CTJ is starting their villain ark.  

[Origin]

Had me STRESSED with Carmel still left to be announced and and one spot left for Keller, Bowie, CTJ, or Dripping Springs to be announced. 

Sad to see 3 Texas bands miss finals. But they could not have been too far out.

Also, it looked like one of the Pearland DM's fainted, please keep us updated, she didn't look okay......

Sorry bro, they drew a really bad semis-spot unfortunately, but they had an incredible season and should be proud of what they accomplished this year, and I'm sure they will be back towards the top next season!

I know, but there were only two bands left to announce at that point, and Carmel had to be one of them, so I had no idea which other Texas band made it.

They were talking about prior to the Keller announcement 

[GeekBoy54]

I am in pure disbelief. I did not expect 3 Texas bands to miss finals. Ugh.

Heartbroken for James Bowie, CTJ, and Dripping Springs.

I am very interested to see just how close it was to the cutoff for finals. To be honest, I did not expect for some of those other bands to advance, but that's why I'm not a judge.

Congratulations to Hebron, Pearland, Keller, Round Rock and The Woodlands for moving on to finals.

James Bowie, CTJ, Dripping Springs, we love you, and we are so proud of the work you've done this whole season. You reperesented yourselves and the state of Texas well.

I’m heartbroken, but they represented Texas with grace. I hope they will come back next season stronger.

It was like right before they announced DM's dismissed 

[Origin]

I realllly thought Dripping Springs was going to make it. That semis performance was incredible and they should be so proud to end their season with that.

Gutted for CTJ. Performance times were not their friend this season.

The medics are with the Pearland DM and she appears to be ok. 

[Tubalord11]

Shoutouts to CTJ, Dripping Springs and James Bowie on an amazing season! Was hoping we could see all 8 txbands in finals, but this is by far the most competitive GN's ever, but ya'll all had an amazing season and should be proud of yourselves for getting this far. Thank you all for the hard work and dedication you put into your amazing shows for us to enjoy!

I am glad! I hope she’ll be alright, needs a lot of rest in between the finals performance time.

Finals will be a bloodbath

It might be for a couple of bands. But for the most part, there will likely be gaps between the majority of them. To me, this year was not as competitive as most years.

[Tubalord11]

Great performance spot for Hebron to take it all. I know they were 4th (most likely) in semis, but we have no idea how close it was, but if their was a slot for them to perform at and win, it would be the one they are in. Will be a very interesting night to say the least, can't wait!
