Plano Senior High School Band Show: The Swan Featured Music: Swan Lake - Tchaikovsky Arrival of the Birds - Cinematic Orchestra The Swan - Saint-Saens ------------- Loving the musical selections for this, just hope we get the shows in this year. It will be my last year as a band parent (high school anyway!)

Plano East looks like they have Mckinney Marching Invitational and BOA San Antonio. Also just heard the band director. Mr Villarreal will be retiring, so don't know who will be replacing him.

That looks interesting... Maybe they can borrow some of the Marionette props from Plano's show last year, LOL. This looks a little "darker" though!

Was cancelled for the Plano East Bands... I feel so sad for the kids. My son played there with PESH in 2014 and it was one of the most memorable moments for both me and my son. They are not even sure they can get refunds on everything, I sure hope they can. Heartbreaking

Guaranteed win!!!

Oops I meant Area C. Yes, area B will send 6 for sure.

Area C is a lot of bands! They could potentially send 6? Area B might have a hard time getting 5, so most likely only 4 will advance. But wow, the bands in Area C... so competitive! Of course the top 3 for area B are pretty much a given one would think, but I think that 4th spot will be a tough fight! Wylie and Prosper are my original picks, but who knows. PESH continues to rebuild after the realignment of the schools hurt them and PSHS had a really good year last year(which I hope wasn't a fluke and that will be my final year as a band parent ). Sachse also has been putting out some real quality shows.

So glad they moved Plano to the easier Area, LOL. Guess Area B wasn't tough enough! Looking forward to seeing all these great bands next year though!

First, welcome to Texas, and I'm so glad you made the trip! I have three kids that went thru, or are going thru the music programs here in Texas. The first meeting when I found out about the band fees, I was overwhelmed! But then I realized that the experience was priceless! I grew up Wisconsin, and came from a very good music program there. We often had the most, or close to the most kids make it to the State Honors band. Now, due to lack of funding, and parent involvement, that band is almost non-existent today, which is very hard to see. So I can really appreciate all that our education system and band boosters do for us here. Thank you for your involvement in your bands program and for helping those kids have an experience they will never forget!

Since I have been keeping mine on high cam on and not switching between the two, I don't seem to have the issues. Keeping my fingers crossed that continues!

Loved The Woodlands show, very enjoyable to watch! They sounded great too!

Loved the Wylie East trombone feature!

What media are you watching on? I don't think I was getting it on my phone yesterday, but on my laptop it's terrible!

Not everytime for me but I continue to have to reload as well, who knows why! Sometimes my sound goes out or I just get a black screen.

OK, I can handle a few ads, but this Rocket Mortgage ad is getting old running it 4 times in a row between bands!

Plano East has been moved from 10:15 to 12:30 due to their bus issues.

So I heard that Plano East has been sitting on hwy 75 just North of Dallas waiting on something for one of the buses. Last checkin I saw was a little before 4 am. Not sure they will make their time

So if anyone has the ability to screen capture tomorrow could you do Plano East at 10:15 am? They are not a finals contender but I would like to he able to rewatch their show (my son is an alumni). You can PM the link if you don't wanr to make public. I will not distribute to anyone except my son and a few family members!

I just need to shout out Hollister .. bringing me back to great times with Birdland! Nice job by the band, enjoyed your performance!

Probably late answering but I have had some black screen issues to, on my laptop. Just keep rebootimg when it happens, very frustrating!

I was trying to count them!

Whew, i thought they did! Someone mentioned Pearland above and I took it that they just performed! They weren't on my schedule until tomorrow! I guess I am not doing very well at multitasking here!

Dang, I missed Pearland. I am trying to discretely watch/listen on my phone at work, every now and then I have to work!

Nice Job Madison band!

I liked that as well!
