I know this isn't pertaining to the topic of this forum, but where's the best place to sit in the Alamodome? This will be my first time attending and not oerforming. I want the best view I can possibly get! Is first "deck" at the top a good spot? Or should I go up even higher?

I've noticed that Westlake seems to be falling a bit on the short end here on the predictions because of the whole BOA Austin incident, I wouldn't count them out, given their history, and their show this year is really GE Driven. Even better than last year's, personally. Like some people have said above, they typically bloom late in the season, so obvioulsy by the time BOA rolls around they'll be milestones better. I think Westlake is a top contender for the last few spots in finals. But hey, thats just my opinion!

also, I know it was your competiton, but do the judges still give you a score and a "what if" placement? I'm curious on what it was

oh my gosh, THREE directors gone? I'm surprised you guys have been able to cope! I'm sure you guys will get better, I'm really excited to see that final product! I think with your extra visuals and working on sound, your GE can go up even more!

I watched ya'lls exhibition at the competition on saturday, just wanted to say that I love your show, and it's definitley got a different vibe than westlake has done in the past. Those props are insane btw, like really insane. I think it really ties in this abstract art theme that you're going for (right?). The only criticism that I have to give is that it feels very quiet throughout the show...Not sure if it's meant to be like that, but heard some parts that could have been more powerful. An example would be just after the guard mirrored props come in, it just felt so mellow, when it could have been sooo fierce! Just in simple terms, I just wish there would be some louder, bigger hits. Something to blow me out of the water. I've definitley heard ya'll gunning that sound before in previous shows, and I definitley found myself hoping for a big hit during the exhibition...that and some individual marching things I saw, but other than that, I think you all have a decent shot at BOA this year!! Ya'll always surprise everyone at the end with how much you clean up later on! I can't wait to see you guys later this month! Good job!
