Definitely a fun show! The battle scenes were intense!

[Tubalord11]

Amazing performance from Forney! The battle scene was so cool, and the music went with it perfectly! Huge ensemble sound, really cool and fun drill, and the soloist were on fire! Hope we get to see that again this evening, wonderful job Forney!

The one kid that stood on it. That’s incredible focus. I can’t step off an unexpected curb let alone stand on a rifle!

[JFNDOWBFAN]

Azle, so much to see from a band this size. Kids should be proud. Loved the strength of the Tubas. 
 

Now forgive me as i pass out before JFND!!!

wait there was a rifle?

[Tubalord11]

Such a powerful sound from Azle! Love the CP 22 opener, percussion was really strong and who doesn’t love Hymn of Axium for a ballad! Could definitely see them taking a state spot at area, great job Azle!

There was a wooden rifle or something laying about the 43 yard line for 2nd half of show!

[Tubalord11]

Great performance from Rockwall! That opening statement is so powerful! Great moments from the different sections, some drops in the guard but they did a great job overall! Another band I’d watch out for at Area C! Also, my phone is about to die, so I’ll be gone till the do awards. Good luck to Lake Ridge and Lake Highlands!

Did anyone see Lovejoy this morning?

 

They just finished their UIL region contest and received straight 2nd divisions. Is this reasonable?

Yes, they had a great performance this morning and also at region, just went overtime by 2 seconds, so hopefully they can finish their season with a class win

That’s a tough way to go. Look the other way timer ⏱️ 

[Robert Scotts]

Loved all the bands today(especially Waxahachie!) but unfortunately had to leave because my grandpa had some war flashbacks. Go Army!

Yeah, it seems the timer on the field was apparently 10 seconds behind without Lovejoy knowing, so they may reverse the score but I doubt it. Sounds like the thought they finished right at the end mark, who knows

Thank him for his service! I hope he is doing okay!

[Magma31651]

Honestly have no idea how this is gonna turn out 😆

[CosmicLimbo]

Darn I’m nervous lol

[Tubalord11]

Great shows by Lake ridge and highlands, both have a solid shot at finals! At this point idk who’s gonna get in, just praying Lovejoy wins AA after what happened to them at region (got a 2 for going 2 seconds overtime :/)

[CosmicLimbo]

Final prediction 

1-2 (interchangeable): Wakeland, Keller 

2-5 (interchangeable): Timber Creek, Prosper, LD Bell

6-9 (interchangeable): Southlake, Keller Central, Henny train, Waxahachie 

Bloodbath for the last 3 spots: Forney, Dville, Lake Highlands, McKinney, Boyd, Lake Ridge, Berkner, Rock Hill

 

Great job to all the bands though this is already proving to be an amazing contest. Can’t wait for finals!

Another 3-way tie!?

[GeekBoy54]

This is now the 3rd 3 way tie in BOA history, and the second one this season.

Outstanding Music Performance (4A) - Prosper, Timber Creek, LD Bell.

And yes, all 3 of the 3-way ties in BOA's history have happened in Texas, because of course they have.
