Clearly an error in the telephone game.

Really solid performance, visual will probably keep them from medalling but some great music and GE going on.

I almost asked if the digital video stream had that grainy look from old tapes. Nope, some definitely obvious roof leaking.

Carmel is next!

I mean that their GE is so far and above the rest of the bands that it won't be close. I see them winning by a few points or more.

Tarpon will win this contest, solely on GE. I think they are very beatable in music. Their guard is just too much to give up the visual caption.

I'm willing to give them second as of now over Wando. (For those wandering... 1. Tarpon 2. Cedar Ridge 3. Wando 4. Ft. Mill 5. Haltom)

.

We had to wait for East Coweta to come on, so maybe something was preventing them from coming on the field?

So I was up late because of work, but I decided to wake up early to make sure I caught Trinity...yeah I woke up at 8 central time and they performed at 7:45. Hope they make finals so I can see them.

Almost lose track and think you are in a Cadets thread. Lol.

1. Tarpon Springs 2. Wando 3. Cedar Ridge 4. Fort Mill 5. Haltom And that's about as much as I know going into the regional.

After watching the stream of them I'm quite astonished by their music scores. Maybe my Texas band ears are in, but there were tons of stick-outs plus poorly played music. But maybe everyone else fell into that category. It is often said that GE can carry other captions, but idk about that much.

In person at the stadium there was quite a bit of musical phasing for Coppell. The thing where everyone plays on the ictus and the players in the back of the field are late to the down beat compared to the front of field. Also their show was very short even for the early season. Hate being a downer but Marcus was boring again. Flower Mound and Hebron we’re far more engaging/entertaining. Vista Ridge was great just wished they had finished the show/the race. Liked Keller as the best on the field on an individual marching basis, show luls a little bit in the Puck One. Definitely enjoyed Timber Creek more than their placement shows.

Don't forget they are in the 22+ range, BUT hypothetically they could have the 12th best score in the competition. I don't think they beat every Thursday band, but They could beat a couple and really be at like 16.

I mean, they were really good and only got 6th. So maybe th judges took that into consideration.

Results are live Flower Mound Hebron Marcus Vandegrift Keller Reagan Leander Woodlands Bell North Shore Coppell Round Rock

I would have preferred to hear 12th to 1st. Now we have to wait to see how the other 9 bands did.

When I take a look at the results I liked the bands ahead of them more and the bands behind them less. So it seems like a pretty decent assessment. 20th place in Texas 6A is a great accomplishment.

My only problem with Duncanville is the show reads very one note. But the kids play really well and march some really clean drill. Their shows are never hard but they do them well and they are enjoyable. Hard to think they didn't get 12th.

Clements - Adrenaline Rush Didn't know about the show going in, but I really enjoyed it. As a tuba I loved the feature. I remember the long right leg capes not helping with clean technique. Sitting about 12-16 on my board given anticipated performances of the groups left.

What was the show again?

Austin was pretty good. I have them floating 10-13 in my rankings. Though that's with anticipatory performances of Flower Mound, Vandegrift, Coppell, etc.

Took like 2 hours. (I figured it out before they sent it) But if you click on the link provided by txbands on the left of the live blog screen it will take you to the right place. From there you log in and the whole day live stream will be available. It made me change my password before it recognized me.

Man you sure do post this a lot. I was at Area B finals, and they weren't top 5. PESH might have been questionable but in no way was Haltom close to robbed.
