I think it is the same person. Even though they are an amazing trombonist they just cannot pass the rest of their classes. As they are aging out of DCI there is hope the trombonist matures enough to learn how to study for their other classes. There is also the conspiracy theory that TWHS's band director is strong arming his peers into constantly failing this poor soloist.

I have no horse in this race but I completely agree. Why teach students that standards and regulations are okay to break when the stakes are higher? UIL, remove the rule OR enforce the rule.

Do we know who the panel is for today?

Dixon was determined for CP to place 3rd and Leander to succeed.

Please help me in thanking Dave609 for kicking **** in the thread and keeping people who had to travel unexpectedly abreast of what's happening this weekend

4A was spicy!!

So, if they don't want someone copying them: 1. The shouldn't compete 2. Shouldn't perform at halftime 3. Only Practice in a closed facility 4. Perform behind closed curtains at regionals and area, then publicly reveal at State. This copying thing is parent paranoia who think that marching band like football. Directors aren't going to change a show, a vision, that they have been developing for over 6 months to match some other director"s vision and strengths of the other director's group. Could it potentially happen at the lowest level of band competitions, yes.

I have Blue Springs and O'Fallon swapped....

Haven't forgotten....I'm watching it pixelated by pixelated image when it's up.

This is my favorite show in Area H 6A. Seeing them again will be good. It is such a beautiful show.

@Tubalord11 For regionals they did not have concessions running. You are allowed to bring in an unsealed bottle of water. If you are going to be here all day maybe bring a cooler with water and leave it in the vehicle and rock/paper/scissors to see who is doing the running. If you like ice cream there's an awesome ice cream shop within walking distance named Scoop & Score. They support local HS bands and are some really great people.

For region there was no link available until you walked up to the gate. So, bring cash or be ready to use the link when you get there. If you have a stadium seat be sure to bring it.

Videos are still uploading.... Here's the playlist of all bands finals performances with the exception of Lake Travis (it's a mess on my end) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCGnY0AX0zIcQe0OkAhj1uCn7Q23tBWCb

I recorded all of finals. I will be posting them when my phone recharges. Was at 1% when Round Rock finished

I would have much preferred dealing with a watermelon....

I will be going to finals. I had a watermain to deal with this morning

In his defense, what has Vandy ever accomplished?

Rouse 5A: Top performance of the evening. Leander Lions 5A: This show ripples and is cleaning up very nicely Vandegrift 6A: This show is cleaning up nicely. I love the uniforms, guard, and front ensemble Vista Ridge 6A: This show has the highest cap of all shows. They are playing fantastically and I am very excited to see where they take us as the season pushes forward Lake Travis 6A: I love this concept. The brass are solid Liberty Hill 5A: They are making huge strides. Guard is so much better this season Tom Glenn 5A: They remind me of Rouse from 5 or 6 years ago. They play well, very controlled Westlake 6A My favorite show of the evening. This is high art. It is very reminiscent of the Mandarins. Welcome back Westlake Cedar Park 5A This show is changing each time I see it. They are starting to work in musical dynamics and they looked very good this evening. OVerall top 4 of the evening: Rouse (music, and GE) Vandegrift (front ensemble and aux are outstanding) Cedar Park Westlake

I do not see a Rouse sweep.... Vandy's front ensemble and guard are way too strong for that happen.

From what I saw tonight 1. Rouse (mus, ge) 2. Vandegrift (perc, aux) 3. Cedar Park 4. Westlake 5. Round Rock 6. Leander 7. dripping springs 8. lake travis 9. Brandies 10. M&G 11. McNeil 12. glenn

There was no impact. Rouse won the day. They were clean, balanced, and engaging. At TMC, after watching Region 32 tonight. I believe that Rouse will once again win the day. They are performing at an exceptional level right now. The big fight is going to be between Cedar Park and Vandegrift.

Sorry it's taking so long. YouTube is being exceptionally slow this evening.

Region 32 5A a d 6A All bands score 1 All bands advance to area All bands performances are being uploaded to YouTube right now

This is way too brilliant and easy to use. Please make this harder to navigate or read just to be consistent with everything else UIL-related.

This is pretty awesome. I now have a Karen trying to bully me with veiled threats for my documentation of this event...LOL....I have been around YouTube since 2010. I have created channels that have exceeded over 7 million subscribers. Enjoy the ride
