Definitely possible, but overall not as strong as last year. Kinda hard show to read imo design wise, but they look and sound fantastic!

BandObsessedMom Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 I personally really enjoy the Cedar Hill style of marching and find it always makes me smile and want to move along with them. Also enjoyed watching the crowd engage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Not everything about their program is encompassed by their marching band, saw Region 5’s concert band UIL and much of the Non-Varsity and Varsity group’s performances throughout the several few days. Mansfield’s Varsity group was probably the group that I enjoyed the most, that included Lake Ridge, Legacy, and a couple of other good groups. I thought they performed really well last year and thought they were scored too harshly imo don’t really think there’s a fall off here, more so an ebb and flow with what they wanted to do for marching band, ambition wise. It isn’t everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really nice to see camaraderie between student orgs Did Haltom have some come too? I know some HP football team members, coach and our principal came with posters. It made such a difference to our band seeing them show up to support like that! Dallas Hobbs and celesta 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How coppell manages to maintain such clarity and control in their sound while simultaneously moving that fast (marching and choreography) is truly beyond me!

I mean my goodness I haven’t heard superior control in phrases that long all day! Their sound is sooo freaking full, balanced, well blended, all the good adjectives you can think of! Their technique is clean as a whistle. The composition really allows you to hear the different voices in the ensemble not just in the brass but also in the woodwinds. That raises the demand considerably and and that trumpet feature in the beginning was something else entirely. It was like you were being transcended into another plane of existence so yeah I liked it lol This. Keller's performances at BOA fell flat for me, those long Mahler phrases weren't keeping the energy going and while it sounded good, it didn't pop. Today was a whole different experience. The intensity didn't let up, and things were much more in tune and balanced. Not perfect, there were a few issues but very much a different show for me than last week. Congrats to Keller on their improvement! celesta, crunchycookie3 and Dallas Hobbs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post crunchycookie3 Posted October 21, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 …moving past the negativity, glad to see that many groups are reaching above and beyond today! To be honest, Keller kind of took my breath away at Prosper finals, and hearing that they are at an entirely new level is all the more exciting.

Bell Good to see both Haltom and Pearce in finals. I was shocked that Lake Ridge didn't make finals. I knew state was pretty much out of the question for LR but I wasn't expecting them to miss finals. Not surprised to not see Martin in finals. Does anyone by any chance have the prelims scores?
