I was charmed by their playful theme this year (that 8-bit drill set was unique and really cool!) I thought they demonstrated a powerful sound for such a relatively small group. I was taken aback by how potent the brass sounded in that hit at the beginning of the closer. The woodwinds were splendid at playing strongly and allowed the audience to enjoy the quality of their finger dexterity. I thought visually the props and drill formations portrayed their theme nicely and they executed their marching well enough to allow the effect to shine through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigblackcontra Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Coppell is honestly such a judge pandering show and tbh they peaked after 2021. Sure, they're loud but that double tongue feature is more dirty than my toilet after taco bell and their players and music overall are kinda mid.

They did so well at producing a deep, dark sound that really matched their theme. I definitely think they’ve improved from last year. Awesome demonstration of attention to detail to the quality of their sound.

In any competition. They have improved from last year- but this bombastic attitude is just not welcome - and frankly it isn’t backed up on the field. Bell isn’t the 30th best band in Texas currently. Objectively. But they likely will place high enough to advance - and it will be deserved. Aquaflamma85 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mansfield's show was alright, really love the capes in their show, but I feel like Mansfield is another one of those programs that have fallen off post-Covid. Like in 2018 (the last area before covid) they got 10th and made finals. In 2021, they got 14th and in 2022, they got 19th. Hope they get their glory back sometime in the future. crunchycookie3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I condone the other behavior from others on this chat, but this is also not true- Bell rightfully won Prosper prelims by nearly a full point and placed above all other Area B competitors (except for Coppell) in Bedford finals. They are a true force this year. Coppell also has a lovely show. Both of these things can be true ChristopherRoden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t tell if this is serious or not, but in case it is, Bell was defeated by Coppell at BOA Dallas and objectively is behind the LISD trio and several Austin and Houston schools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
