I thought Carmel and Avon had nice big sounds, but maybe my expectations were just too high. I thought other bands out played them today and had harder material that showed better musicianship. I'd love to be educated on why these two bands have been on top. I'm pretty critical and thought TW and Hebron were better overall, even Bentonville had moments that put them higher in my opinion.

BlastFromThePast Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Seems Hebron & Carmel will be duking it out at the top, and Avon & TW just under them. Agree we should probably (?) see a captions split, but there are always surprises. Amazing level of accomplishment by all these bands.

MarchingBandOG Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Carmels was a very symphonic performance...like Keller. However Keller's show moved me more, had more GE, and overall felt like a bigger achievement. Granted, I've seen Keller's show more times, and it's hard to not let familiarity come into play.

clarinetistkai05 Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 I am so proud of every Texas school. the school I’m most proud of is Keller. I had talked to a few of them at full retreat in Prosper, and they had so much passion for their show. They genuinely wanted to advance to finals in Grand Nationals, and I believe they are a lock for finals. Really really proud of you guys at Keller. 💙 Dallas Hobbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Hobbs Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 My Predictions in Alphabetical Order Top Half Avon Blue Springs Carmel Hebron William Mason The Woodlands Bottom Half Claudia Taylor Johnson Dripping Springs Fishers Keller Pearland Round Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeekBoy54 Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 My dream list for finals is all 8 Texas bands, Avon, Carmel, Blue Springs, and William Mason. Do I think it'll happen? No. Fishers, Brownsburg, and Bentonville all put up a good fight for finals. I'm secretly hoping there's a 4 way tie for 12th so we get all 15 of those bands in finals, I don't want to say goodbye to any of them! That's how good this Grand Nationals has been!

Dallas Hobbs Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 It’s incredible that none of us ever get our predictions exactly right lol. Like there’s always a group or two we under/over rank cuz we don’t see things the way the judges see them Tubalord11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like there’s always a group or two we under/over rank cuz we don’t see things the way the judges see them It's pretty much impossible for one untrained spectator to guess the collective opinion of 7 judges according to specific rubrics. There's also things like individual music where no one watching at home or even in the stadium will have the viewpoint the judge does.
