Wow, brutal killing of Grandma in Midlands Show 🫣. But otherwise a fun show and and good performance!

Yes, 15 Min. total. 5 to get on the field and setup, 8 min. to perform (they can start early but can't go over. What is early dose not get judged) and 2 min to get off the field.

Wow Wylie! Extremally well done! That's one to watch out for!

Love to see you watching and to get your comments, always well thought out and said!

With the kid's also watching these threads I think it is always a good habit to find the positive and not stress the negative in what you are watching. These are all fantastic bands and the effort put in is top notch!

With the theme "From Chaos" the Music had some dissident parts and offsetting timing that was intended and could sound off but from what I heard was very well done. Great performance!

14 to finals this year. Also will be a top 1/2 and bottom 1/2 for finals (unlike Area).

Loved the Visual of the Shark Fin going through the waves to the Jaws theme! Great show and it was performed very well!

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.

I feel very bad for the Area that only 3 bands for 5A Area A get to go to State because of the Split to two different locations for the Area Contest. One more band should have been able to go to State and was not given the opportunity because of this decision. I hope whoever made this decision for the Area never does it again or at least makes it a even split so with 10 at each 2 bands at each competition can go to state.

Not the ones showing placement only but the ones with the actual score from each Judge (1 to 1000 points for each).

I remember chaperoning with Vista Ridge at BOA Dallas in 2012 and then again at BOA Austin in 2013 and the same thing happened and did not do well enough to make finals. The heavy rain has a large affect on the band it's a shame for the band to not be able to present fully as they are able. But with these things the bands have to do the best they can under the circumstance. Churchill can hold their heads high on a great performance and doing so even with the rain. They still also ranked well in the competition and that is quite a accomplishment given the rain!

Fun drone view video of Vista Ridge’s practice last night!

Yep, Vista at 6:30. I did not get the whole schedule and hope someone has it and can post it.

Not yet, I can hear at the stadium they are just announcing the finalists now.

Vista is showing up! Ditto on the wow wow wow!

I agree, however Vista has not been in many contests (only 1 so far) where they are scored vs. other bands and that was very early at BOA Austin. When that happens they tend to fall out of the conversation loop and drop in the rankings. Interesting that this year's BOA Austin was the best finish placement in history for Vista Ridge at that contest (3rd in Finals). Will be good to see them in contest again and see how they do!

With Area D and Area H only 3 miles apart I think I will go to D for Prelims and H for Finals! 2 Areas in one day live, Yea!

Yes, 21 of 22 Schools received 1's from the 3 Regions so 4 to State. Region 32: 4 of 4 Region 11: 5 of 6 Region 29: 12 of 12

Wow, the Woodlands taking on some Chick Corea! What a fun and challenging show! Love the design and the way the visuals pop on the field. This will be a beast at the end of the season!
