Tubalord11 Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 That Rock hill band just blew this place away! Great amazing soloist all around, and I LOVE the shouting sections, super entertaining and really adds a lot of GE! They sound so good, and that percussion killed it, really hope they make finals bc I wanna see that again!! Great job Rock Hill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tubalord11 Posted October 14, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Thank y’all so much for the kind words, really means a lot! Every single band has been amazing, truly one of if not the best band contest I’ve ever been attendance in, although it’s gonna be hard to beat my first grand nats experience back in 2021, but everyone in the crowd has been eating up these shows, finals is going to be so electrifying!

Ik it’s quite literally BA 19, but they are performing the show at such a high level, if they finally make it back to the state comp, I could see them in finals. Duncanville was also one of my favorites, really rich sounds, but everyone had just been great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrenBS Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 My current top 10 (didnt see enough for a top 12+): 1. Keller 2. Wakeland 3. Waxahachie 4. Southlake Carroll 5. Prosper 6. McKinney Boyd 7. Rock Hill 8. Duncanville 9. Sachse 10. McKinney High Note that Im not exactly great with BOA predictions and this is from my head which is more 50/50 on cleanliness/GE rather than the 60/40 or more GE leaning that BOA is and from personal preference, so if something looks extremely off to yall, thats why😅, its a very tight competition which is very exciting!

Very solid, I’d personally switch prosper with Waxahachie, and maybe move up D-Ville a spot or 2, but yeah mine would probably be like this Yyz28 and TrenBS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicLimbo Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Halfway and these are the shows that’ve really popped for me are Southlake Carroll Dville Waxahachie: this group always plays with so much finesse and professionalism and this is no different. Keller: God I loved that that Mahler 2 closer. I’ve seen a lot of criticism towards Keller but I genuinely really like this show and believe it’ll do well in Indy come November! Rock Hill: Such a fun show and that shouting section had me hype. This show is packed with GE and I’m hoping they break into finals. Prosper: didn’t get to watch their show but heard they did very well. Wakeland: easily the winner for me of these first 2 blocks. Kept me on my toes the whole show with how powerful and cleanly they perform. Strong sections all around and man those mellos! Wonderful wouldn’t be surprised if they sweep captions!

I’m no GE expert, but it’s really just the development of the show through the music and drill/bodywork. It’s the band presenting themselves emotionally, the guard amplifying the show through difficult/ solo moments, and just conveying the theme! It’s definitely a more in depth thing, but that’s my broad explanation, but you can find the judge’s adjudication book on the MFA website and see what they are looking for themselves!

Alright cool, also do you know how much you paid for box5? My sister is getting it to watch me live since I told her she didn’t have to watch me (personal reasons).

For regional events like this one, you can purchase just prelims for 17 dollars, just finals for 17 dollars, or the whole contest (prelims AND finals) for 28 dollars.

LostChoirGuy Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Keep in mind that you can only watch these streams live, even if you have purchased them. If you miss the performance you can't go back and watch it. CosmicLimbo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the soundtrack match the movie and vice versa. And how well does it read to the audience and judges. Tubalord11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve improved so much since HEB, and are here to get their first boa win! I’d very surprised if they don’t make finals at nats this year, because that is one killer show! Wow wow wow, amazing job Keller! Not surprised to hear there’s been cleaning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear Prosper is performing it well! Not really a fan of that tbh!! Would rather programs be more collaborative with their designers instead of being shoved a show and be told, “here, do this”🙃 crunchycookie3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 That North show had everyone on their feet! It’s just something you could listen to all day long, literally a jazz band marching show, and it works so well! I do wonder how they will be judged visually, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they made the night show! Just such wonderful sounds, and the vocalist was great, amazing job MN!

Tubalord11 Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Solid performance from Creekview! Cool show, just need to clean up, but if they do so they might be able to sneak into area f Finals. Great job Creekview! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
