and it paid off for all of them, I’m sure M&G weren’t too far out from finals either, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens.

Origin Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 Prosper was just beautiful! When I first saw them on the HEB contest livestream, I had faith they would make finals here. Every time I see Hendrickson they just have the best energy. You can see how much they believe in their band and their show. Henny train!!! This is the second year in a row that Southlake Carroll has peaked at the last possible second to secure one final performance. From 13th at DFW and state alternate to top 12 here! Amazing showing in finals for Team Texas!!! Vidal28 and crunchycookie3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BandFan59 Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 Tried watching tonight's stream on my phone when I was away and on my laptop when I got home. Stream is truly horrible, the worst stream I've ever experienced. Horrible video quality, video freezing every few minutes. Also freezes when I try to full-screen so I can only watch in a tiny little box. Just so disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
