BlastFromThePast Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Go TWHS! (my hometown). Love the tight design and focused energy of this show, been really fun to watch it develop over the season. Wondering if the relative sparseness of the music will be an issue in scoring.

I'm gonna go ahead and say them and Avon tie for visual, but they may take it simply because OF THAT OUT OF THIS WORLD GUARD!!! I think they could knock Carmel out of the top 3, but if they don't, they will be VERY close to getting 3rd, at least I'd hope. Musically, some stick outs, mainly in the low brass, but visually, perfect, and another band I see possibly taking the Eagle home, just need to clean up some musically tonight. But my goodness Woodlands, that was incredible! This run was a slight bit blemished compared to their prelims run - but still - top 2 or 3 IMO… A visual tie would be accurate 👍🏼 Tubalord11 and BlastFromThePast 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunchycookie3 Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Overall, Keller’s effect is SO GOOD. Their ballad is jaw-droppingly gorgeous. A couple of musically exposed moments seemed to not go their way this afternoon, I’m worried how that may affect them, but the strength of that closer just moved me to tears, and I hope the judges too. That closer may be my favorite Mahler 2 rendition from a high school! ChristopherRoden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeekBoy54 Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Keller's one of those groups that I think a lot of people underrank in their predicitons, but then they almost always show up when it matters and blow everyone away. Fantastic moments in Keller's show, their sound is by far their best asset! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Origin Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 A better visual run for Keller (yay fabric at the end working). Some small music issues that weren’t there yesterday, but still a great run. Didn’t even notice the drum major issues. crunchycookie3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 WAY TO GO BIG BLUE!!! Music is SO powerful, such rich and they play with such mature sounds! A couple uncharacteristic stickouts, but I think we will be seeing them again tonight, and if they don't make it, I'd be very shocked if they weren't the 1st out. GE has improved a ton over the season, that ending is just so so good, and visually they have cleaned up very nicely, amazing job Keller!

Yeah I saw the podium on the far left with nobody on it and not the other two and was like what's going on down there lol, but year sounds like they forgot them, but didn't seem to be an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post crunchycookie3 Posted November 11, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 I have a lot to say about this Mason show, which sure is pretty! I’m unsure that it will be vying for a top half spot in finals (in fact, I think a certain other Cartwright show maybe could edge them out.) I know there has been discussion at length about this on here, it just feels like a standard Cartwright show to me Sure is pretty, but doesn’t say a lot! To me, it feels like looking at a Thomas Kinkade painting. Wherever they land, it will make sense to me. If they’re up at the top, it’s because the judges rewarded the clearly amazing performance quality. If they’re a bit lower, it may be that judges want to see something new design-wise. Very beautifully executed! Nny14, Tubalord11 and TheBombDotDiggityCom 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubalord11 Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 HELLO WILLIAM MASON!!! Top 4 potential, for sure!!! Don't know over who, but I think design wise, best show here by a good amount! Pre/post-shows add so much! Guard was SO GOOD, those capes add some much color to the show, great ensemble sounds, staging was really good, I think they may surprise us tonight, can't wait to watch that again, amazing job William Mason!

packwick Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 lovely show from mason, very gentle. actually the guy next to me fell asleep during it LOL. i enjoyed it quite a bit, suuuuper elegant, but the capes seem like an overused vis effect for me, less effective as the show goes on. had trouble reading the drill at times too. but could crash the party.

Hack Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 What a unique show start by Lake Hamilton! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBombDotDiggityCom Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 I really want to say I liked Lake Hamilton but in all honesty I think the creative approach took too much away from what a show is supposed to be like. Not to mention the drumline was definitely the weak link for the band and ensemble timing, really made the show hard to enjoy. Hope they do well regardless.
