Looks like we are going to have a huge Texas contingency again.

https://www.lonestarlive.com/life/2024/12/texas-am-alumnus-accidentally-joins-band-says-they-pretended-to-play-for-4-years.html I think this is hilarious and that many of you would find this interesting.

Wow, this might actually be the best finals lineup ever. Or at least as long as I've followed the activity.

Hate to keep this conversation going, but I thought Rouse was clearly better than Cedar Park in prelims of San Antonio but Cedar Park had a much better finals run and they were very similar (but Cedar Park was the first to go in finals so they really had no chance to overtake Rouse). At Grand Nationals, CP improved even more. I'd give the end of season edge slightly to CP, but they both were amazing this year.

Bridgeland and Prosper are both 6A...

Neither is working for me. I caught maybe 30 seconds of Keller.

Mine just keeps slipping and repeating the same thing over and over again and then cuts out. I'm going to see if multicam is any better

Ugh nfhs is the worst

I'm so happy to see Keller in finals, after missing in BOA. This is just what they needed to bounce back.

Wow congrats to all 15 bands! I had a feeling McNeil might make it after their show yesterday blew me away. I didn't get a chance to see Seven Lakes, but this is awesome!

Seriously. The last 5 bands all showed that they want to be in finals. Can we get like a 20 way tie for 14th?

I'm so glad I'm not a judge

I really wish they would just do a semifinals here.

The soloists for Leander were INCREDIBLE

On the hornrank forums, people have said that one of the guard members had a medical emergency that included throwing up, so they are cleaning it up.

Is there a delay happening for Leander's show?

Im pretty sure Cedar Park will make finals, but I thought their performance at 5A finals was a bit stronger so I can see them in the bottom half. We will have to see how other bands do.

Did anyone else see Argyle's entire band ripple salute when the drum majors saluted? That was awesome.

My thoughts: 1/2 Cedar Park/ Rouse - both deserve to win in my opinion. They were amazing 3 Wakeland 4 Leander 5 Aledo 6 Lonestar 7 Burleson Centennial 8 Hendrickson 9 Argyle 10 Roma 11 Friendswood Sadly I missed McKinney North so I can't say where they go in my opinion.

I'm sad I missed the first half of Roma, but they played so well from what I heard. They must have some of the best directors in the whole state.

Mine is still not back. Are you guys in the high cam or multicam?

Did the stream just cut out and restart at the beginning of the contest for anyone else?

Good luck to all finalists today! I fortunately got done with work early so I'm able to watch the stream and enjoy!

Just to clarify, I meant that they were the first out this year and last year they were comfortably in a state qualifying spot after prelims but didn't end up making it after finals. As others have stated, Timber Creek experienced almost making it for nearly a decade.

Keller Central has become the new Timber Creek in that they are just barely missing out on state year after year.
