Sideswiperr

Here comes Langham Creek veryyy soon, excited to see this so it can solidly my predictions.

Wasn’t able to see angleton, or Klein Cain, but Cypress Ranch and Cypress Park, were solid, huge improvement for both of those programs from last year, visual looking cleaner than last year by quite a bit, love Cy-Ranch’s ballad, very intense first movement I might add, and Cy-Parks opening hit.

Nice job from the first block!

Predictions for this first block: 1. Klein Cain/Cy-Ranch 2. Cy-Ranch/Klein Cain 3. Cy-Park 4. Angleton

Ive yet to see what Cy-Ranch has put on the field ever since I saw their last show, but I don’t think it’s out of the question, keep in mind Cypress Ranch and Langham Creek would have to beat bands like Dickinson, JET, JET has got a great show, so anything could happen on Saturday.

There’s a rehearsal run on YouTube of cypress springs I believe!

Any bubble bands that could……sneak in?

Can I just say it’s incredible how foster how grown as a band program? Regardless of what happens at this area, the level of growth foster has seen is TRULY amazing, one of my personal favorites. On their way to being a powerhouze!!

The woodlands high in area I! They call me dr Seuss, because I’m the best goose!

Visually I will say for sure, that’s imo what was a weakness last year.

So I just saw Cinco’s Show, they can absolutely go to state, I wasn’t a fan of the show originally, but after seeing what I just saw, I can HAPPILY say I LOVE this show.

I believe it takes the least points out of 150. speaking of finals, I’d like to get to make an analysis of who’s fighting to stay in finals, and who’s going to finals!!

I need to see some groups like JET, Bridgeland, Cypress Ranch, Cypress Park Langham Creek, Cypress Falls, Cy-Fair, Seven Lakes, at Webster on Saturday, really interested in how we can compare some of these groups given how close in skill they are to one another, ex: Bridgeland and Cy-Fairand Seven Lakes, Langham Creek And Cy-Ranch and JET, Park/cy-falls.

agreed!

100%

This is what I like to call, the transfer of “power” in marching band, you have a group such as CTJ, and they slowly start to decline? It’s unfortunate but it happens, I’ve also noticed some other strong programs haven’t been doing as well, but other programs who you wouldn’t have expected to, have and have placed in front of our traditional strong programs, I think this is a process that will occur in the upcoming years and we’re gonna see a completely new group of programs that are the “powerhouses, heavy hitters” at the end of the process in a few years.

Yeah that’s trueeeeeee, I’m biased so don’t take my word LOL

It does for sure, my only thing is, this is early season BOA, if we look at some results from 2022, at BOA Katy Tompkins/Cypress Ranch beat cinco Ranch and Katy, at Area this flipped, Cy-Woods wasn’t that close to Cy fair at that comp in terms of placement Either, then at UIL state Woods was 18th, and Cy-Fair 30th. And I’m fairly confident Woods was ahead of Cy-Fair at SA that year, So all in all, what I’m saying is I don’t think super early BOA early season results are the best indicators for later season results like area and then on when things will be a bit more intense, or even in the comps. we have this Saturday when marching season really REALLY begins.

This is a good point, I’ll admit I had some negative thoughts earlier towards certain band programs that were in the heat of the moment, as someone who is an adult, those were not okay at all, and there is zero excuse for them.I should know better. who am I to undermine all of the hard work that the bands put in. Every band program worked to be in finals, and every band from cypress falls to college station to cinco ranch to freeman to the woodlands, worked hard to be here, so let’s build them all up as they deserve.

Bridgeland, Seven Lakes just to name a few!

Does anyone know when recaps will be up?

I’ll admit, I wasn’t sure about Tompkins making finals some dirt and the beginning looked a bit panicked, but I’m still lost on the Wylie East thing..

Anyone have cinco ranch’s prelims run?

Me right now.. cinco Ranch just beat out Wylie East..
