Burnet with that arrangement of When I Was Older? They absolutely understood the assignment. Glad they keep coming back here.

I remember really liking Lake Travis' ballad at Austin, and that absolutely stayed the same today. Probably one of my favorite ballads of the season!

Looking at the schedule, I think the only bands that even have a chance of being affected by that are James E Taylor and Biloxi. Guess we'll find out soon enough

Westlake bus issues, announced as moving to 6pm.

Have to admit that JBA kinda got to me. I suspect having a taken a massive step in my own life just a couple months ago plays a part.

Houston bands are great! I just think that the lack of them at the tippy top makes it feel like they're overshadowed. I also think design down there (here? I'm a Houstonian now) tends to peak earlier when the Austin and Dallas groups really put on the afterburners. That said, being not-from-DFW, there's a TOOOOOOOON of DFW bands that are overshadowed in the same way. Byron Nelson blew me away last year, Braswell is AWESOME this year, and McKinney is gonna turn some heads tomorrow morning. So many great bands that you never see in the dome. Wish more of them would come!

Sharyland bringing a really good performance of their Dance of Vengeance arrangement. Liked that A LOT. Toxic as a ballad was very good too. Fun show!

It wouldn't be an Area I contest if there wasn't a week's worth of discussion of judging after the fact

Guys does anyone know when we are going to come back from this rain delay?

what a gorgeous venue!

Far as Area I results go, this is pretty tame

Cypress Woods on at 9:15. They are doing onfield warmup now

Remainder of prelims goes: Cypress Woods 5:35 Elsik 5:50 Katy 6:05 JET 6:20 Bridgeland 6:35 Cypress Springs 6:50 Paetow 7:05 Per Danpod, they are attempting to get finals in. Rain chances drop off a cliff after 8pm from the sources I look at, so I hope we can make it there without further delay

10 bands left in prelims, I think a couple hours of delay can still be weathered? Really hoping we get to have finals tonight.

I have nothing else to contribute at this time

imo Berry judges had Paetow a little too low (I watched every show in person that day)

Shoutouts to the Berry Center website having schedules published before the marching contest official site 3 weeks in a row

And with Region done and dusted, we have 5 to state, barely (if TexasMusicForms is to be trusted)

Bit of bad news, Stratford got a 2. Need 8 of the 9 left to perform to get their 1 to keep the 5 state slots

This Bridgeland show is a BEHEMOTH. I am blown away

They're really in control of everything they do, can see why you put them up there!

Liberty, that double-tonguing was CRISP

Cannot say I ever expected to hear Wriggle on the field. Very much enjoyed Carroll's execution of it!
