These are all fantastic bands and the effort put in is top notch! 100%! Also everyone, I lied, I will be watching a good chuck of prelims today! I'll be able to watch from here until Coranado performs, and then back on at 4 with the Woodlands for the rest of the evening! Got to get a small clip of Haltom starting at the ballad and my GOODNESS did they sound great! Really rich brass sounds, very powerful ensemble sounds, and drill was pretty clean! Great job Haltom!!

crunchycookie3 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Well done Haltom! Exciting to see the first of ALL 3 BISD schools at State. Does anyone know how many districts with multiple high schools sent all of their programs to state?

Tubalord11 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Wow College Park!!! What a performance to finish up the first block! I see why the won music at Conroe, great sounds all around, love me some "There's no place like home" from Lost, very reminiscent of Crown 2014. Drill was very clean, great curves throuhgout the show, guard was killer and soloist were fantastic. Great job CP!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubalord11 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 For those who saw Timber Creek, how'd they do? One of my roommates marched there and was wanting to know how they did, ya'll think they have a good shot at finals? Hoping the early performance time doesn't kill their scores.

I would NOT want to be a music judge at this contest. 😬 The high cam isn't bad. Unlike Box 5, the picture is clear on my phone and likely HD quality. Sound is good, too. The only thing is that the frame rate looks ever so slightly below 24 frames per second, if 24 fps is what "real life" looks like. Not that bad, though, just ever so slightly slowed down. Hopefully they at least maintain this quality. I'm sure multi-cam is more frustrating with the choice of shots they make. I watched high cam for a couple of bands and multicam for a couple. They’re both good. I’m pretty impressed with the streaming so far, but I have nothing to compare it to since I have only watched competitions on Box5 so far. This is my first experience with this network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A finalist contender for sure. I don't think it was their best performance, but really proud of them. I love that ballad. Reminds me of The Leftovers series from HBO. Watched the live steam, I bet they sounded incredible live. Tubalord11 and balumni2023 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sitting up front so I couldn’t see much visually except for what was right in front of me. Im wondering how much the rain has affected the instruments. Many of these bands have been performing in rain lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tubalord11 Posted October 30, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 WOW WOW WOW L.D. BELL!!!!! I think we are looking at a state finalist! From the opening hit right to the end, the musical performance was incredible!! The Flute and Clarinet Soloist were phenomenal the entire show, very big and rich brass sound, woodwinds were also incredible! Drill was SUPER clean, tons of emphesis on the "dot" formation, with all the circels being so so clean. I mean WOW, one of my favorite shows of the year. Wonderful job Blue Raider Band!!

crunchycookie3 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 WOW LD Bell…. what a beautiful show!! Minor tuning in the soloists at the beginning, but as soon as the full band came in, they cemented their place in the top of that finals bubble, if not locked in-just my opinion. Well done!
