Majellan Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Wow, that’s a pretty good line up for wmi this year. Tempted to make the drive to Wylie for finals on this plus the rare chance to see Lebanon Trail outside of uil. I don’t remember Flower Mound or Keller Central attending wmi before.

This is KC’s first year, and FlowerMound went for the first time last, and obviously swept everything. Majellan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard kc practicing this morning at the high school while going for a walk in my neighborhood(heritage). I figured they were going to a contest today since practicing on Saturday morning only reason I logged on this morning. Band sounds great by the way, I like the score more than the last couple of years!! But Central always sounds great!! Good Luck!

Tubalord11 Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Contest is being live streamed. Change in schedule: Mansfield is going first in the first block rather than last, everything else is the same Origin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FormerWildcat Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 I'm going to watch some of the prelims performances online. I might skip some bands since I have to study for a fluid mechanics exam, but I'm going to comment on some of the more notable participants. wef and Tubalord11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FormerWildcat Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Legacy HS (6A) - "Clouds" I think the color guard instructor went to my high school, and if so, it's a nice start to his career. I appreciate the cloud touches on the podiums. Great soloists, especially the trombone with the "Thunder Road" introduction. Ensemble sound definitely needs to be improved for any shot at getting far in 6A Area B. I noticed multiple spacing issues, which I think is a big issue considering the drill isn't exactly complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerWildcat Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Summit HS (5A) - "The Circle's Edge" Always appreciate caped uniforms, and there was one particular great use of them in particular. Visual was overall fairly ambitious, but definitely far from spotless. Sound was good overall with the only real negative being that the low brass was a bit raspy in certain sections. I know that they just underwent major leadership changes, and if the directors stay on and gain more experience, I can see them remaining a perennial 5A contender.

Popular Post Tubalord11 Posted October 1, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Summit was good… but definitely can see the effects of the director change. Maybe it’s just the sound, but they sound so quite compared to the past few years. We unfortunately may not see them in finals. wef, Spitfire78 and FormerWildcat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerWildcat Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Lone Star HS (5A) - "Primal" EXCELLENT ensemble sound. "Hold On" can almost be considered a marching band cliche at this point, but this band put a completely fresh spin on it. Visuals were not only challenging and clean, but also really impactful. These performers put everything into this show. I would be very surprised to see them outside of finals not only here, but at BOA DFW.

FormerWildcat Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 McKinney Boyd HS (6A) - "Beacon of Hope" Very strong Hebron vibes here, and the execution is pretty solid. There are some rich ensemble sound and standout visual moments here. I'm not huge on the theme: it feels like given the title, they could have gone a little deeper. What was there was strong, but I do have some concern that none of the closer has been put onto the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerWildcat Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Liberty HS (5A) - "Queen Bee" This show's queen bee is a flute player, and she does a great job in her starring role. No props, but field images of hexagons and Carolina-style crowns aid in promoting the effect. While there were some nice moments musically, it didn't feel 100% locked in. While the drill had some inspired formations, the marching itself wasn't that clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerWildcat Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Lebanon Trail HS (5A) - "Tapestries" Opening had strong street band vibes. They use concert French horns and can really play them exceptionally. Overall ensemble sound and visuals were technically solid, but I'm not sold that they're the best Frisco ISD band at the contest.

LSUAlum Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Does anyone think that the finals will be livestreamed? I am guessing the athletic department must have a 3 hour time limit on their streams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
