packwick Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 i was curious about the SW scores bc that 95.5 seemed really high compared to what im used to seeing after prelims, uuusually like 92-94. tuuurns out that's the highest sw prelims score since at least 2010. even higher than when Avon set the SW record in 2019. oooo lawd!

I also think audio is very necessary to understand my reaction lol. If the Bellevue video they have up on YouTube is indicative of what they did today, it does all feel very *choose your own adventure* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, today’s was completely different. It wasn’t even necessarily the performance that was baffling. I’m more talking about how the show started and the frankly irresponsible situation that the performers were put in today. I don’t think an explanation would do it justice, it’s definitely a “you just had to be there” situation. They’re rebroadcasting prelims tomorrow though. stellamo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubisco Posted April 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Also a shoutout to Clear Brook for earning the 2nd highest A score in prelims yesterday. Hoping they keep it up and earn a medal in finals! I'm going to start dipping into the shows later tonight. Difficult to find time during the week!

Tubalord11 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 The Woodlands was incredible today! It felt more together than yesterday as a whole, and I don't think they had any drops! The ending was much cleaner than yesterday, but Avon also did fantastic. I don't know if the Woodlands will pass them, but both were great!

Tubalord11 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Also, Rock Hill with a 90.090, congratulations! I haven't been able to catch them yet, but definitely will tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Wow tarpon, just wow! I would be pretty surprised if the scores aren't a bit closer after today, however, everyone killed it! I see why Carmel scored so high yesterday, and they probably will be our champs this weekend, but honestly, after today, I feel like anything could happen. Great performances all around!

Origin Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Was only able to catch Carmel in SW because of class. Definitely not their best performance in the first half of the show, but they brought it back. Nailed those sit roll tosses and everything at the very end! Still leading Tarpon decently comfortably. TWHS jumped up to being solidly in 3rd, yay!! I don’t know if it’s because Avon was weaker or the judges realized how good TWHS is.

I’m not really surprised at all, TW are just peaking right now, and I think the judges are realizing how good they are! I think tomorrow, we could honestly see some more movement, but I don’t think Avon will be in the top 3, and I think Tarpons got a decent chance of passing Carmel, but probably won’t happen.

packwick Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 happy for twhs, didn't catch the others but i was thinking "if they don't make top 3 after that performance it isn't happening" bc it was their best yet probably. actually they've been very consistent since state. excellence seems on par w/ vocab. hope they keep it up. semis result is prob how i would have them in terms of gaps going into contest, would have switched Tarpon and Carmel. Carmel = super polished and great, consistently clear and compelling staging but not as engaging emotionally for me as Tarpon.

I will admit, there are times where I feel like the music becomes too much of a focus, and it may be something the judges are feeling. If they’d just lower the volume a little, I think it could benefit them. Definitely think they still have a serious chance of winning tomorrow night.

Tubalord11 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 My goodness Clear Brook is killing it! A 94 flat is semis! Looking like they could bring home the gold!

J-Mike16 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 I've been watching Scholastic Open Semi-Finals for most of the day. They have all been killing it so far!

Origin Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Reiterating how much I absolutely love Somerset Academy. Easily one of my favorites in any class this year. I was actually really impressed with the entirety of SO Semis. The prelims scores seemed low so the performances definitely exceeded my expectations.

Tubalord11 Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 Such a beautiful performance from SLC! I really hope they crack into the 90s this evening, because they definitely deserve too! Absolutely killed the final performance. Great job Southlake Carrol!!! Origin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 The fact that Rock Hill is only in their 3rd year of existence and they are already that good is just so impressive! One of my favorite shows this year, and tonight they brought their all! Incredible job Rock Hill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubisco Posted April 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 Southlake Carroll and Rock Hill both slayed! Amazing job by those girls. Two of my favorite floors for sure this season, too. Aren't they gorgeous? I also love all the little science fiction movie references in SLC. "I can't let you do that, Dave..." 😄 I'm so happy to see Rock Hill here. My first impression seeing that show from the Coppell preview was that it looked like an A finalist, but throughout this season they haven't really been scored that way. But now, here they are! And it's well-deserved! Tubalord11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
