HELLO CHINA SPRING! I really enjoyed the musical performance today! I like the concept of the show! Congratulations on the performance!

[ViewFromTheBox]

Yeah, Gatesville, that was awesome! Loved the ballad, and I'm always a fan of "Joy" (closer). Congrats on an outstanding season!

[Dave609]

Well I really enjoyed Gatesville's performance! I'm getting off for now, will just be listening. Best of luck to the rest of out 4A State Qualifiers!

[Dave609]

I wanted to say real quick, Canton!! Using Where the Street's have no Name by U2 and Midnight City, like what Rouse used in 2019, I truly love that opener! Thank You for that opener!

[TrebleMaker2]

Gatesville! Cool music, and loved that part of the drill with the diagonal moving through the block! Gorgeous ballad!  Colorful, fun! Bravo! 
 

[TrebleMaker2]

We are seeing some wonderful performances today! Canton, Alvarado, Celina-very nice work!

 

[ViewFromTheBox]

Spectacular show, Bridge City! Absolutely stunning clarinet solo there at the end. Such a fun show. Congrats on a great season, and hopefully we'll see you in finals tonight! (Been thinking that for a lot of groups today.)

[Blue Waters]

Let’s give it up for the third and final block. Every year seems to get tougher than the last! I can’t wait for finals!

Summit played it for their closer in 2007, when I was in eighth grade. Went to all but one football game that year as well as the Region contest, so I heard it a lot and fell in love with it. It's a great piece.

I'm not because I missed a few bands due to work. Also knowing me, I would a million miles off the final rankings anyway.

[ViewFromTheBox]

Here come the drum majors. They'll recognize each competing band, and then we'll find out who our 10 bands advancing to finals will be.

[J-Mike16]

Well I only saw all of block 1 and the first 4 bands in block 2.

In Block 2, in the order I have: 

China Spring

Gatesville

North Lamar

Robinson
