Completely deserved based on their performance today, their show appeared to be VERY difficult and it looks like it paid off! Also relieved to see Cedar Park in the top half - I think they have a good shot to end up with a medal tonight, can't wait to see how they (and all the other groups) do! The 2 that I would give medals are VR and Vandy. BestXylo5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ChristopherRoden Posted September 24, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Dripping Springs is HUNGRY. Those props are so versatile, I LOVE the white uniforms. They were so clean visually I forgot to look for drill issues! Best of luck at Grand Nats Dripping Springs! Keep up the fantastic work! crunchycookie3, urmom292 and Nny14 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band2021 Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Love dripping springs music selection this year! Great performance they have a lot of potential. Musically they are a finals band for sure. A little more cleaning visually and this show will end the season strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ChristopherRoden Posted September 24, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Beautiful show by Bowie. Loved the heartbeat motifs and those stunning red flags. The props could read better but I’m just never a fan of bare metal props personally. Guard is killing it tonight. What a ballad hit!!! So emotional, especially with that heart shape, stunning!

Origin Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 I really like the content of Bowie’s show, they just need to clean clean clean. Great visual impact with those big red silks at the beginning. GeekBoy54 and symphbee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band2021 Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 The emotion in Bowie's show is gorgeous under the finals lights. Bowie is one of the programs that made me love this activity! And still they play like the always have. Good look with the rest of the season.

symphbee Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Okay I have to say … I liked Bowie’s show a whole lot more right now than I did this morning. I think the excitement led to pushing a TINY bit past a good sound at times, but overall a great performance! GeekBoy54 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherRoden Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Westwood!!! Those Westwoodwinds!!! What a sound. This is a mid October performance!!! Wow guys wow. The level of understanding everyone has of the drill is so inspiring. Keep it up! Musically so impressive too! Very complete show crunchycookie3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band2021 Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Westwood! Really surprised me here. In my opinion "Ballad of the unhached chicks" is a very intimidating piece to play on the field and timing is usually the culprit. They really played the heck out of this music tonight. You can tell these kids are excited to be on the field tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symphbee Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Westwood’s show is designed so well and is just so dang cute! One of my favorites of the day! ChristopherRoden and Nny14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post symphbee Posted September 24, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 So if you have “West” in your name - does that mean your woodwinds are by law required to be CRAZY GOOD?? celesta, Band2021, ChristopherRoden and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherRoden Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Westlake wow this screams professional from the first split second of movement. The color contrast with the music works really well for me! These woodwinds are crazy good WOW! Tough show musically, love that transition into the Beatles! The demand is THERE; and execution will be perfected over the next month, as is expected! Keep it up! Again with the dynamic prop usage, unexpected for just screens but I love it! symphbee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ChristopherRoden Posted September 24, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 I LOVE the Leander field design. It REALLY conveys ripple as do the visuals + soundscape. GE ++++ right there. The raindrop opening hit set continuing the props over with the brass hit that sounds double the size of the actual band is incredible. Oftentimes this early in the season some flutters look like a scramble, not leanders. They know where they’re going! I love the ripple motif! Coupled with how big they sound, great great GREAT performance overall!!! Nny14, crunchycookie3 and Dave609 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Origin Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Not my favorite Leander design, but they seem ahead of where they were last year. The improvement the guard has made in one year is really impressive. The ballad is definitely the standout moment of the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band2021 Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Leander has so much depth to thier show. Its high energy never a dull moment. The way every set compliments the concept is a master class in marching show design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
