  1. Hey everyone! Does anyone by chance know why the finals video isn’t on YouTube? Was hoping to watch it at some point, but was wondering if they took it down for some reason. Heard there were some issues with the camera angles and some other things?
  2. Hey everyone!! So just got home and the video wasn’t there so just took a look. Congrats to Avon, no surprises!! Was a little shocked at Leander in 12th, but other than that nothing to shocking, happy to see Bridgeland 7th and AF 8th. Congratulations again to everyone on their season!!’ Can’t believe it’s already over, but I can’t wait for WGI!! Good night!
  3. Okay everyone, that does it for me for now. Again, I'll be watching the results when I get back, could be a minute though. Before I go, some words. Thank you one to all the amazing people of this website for being so awesome this season!! I was blessed to be able to cover a good amount this season, but I really appreciate those posting at the other comps, it's always great getting to read what everyone thinks, as well as getting to learn from some of the best. Next, to all the kiddos. Thank you for your dedication and hard work this season. It's really crazy to believe that it's over, but here we are. This season felt different to me personally, but in a good way. I feel like everyone was at the top of their game, with some groups having historic seasons. You can't find any other SR or big band comp where the first 10 or so groups are all high 80's and less than 1.5 points away from each other. It's what makes this sate the best, and I'm so grateful I got to watch so many of these bands develop in person over the season. Congratulations to everyone on your season. Next year might be by last super active season, hoping it the Boa shedule lines up well with football so I can go out (possibly) in a bang. Still a lot to figure out for me post-college, but I'm preparing to treat next year like the last big one for me as a spectator, at least for a while. But again, to the kids, ya'll have put on some unreal shows this season, the talent in Tx is off the charts at this point, everyone is just getting so good, and Ik next season will be even better. Now, with all that being said, here is my prediction for tonight (again, to be, and hopefully, wrong): 1. Avon (visual/ge) 2. Broken Arrow (music) 3. Carmel 4. Tarpon Springs 5. Cedar Park 6. William Mason 7. Castle 8. Leander 9. Bridgeland 10. Dobyns-Bennett 11. Prosper 12. American Fork
  4. Fantastic performance from Tarpon Springs to close out finals!!! The amount of Raw GE this group is able to create is unmatched, literally the HS version of BD. Some insane musical selections, and they are executing extremely high. Love all of it, from that super pretty ballad, amazing job soloists btw, too that sick low brass feature, to the WW's just nailing those technical passages with so much ease, it's unlike any other. Not to mention, that guard is just ridiculous, though everyone here has an extremely strong guard. Visually so so clean, some really hard writing that they nailed. I will admit, I personally didn't get that "Oof" that I did from the other big 3, but that could just be me, and I'd love for them to medal, fantastic performance Tarpon Springs!!!
  5. Well ladies and gentlemen, presenting you 2024 boa grand national champions.....Jk BA is still in the convo. No words, that's the definition of executing to the highest level, and that's what Avon just did. I still see music going somewhere else, but they will take visual and GE for sure (unless by the power of the Gods Tarpon cooks harder than that). I'm speechless, that was just near perfect, all of it, and I love it so so much. Thank you Avon for pushing boundaries this year, look great, sound great, and guard is great. I see them at the top for a while if they continue to have these stellar show designs, fantastic job Avon!!
  6. Also small heads up, I will be missing Murry and the live awards, gonna hang with some friends after Tarpon but I'll definitely be watching them when I get home, will be nice to be able to skip ahead, though it could be very late when I get home, but don't worry you'll get my reaction at some point tonight....or in the morning πŸ˜‚
  7. What a fun show from William Mason!! Never thought we'd have a cat and rabbit show in the same season yet here we are. Great job WW's with the opener, a little lose at times, but mostly together, Wow brass, what a massive sound. Again, love the use of sorcerer's apprentice, really fits well into the change of props and visual work going on. Super pretty ballad, soloists were killer, and love the Tell Overture, really cool with the low brass integrating a different rhythm with the high brass playing the main part. Guard is also insane, adding so much effect to the story. A couple small things that I could see put them below CP, it'd probably be close either way, but their GE is off the charts, fantastic job Mason!!
  8. CEDAR FREAKING PARK, OMG!!!! Literally just had the best performance of the season by far, holy smokes!! That predrill was super clean and then that opening hit just tore down the roof on this place, WOW!! Great job Flute solo nails all season, WW's killing those technical runs, love the knife set, so so effective. Gorgeous ballad, Trombone just flying with those notes, 3/4 section was great WW's, and then its just lush sounds from the full ensemble. Great job brass with the features, and my goodness that ending, love the part with the low brass entering into the full ensemble sound, and the company front to bring it all together. We'll see how Mason responds but could 100% see that in 5th, fantastic job and congratulations on your performance Timberwolf band!!!
  9. Just such a professional run from Carmel!! The musical ability of this group is just insane, talent all over the place, and everyone is playing with such incredible sounds. From the soloists to the whole ensemble, everyone is taking responsibility to sound their best on an unreal level. Love the source music, been a while since I heard some of the music in that closer (vandy 18, I think). Visually insane as well, very well could see that 2nd or 3rd, just clean clean clean, amazing job Carmel!!
  10. Oh wait you right! I was there live that year for my first nats and could have sworn BA went first in top half lol, goes to show how well my memory serves me πŸ˜‚
  11. Wow Broken Arrow, I MEAN WOW!!! I'm once again at a loss for words after watching that performance. Everything about that run was nearly perfect, literally just a couple things drill wise, but musically, MY GOODNESS!! They really want Kevin to find a new home, and I think he might, though I wouldn't mind Florida as well. Getting heavy Edge of Eternity in the preshow, great job Flute soloist and WW's, and then it's just bang from the brass. Lovely work flute duet again, so much bodywork going on in the drum-break, and boy that battery is just letting it rip. Incredible ballad gave me goosebumps, and I love the Bari sax/battery break, the electronic beats really add some great effect, and then that powerful closer with the brass just bringing the heat. We'll see what the other 3 have to say, but they very well could win tonight, wow wow wow, incredible performance BA!! Also, just some superstition but they had the same performance spot in 21 when they won, just saying πŸ‘€
  12. American Fork SHOWED OUT!! So happy they finally got back into finals, should have happen in 22 imo they've done it here, and with an amazing show!! First off, that singer is so talented. Being able to hit those lower notes with such clarity and precision is not easy to do (yes, I've been in choir programs before), but she does it with such ease. As for the ensemble, boy what a sound. That opening hit really packs a punch, and WW's killing those technical licks in the second movement with ease. Jam out session is a blast, and then another big moment in the end. Visually love the package, tons of GE, and it's clean, not to mention that insane guard, WOW! Welcome back to finals American Fork, and congrats on that fantastic performance!!
  13. WOW Bridgeland!! What finals run for this first-time finalist at this event, my goodness. That snare line and their whole battery is just insane, great job with preshow going into the massive, beautiful hit!! Great job soloists in the second movement, and brass ya'll kill those lyrical parts, such mature and round sounds. That ballad is oh so gorgeous, just such emotional sounds coming from everyone, and that closer if just the ribbon on top. Very clean visually as well, so much to eat up from this show, and they really finished the season with a bang, congratulations on making finals on your first visit, and for that incredible performance Bridgeland!
  14. Great showing Dobyns-Bennett!! They've always done a great job of storytelling their shows so well, and tonight was no exception. Love the music in this one, some really challenging stuff they they're nailing. Soloists were great all around, that Trumpet has an amazing tone, and I love the closer so much, super cool effect pulling the members into the big cage props. Visually super pleasing as well, the black and white goes so well against the colorful guard uniforms, and btw they killed it tonight as well. Took a little while to get going but boy did they prove themselves this weekend, amazing job DB and congrats on your finals run!!
  15. What a phenomenal run from Proser! I will admit, a couple small music moments, but other than that, wow. Lovely work duet going into that massive opening hit, very rich sounds from that Trumpet line. Love the pickup in pace, again great job duet, WW"s killing those runs. Beautiful sounds from the Oboe in the ballad, love me some Barber. Closer is just such a great, again love the 3/4 section, great outro as well. Visually some super cool moments, but just so happy we got to see them a 3rd time, very deserving and congratulations on your finals performance Prosper Might Eagle Band!!
