I also can’t get enough of how pretty Ice Dance sounds!☺️☺️ They’re a band that does a good job of playing within themselves. Not too loud or too soft. Just the right amount of support in the sound at various volume levels. Jacob2017 and Vidal28 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how potent TC’s sound is! And how well the woodwinds shaped those phrases, all while maintaining great tuning. And those little da-DA moments in the big hits! Very easy for someone to play in the space but they stayed together very well. Vidal28 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see my analysis for TC above your comment. They were a cleaner version of what I wrote today than at BOA Dallas. And maintained the integrity of the ensemble’s sound stronger as well. Also today I think the woodwind feature in the closer could’ve been cleaner, it was a little unsteady. I think they were just nervous.

I’ll add to that in saying they place solidly at a BOA Prosper or Waco, top half or just below it more than likely, it’s just more stacked typically. They have some timing issues in their woodwind features sometimes, but I can overlook it with the consistency and clarity of their tone, along with the brass of course, they give UIL judges very little to complain about haha. Aside from their explosive hit in the beginning they’re very inside-the-box clear and clean with their sound, no harshness to it at all! They’re just a very solid all-around group that is continuing to perform their show at a high level, they should make state without question for me emsylve, Dallas Hobbs and JWork 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the softer bands we’ve heard today for sure, but they all make the effort to have a characteristic sound on their horn, and it’s all you can ask for. Plus the theatrics and zaniness that often comes with a burton show haha Dallas Hobbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Vidal28 Posted October 29, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Lake ridge is a group with obvious strengths, killer brass, specifically their low brass, and excellent woodwinds. They’ll be in finals, you also feel like they’re a state contender with the right time slot, as with many groups here today, that’s what it could come down to👀 Mom0220, frenchhornnn, Band_Daddy and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vidal28 Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 For me when I last saw HP at BOA my main issue with them I felt they had to work out were timing issues, there were quite a few in their show and today for the most part besides a few scant moments, they cleaned those up a lot, especially in the woodwind choir parts in their closer. My main concern with them today was tuning, especially with their soloists, although that’s not unique to them with the weather we’re having today. Something that needs adjusting between now and hopefully a finals performance from them! They had a great performance otherwise Dallas Hobbs and VinoGirl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just played within themselves. Great, clean sounds all around! Loved the grantham woodwind feature! Superb control in those quick, articulated 8th-note sections.

Popular Post AMC Posted October 29, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Lake Ridge… WOW! Amazing performance even despite the weather and such a clear and clean sound. That low brass/trombone sound is incredible. Definitely can secure a spot for state, in my opinion. Coppell- Beautiful show! Their theme is so fun and I love the look. Their color guard is really amazing, and had amazing visuals. Such a fun show to watch. Really great sound too, very clear. Definitely shows their state level performance skills.
