I completely understand. I too went to a lower income HS in Austin way back in the day and can understand being an avid fan of a great program. I too, apologize if this came across as anything but concerning. I am a big fan of any band program that is trying to make their mark in a good way. Not to mention new to online forums and sometimes let my emotions get the better of me. I have deleted my initial post and hope that this can be friendly moving forward. Like you, I am not affiliated in any way with any of these bands or their programs and am excited to see their progression.

Now change of topic from big bands to smaller bands. Did anyone else see the performance by Krum HS? That was IMO, and excellent display of how to perform with a smaller band. And that piano on the field. It was just brilliant and they sounded and looked great!!

Not assuming anything on my end and to clarify your assumption, I am not affiliated with any of these bands. It was an observation. And with that being said, I am going to end this conversation and not allow fuel to be added to the fire. Besides, this should be a friendly place for discussions.

It was a question- and the profile and previous posts would seem to indicate that. So to answer your question, no there was no assumption.

That actually would be a pretty cool thing

Rouse turning it up a notch. Couldn't have done it better

I was just about to point this same thing out LOL

Mine were off by 2. I had Westwood slated over Westlake and had Cedar Ridge slated before seeing Bell. But it was fun for my first time LOL

I didn't even know that was a thing. And how do we know this without any score sheets?

Not trying to be difficult, but where is that said? I thought everything was in random order?

what do yall mean by TOP half BOTTOM half? And why does it matter?

I had them slated for finals over Westlake

any minute now

Ok I'll play. Here are my pics for finals, in no particular order: Cedar Park Vista CTJ Westwood Round Rock Rouse Vandegrift Leander Marcus The Woodlands Ronald Reagan Wakeland Bridgeland 14- could be any of the following- Cedar Ridge, Glenn, United

I think some people have underestimated Rouse this year just because they are a 5A band and don't have over 300 kids blasting horns, so they get put low on the prediction pole. But what if... they made finals and gave the performance of their lives and actually got 1st??? It could happen after what I saw last night.

But isn't one panel today and the second panel tomorrow? If that's the case, then it wouldn't matter when they perform today as long as it was today- correct???

dumb question- but why does it matter what panel they are in? Everyone is competing for the same thing.

I think Rouse was one of the best shows I have seen all day

HOLY COW ROUSE!!!

I think everyone is just waiting for the 6 o'clock hour to hit

Actually, thought they did a pretty good job. I have seen them all season and I personally thought today was prob their best performance. IMO
