BandFan59 Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 First time watching MG Johnson this season and I was very impressed. They have really strong sounds and the marching technique was pretty uniform across the field. Pop songs can be difficult to pull off in marching shows but I thought they did well with Get Lucky. Should be a definite medalist tonight and very likely a finalist in Indianapolis in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BandFan59 Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Leander was much improved from when I last saw them at BOA Austin. Visually they may not be as good as they have been in recent years, but they still sound phenomenal, especially the brass. Very good performance from them!

The judges should allow you to submit a recording of your show if you have to drop out, then you can get a least some feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Inspirational Pinecone Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 So I'm more of a casual fan of marching band and DCI so I can confidently say I had never heard of MG Johnson until I saw that they were going to Grand Nats. I wasn't sure what to expect from them because Texas is SO competitive but holy... reminds me of Vista in 2018 cause I had never heard of them before either and they came out of nowhere and took State. Excited for them to go to Indy and represent Texas! BudaBandDad and Tubalord11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was our first time signing up for BOA and we made 6th our first try in FINALS. Really good way to end things for seniors cause they’ve never been to any BOA. I’m actually a freshmen but even still I got extremely teary eyed at the end of BOA because of how much i would miss the feeling of it. all the running and yelling and screaming and wanting to quit was and I’m not ready for that but I know we left our absolute best a Baylor stadium. GO NORTH!!! Bro y’all’s show was amazing! That tap dancer was insane and y’all have such a great and big brass sound for y’all size! Congratulations on such an incredible season!

Tubalord11 Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Okay everyone, now that this comp is over and I've got some free time, here's my full breakdown on the contest. I'm goanna do prelims first and then finals. I was only able to attend the first two blocks of prelims, but I had a friend there for the whole thing and got his feedback (we marched together so I trust his feedback). Prelims: Overall great stuff from everyone. You could definitely feel the emotions coming from the kids and this was most everyone's final comp who was here. The weather was defiantly a major factor, especially during the first two blocks, but for the most part the kids were able to push through. I will admit, I was really surprised that Hays nor McCallum made finals, but I don't know how I'd have out of finals. Of course, the obvious two would be Richland, who did have some electronic issues in prelims, but again I'm no judge. McCallum in 19th though just doesn't make sense, however, it seemed like this show seemed to do better at UIL judged comps than boa, and it just goes to show how different the two are. they were 3rd at area finals and then 19th here behind bands like LASA and Pieper who were at area D with McCallum and didn't even make finals. But then I remembered they were at the Vista Marching Comp which uses boa judging and they were 7th in finals. But overall, a really great prelims! Finals: I don't think I could have agreed more with the rankings. We all knew who would when and sweep captions, and I had my top 6 predictions in the right order so that was nice. However, the bottom six was kind of surprising to me. I thought personally Richland and Heritage would be one and two, but then it was Lovejoy and Argyle, which of course I couldn't have been happier about being a Lovejoy alum, but then after looking at the recaps, it did all make sense. It again goes to show just how different UIL and BOA judge. Roma, Richland, Heritage and Argyle were within the top four at area, and BC having a great season as well, but then Lovejoy, who was 9th at area finals, is able to top these groups and get 7th. This was again why I didn't make my predictions based on area, because I personally think it's not a great comp to use for as a representation of the bands. And of course, we had some major jumps from prelims to finals. Lovejoy- 10th-7th Roma- 8th- 12th And of course, a few more but again weather not being an issue made a huge difference for those groups who had to go earlier in the day. Just another amazing contest and being their live for finals was so special. Congrats again to all the bands who were here!!! tamago1 and highbrassfeature 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 Also, if anyone got a video of Lovejoy and Argyle, could you please dm me? I’ve been looking for Lovejoy mainly as that’s my Alma Matar but wouldn’t mind either, or really just any of the finalist bands. Have found barely anything on YouTube.
