Indeed he was, had him his last year of teaching before he retired, still adjudicating many events as we’ve seen haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyazuu Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 Could anyone explain the connection to the dots and all the Mary Poppins-esque stuff with L.D Bell? I'm not entirely sure I understand what's being conveyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tubalord11 Posted November 5, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 WAY TO GO BLUE RAIDER BAND!!! They've got me in tears..... I remember when I saw the name for their show, I was a bit worried, but boy was I wrong, THIS SHOW IS INCREDIBLE!!!! Tons of VGE throughout the show with the many different formations of dots, soloist were on fire, guard was great, love their music book, this show is definitely one of my favorites of the year, and I'm so happy they made finals, definitely showed us why they were top half, I mean wow L.D. Bell, thank you so much for giving us that wonderful show to enjoy, and congratulations on an amazing season and a fantastic finals run!!!

ChristopherRoden Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 Wow LD Bell!! Such an emotional and beautiful show!! Love how “reset,” the quintessential band word, is conveyed by them ending their show in the same set as the beginning! And everyone bought in, electric run for sure. WOW!

Popular Post 11BandMan11 Posted November 5, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 BOA San Antonio might as well be called Grand Nationals - the depth at the contest is RIDICULOUS compared to every other BOA Contest in the country, especially when watching these finals performances. So. Freaking. Good. #TeamTexas all the way at GN this year and beyond! Bdc22, Austen, ChristopherRoden and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeekBoy54 Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 Great performance from LD Bell, and what an improvement they've made! From 22nd last year to a top half finish.

On the costumes, on the flags, on the props, and in the drill!

Popular Post Rubisco Posted November 5, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 LD Bell was a complete delight. I loved the costuming, the set pieces, the staging, the music, all of it. I also love that we're seeing more and more top high school bands that are directed by women! ❤️ crunchycookie3, Tubalord11, balumni2023 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
