Gonna do some nerd yap for a sec, the only two bands I've been able to see so far are MN and LS. McKinney sounds really good, again a very fun show, I wish I got to hear more of the full band sound because they have a lot of solos throughout their show. All the soloists are great, another singer and she's amazing. Amazing Trumpet soloist in their ballad, they gave me chills. I would be surprised with them not making the top 4.
Lone Star is crazy good this year, I heard them and couldn't believe this is how well they play this early in the season. Their brass and winds are phenomenal. I don't know if it was the kind of recording, but based on sound, Wakeland might be taken from the top spot this year. (They have a have a little section from the CarCrown 2010 intro which I love, correct me if I'm wrong).
Yap over, both bands sound great. Its still early in the season so anything could happen.
I really would like to see videos of all of the other bands. I would love to find a video of LT or Argyle if possible.
