Gehrig4 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Dickinson with an Under the sea vibe - nice sound. Great colors. Not as loud as CTJ but a beautiful program nonetheless. Nice drill shapes Loved the Jaws reference ! Incredible program ! Super creative! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregorydf01 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Loved the Visual of the Shark Fin going through the waves to the Jaws theme! Great show and it was performed very well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rubisco Posted October 30, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Okay, Dickinson, I see you. That was a great performance! Did you see how uniform their guard was at the end spread out across the entire field? Wow! Great sounds and drill, too! Loved the Jaws reference. gregorydf01, Tubalord11 and celesta 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post crunchycookie3 Posted October 30, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Timber Creek was definitely clean and loud- they’re making an excellent case for finals! I’m interested to see how their show will be received by a design judge, which would be the only question for finals left in my opinion. celesta, Tubalord11 and JWork 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubisco Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Very good work by Timber Creek! Strong Texas sound. Looking forward to seeing that guard in WGI. Some pretty tricky stuff in there! Yeah, I could see this picture being choppier on a bigger screen. But it does seem at least 720p on my phone in terms of clarity.

They have consistently proven they belong at the top, and I have no doubt they will today and tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchycookie3 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Reagan was good! I was a bit surprised by some of the quality of sounds made and some feet timing issues from them. I’m pretty confident that they’ll stay a finalist, but there may be a bit more room for some new faces in the top half of finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubisco Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 I wonder if Reagan will make finals this year... 🤔😄 They were outstanding, of course. There's a top-half finals spot with their name on it, probably. Tubalord11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box 5 is much better on the TV. I sent a note to Note to NFHS Support to log the issue. The more people that are added to the stream, the more they will lower the resolution. Their goal is to not have you buffering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seemed to be some timing issues here and there. But that woodwind feature was very strong! I think the great design and difficulty will offset some of the performance issues. crunchycookie3 and ChristopherRoden 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the theme "From Chaos" the Music had some dissident parts and offsetting timing that was intended and could sound off but from what I heard was very well done. Great performance!

Rubisco Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 For the record, when I open the stream each time on my phone, it starts out sub-HD quality, but relatively quickly clears up to HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I believe UIL started doing this just recently in the last few years (Could be wrong about that. Sorry!) following BOA who also started doing the same too. I think it was because of issues where bands placing very high in prelims, having to perform 1st or 2nd in finals to then drop several placements. Hebron 2015 at Grand Nationals comes to mind. tubapop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ChristopherRoden Posted October 30, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Mmm I was a little taken aback by Reagan… they were clean visually sure but there were parts of that show, many actually, that were really hard to listen to. They don’t have the same quality of sound as some of the other bands who will undoubtedly place below them. I didn’t really like the balancing at all, just my take I guess. CTJ was the opposite for me. Clean musically and nice to listen to but some shockingly dirty visual moments. Especially at the end.

I saw a few visual flaws in Reagan's show especially near the end zone toward the end of the show, and musically there were notable issues. Loved the opener though. crunchycookie3 and ChristopherRoden 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No yeah I do think that this will lead to some very interesting results for both of these schools. At least it should… I could name 5 Houston and 10 Dallas “bubble” bands that sound and march better. makes you wonder what anonymous performances would do to the final ranking… ChristopherRoden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
