itsjaredh97 Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Westwood needed those couple days of rest and rehearsal so bad. That was definitely their best run of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should compete in BOA Grand Nationals one year. With how much they’ve been climbing up in the ranks, they have a strong chance of winning.  In case you haven't figured it out, Hebron skipped BOA SA to go to Grand nats this year lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BandFan95 Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Hearing y'all say that about Westwood makes me so happy. I was in a meeting and didn't get a chance to see them, but I of course love them unconditionally. They had their last practice last night and the parents were all emotional. It was so sweet to see on social media. So happy for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symphbee Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 The Crockett sax soloist was INSANELY good oh my gosh!!! And what an adorable show from Crockett - well done! Austen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard Core Band Fan Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Good to see Crockett at competitions again. I have great memories of them at UIL State in the late 1980's when they were one of the best marching bands in Texas. I believe they were 2nd in 1988 when only 5 bands were selected for finals.

symphbee Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Round Rock - they didn’t have me in the first half, I’m not gonna lie - BUT their ballad really peaks super beautifully and the closing was just fantastic!! I love when a band really waits until the end to give us their all and Round Rock did that so perfectly! Bravo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packwick Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 vista has left them all speechless. im not actually watching right now, doing some make up time for work. i think it's funny they've brought in all the Indiana ppl to judge music here lol. also seeing Jay Kennedy again, ruh roh lol. isn't he the one who had FloMo not even making finals in Music GE in 2021? that was interesting!!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symphbee Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Vista was really solid! That Through the Fire and the Flames closer is super fun! Has anyone today seen both Westwood AND Round Rock? Interested to see how people think they compare. TromboneW and Austen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VistaGuardDad Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 I quite enjoyed CTJ's show. The flamingos running around the field and the flamingo formations were fun. I can't help but think though that being fun hurts them. It always seems to me that fun shows are penalized by judges.

Absolutely loved it! I think it’s their visual that the judges will be hard on - I don’t think amount of fun and score have a linear relationship haha Brass mom, GeekBoy54 and VistaGuardDad 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to compare the two when their shows and styles are completely different but I’m confident they were both executed well enough to where we’ll see them both in finals.

You can really tell the kids have great visual awareness and stage presence - so the visual definitely was the highlight for me. The soloists in the ballad were fantastic and the woodwind feature in the closer was really clean! AgMarchMom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked clean, sounded great, and did a good job of really stretching the field. The soloists were on point and seemed to be having a great time. The book fire "trick" was really neat!

I’m a sucker for woodwind runs so I loved the run/feature they did in the closer! That book looking prop with the fire coming out of it was freaky 😮 lol. I thought the brass did well with the rite of spring triple tonguing feature. They sound like they’ve done a good job at refining their performance because it was very solid and clean all around, imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
