In addition to the two Leander 6A bands finishing 1st and 4th at San Antonio BOA, their three 5A bands that made state finished between 6th and 10th. Another 5A band, Wakeland, also made finals (13th). That seems like a darn good showing for 5A bands. Monday should be a fun competition for state prelims.

genuinely excited for tomorrow and can’t wait to see what all goes down.

Well the event is underway!

Sharyland Pioneer-

First off, the pre-opener threw me off 😆. Took me a minute to realize that their pre-opener is them walking to their spot. The show was very fascinating! The idea of the different stages of metal put into different movements, really cool! They sounded very nice musically, and had an overall good marching performance. I really loved the use of Sound garden's Black Hole Sun in their third movement! Overall, amazing performance Pioneer and congratulations on Advancing to State!

 

Edit- Just noticed 2 things, they had a Bassoon solo, which is really unique, and also, this was a steam punk based show!

College Station-

I really liked the show! The use of David Bowie and Pink Floyd made for a really interesting show! The ballad was really good and the closer was really nice, and paid a tribute to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon! Congratulations to College Station!

 

I'll be signing off now, best of luck to the rest of the 5A bands!!
