Hopefully I’ll be able to catch finals!

Not true, 2008 Keller got 9th as well. And 10th in 2009 at that. Now those scores wer in the mid to low 80s, but yes this year ties their best super regional placement.

Except DFW will want to compete in the dome. It’s only a 4 hour trip give or take traffic.

I could have Cedar Park to the end of Finals.

The Mandarins and Blue Devils both used body bags this summer. Though I did hear that Keller had body bags lined up and the the drum corps season happened and it made it look like they were copying BD or the Mandarins.

First off, heck Yeah Keller! That music grooved like crazy and they played so well on the move. Now that definitely was not the visual execution we are used to from Keller so I hope it doesn't take them out of finals but that was a great show.

I love the execution of Cedar Ridge’s Vogue section a bit more. Still like Coppell’s show though.

Been watching all morning and all day yesterday and it didn’t happen for me. I’ve had ads but they’ve all been between bands.

Coppell glad to see the show improve greatly over Southlake. Not quite finalist grade with how tight the competition is, but I did enjoy it!

Didn’t happen on multicam for me

LD Bell, don’t like the design at all. But the performance level is high, effective, and well executed. A finalist for me.

Personally CTJ, Leander, Reagan, Hendrickson, Vista Ridge, Cedar Park, Churchill were all better than Round Rock. Better executed shows, as well as more engaging.

And that is a High School Band giving this Drum Corps Fogey goosebumps through a live feed. Phenomenal job by CTJ. Gotta say this year is a Chameleon that is actually visually clean.

Great show MadisonBandMan! Y'all sounded great, the only thing holding y'all back is the visual program and execution. But still a very enjoyable performance.

Churchill luls me in the middle of the show. Certainly can't deny how awesome that opener is, amazing effect.

Hendrickson was really good, now my question is whether they were able to hold on against the surge of the middle block. Not entirely sure.

I think I had them ranked too high in my rankings at 6th, because I don't see them beating... Place 7 The Woodlands HS Place 8 Marcus HS Place 9 Leander HS Place 10 L. D. Bell HS Place 11 James Bowie HS

Westlake's opening was one of the coolest things I've seen in a while, pseudo-entrancing.

Hays had a phenomenal ensemble sound. I thought the marchers were awesome fundamentally, great posture and technique. I think the design is actually just lacking for the students.

Good luck on your performance, I'll be up here in the DFW cheering y'all on from Flomarching. Taking vacation from work today is proving to be well worth it.

Congrats to Rouse, getting better every year. I think they have a good shot at 5A State finals.

So Far Vista Ridge Cedar Park Round Rock Cedar Ridge Seven Lakes

If they are truly better than the groups after them, then everyone else is scored below them. That's how it works. They become the standard that all of the rest of the bands are measured so it's not that bad of a draw.

Wow! Wow! Wow!!! Personally Vista Ridge just stepped up over Cedar Ridge and Cedar Park, way improved over Southlake and the addition of the closer was awesome!

Just realized how awesome this block is... Seven Lakes Cedar Park Cedar Ridge Vista Ridge Round Rock Rouse all in order
