So here's to hoping you're spot on and Cypress Fairbanks gets two bands in Finals! That would be a huge accomplishment for the district!

They came out on top for Area I at both State and BOA SA last year despite the others beating them at Area. If they have an “on” day, they are fire. They are playing very difficult music very well. They beat Fair in prelims at Area this year (admittedly their finals run was not as good as their prelims run).

Yes, this comes from the merger of two smaller districts in the 1930s, and for many years Cy-Fair was the only high school until the area had a major growth explosion, and now there are 12.

Asaiah Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 The most recent video of Coppell I've seen was at BOA Bedford. But judging from that, I'd guess they'll place anywhere from 6th-10th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post clarinetistkai05 Posted October 30, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 here we go! tomorrow is the day where we see these bands take the field! fortunate for me, I will not be spending my money on a streaming service that can’t even film marching band, but unfortunately for me: my love letters to uil went unnoticed. i will be watching these forums while I am at school and rehearsals for super regionals this weekend. good luck to everyone performing and attending! gregorydf01, Miyazuu, peshbandkid and 2 others 5 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 First band of the day already sounding great! Way to go, Wylie East! 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.

Popular Post Gehrig4 Posted October 30, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 CTJ with a full minute pre show - I thought I missed the announcement. They fully had their first hit before the announcements. The sound was huge! Soft colors and a lot of dulcet movement in stark contrast to previous years. They can flat out march. wiley east with a lot of choreo- and props that actually were electronic! Smallish band but a lot of creativity. celesta, Tubalord11 and JazzRun 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 CTJ had a little bit more dirt than I was expecting- but there is SO much to love about that show! They will be in excellent shape for Grand Nats, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see them miss finals here. I absolutely loved the Eras Tour-inspired moment with the guard at the end with the quote of Firebird!

Popular Post Rubisco Posted October 30, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Oh, gosh, no more annoying band interviews, please! We get enough of that from BOA! CTJ was solid, much improved over Katy. Interesting choice to perform almost the entire opener before the announcement, but this is also the first time I've seen them do a proper ending! (Was that the Freebird guitar solo on sax at the end? Love it! 😄) At times, like during the ballad, they sound like the CTJ you know. Full, rich, dynamic sound. For me, it's more the visual program that's kind of bare bones this year design-wise and not executed as cleanly as usual. Both drill and guard still need some work. Nevertheless, they still have a strong shot at finals here. Nny14, celesta and Tubalord11 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching on a 65 inch TV via ROKU and looks less than 480 resolution and very skippy frame rate, around 20 FPS. Box 5 is much better on the TV. I sent a note to Note to NFHS Support to log the issue.
