lost Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 PSJA was outstanding. Love to see a program from the valley succeeding. I remember seeing PSJA North at state in 2018 I believe? Really good stuff from the schools in that area. Tubalord11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave609 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Clear Brook, Great performance! I really enjoyed the Bari Sax feature and it overall seemed like everyone really enjoyed the show. Managed to get on just in time for them! Their music feature is probably one of my favorites from this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubalord11 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Really fun performance from Clear Brook! Love me some Wine Dark Sea, and they played it extremely well! Very cool show design, high levels of execution all around. That Bari sax was AWESOME, a completely awesome surprise, great job Clear Brook!

Yeah, if I remember correctly, the one who did it until after 2018 passed away? Could be wrong but Ik he did it for a long time, and then 2019 was the first time he didn't when Box5 did it that year.

Yeah, Dan Potter (current PA) and John Pollard tag team PA duties throughout the week. John got us started with the morning session. I assume he'll take the evening session.

Dave609 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 United HS- I really liked that ballad! The opener of the show was very interesting (hoping I didn't hear a tear towards the first hit ). Their visuals were really cool as well! Overall, I really enjoyed the show! Congratulations to the Laredo United HS Band! Edit- Forgot to mention, I really liked how in the opener, they utilized one side of the field for the guard and had the band be on the other side. Really was unique compared to other bands who use that feature later on in a show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 @DeadMascot WOW UNITED! I see why they've had such a successful season, they did incredible! That percussion is doing some serious work for their size, drill was very clean, soloist were wow, just an amazing performance all around! So happy to see them back at the state contest, so well deserved! Great job United! Dave609 and gregorydf01 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave609 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Westlake- That pre-opener was really good! The music that the front ensemble played was really beautiful! The Ballad, gave me chills! Yes to the tuba feature! And can I just say that I legit had tears, I don't know why but the music truly one of the best I have heard this year! Thank you Westlake for a spectacular performance :). Also, they did very well with the Circles in the visuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubalord11 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 What a run for Westlake!!! Their best of the season for sure, a VERY strong case for finals!!! Just very big, rich sounds all around, visuals were super clean, and a great performance of Barber 1! Loved the tuba feature (obviously!), just a really great show all around! gregorydf01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dave609 Posted October 30, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Bridgeland- The opener music is Beautiful! Takes me back to the first time I heard this band back in 2020. Amazing sound on the big hit! The visuals are AMAZING! I have nothing else to say on that :). The ballad is great! As they say, Flowers Bloom, so does hope! Thank you for the AMAZING performance today! I hope we get to see them again in Finals!
