I still have the email wrong in your post. Ugh I’m so weary I’m not thinking straight!  It’s music@uiltexas.org. 

Oh so that’s what was happening? I was wondering why I got a notification that you replied to my comment but when I clicked nothing popped up😩

Am I the only one who is getting every full band sound as if it’s played backfield despite it being blasted on the sideline?🙄

All I can hear are the soloists and pit sounds. I can hardly hear the band

Yep, it’s like the only mic that’s live is the one by the pit speakers. All I heard was synth and soloists.

Same. That was my first time to see Clear Brook this year - quite disappointing to not be able to hear everything.

Seems they fixed it. Starting to think for Clear Brook that maybe the sinth was turned up way to high, because for Marcus and Permian it was just fine.

Check your audio outputs. Uncheck any compression (loudness, balance volume, limiter, etc...) in audio processing.

That was my thought too. I've definitely been there - it's so hard to catch that and adjust mid-performance when you're in front of the speakers the whole time.

NFHS ruined both the Marcus and Clear Brook livestreams.   
 

what a shame.

Ruining Marcus should be a crime

What a run from Dawson!!! I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH!!! Again, and I said it during San Antonio, I love their arrangement and use of Bohemian Rhapsody!!! A great run if it's their last, but wow, that was incredible! Also I'll be able to do updates for the remaining bands and all of finals tomorrow!

Which bands played wine dark sea?

That's funny, I know Wakeland and 1 other band did Wine Dark Sea last year. I wonder if that's just coincidence.

Both Klein Oak and Harlingen played excerpts from the third movement, primarily the main theme.

I know both this year Mckinney and Mckinney Boyd have it in their show, but it's a good amount, probably around 10

It's a popular piece, and pretty much anything that John Mackey wrote translates well to the field.

My favorite thing is when bands use source music that was also used in DCI the summer prior, and enjoying the different nuances of both. It seems like every year I hear a school put something on the field I haven't heard before, and then I remember that *insert drum corps here* played it the summer before or something.

Amazing job Round Rock!!! I think they just had the best run of their season, and we will definitely be seeing them tomorrow! This show has grown on me so much, and they just killed it! Great job RR!!! 

[Dallas Hobbs]

Small thing but does anyone else expect the announcer to always say Flower Mound High School after they say “joining us from Flower Mound, TX…” like me? It always trips me up when they say Marcus instead😩

This high cam looks like a 2005 webcam smeared with vasoline…

It's even worse when they say "Flower Mound Marcus High School." Mainly because Marcus is about 20 years older than FMHS... 😂😳😫

How are the judges supposed to pick three medalists if there's four or five bands that are gonna show up and perform like Vandegrift just did? 

[Tubalord11]

Wow Vandegrift, just wow!!! Maybe just me, but that also seemed like their best run of the season!!! They killed the music and looked incredible! They are still hunting for another medal, and I could see it happening! But that was spectacular!!!!
