  1. For some fun UIL trivia: this is now the 3rd time Vandegrift has been involved in a first place finals tie-breaker 2015 5A Finals: Vandegrift & Cedar Park (CP Wins) 2022 6A Vandegrift & Hebron (Vandegrift win) 2024 6A Vandegrift & Hebron (Hebron win) After digging I don’t think there have been any other instances of ties in the top classification, maybe even the top 2, since 2000.
  2. The layering of the soloists in Rouse’s opening statement is just 🤌🏻 stunning stunning run tonight y’all
  3. Is Vista still designed by Vanderkolff? I’m swooning at this program
  4. No. And you should dig through HornRank results archive to see how much placements can swing at this contest between prelims and finals. Check out 2017, 2013 and 2011 in particular. It’s a million miles from over yet
  5. My god, The Woodlands has really locked down color theory the last few years but this takes the cake. Stunning visual tapestry!!
  6. Totally, great points @MarchingMafia. As a veteran poster/lurker I should have known better to take the bait, but I have to say, it’s a bit disheartening that the anonymous callousness gets worse every year… and I was active on here when Marcus and Bell were Most Wanted #1 and 2 lol. Anyways, conversation for another day. Congrats to all the performers tonight, leave it all out there!!!
  7. As in the Terence Davies film?? 🤯
  8. I personally don’t know any actual scores, as I’m sure most posting don’t. Based on semifinal placements and caption winners, I think it’s fair to deduce that the top 4 or 5 is quite competitive with each other. For instance, Hebron wins Music for 4A but does not earn a class medal in semifinals (their music scores were better than all of 1-3). Inversely, The Woodlands places 3rd in 4A without a single caption win - indicating The Woodlands’ scores were trending towards the top of each caption, without ever being the actual caption champion. Unless the Carmel show is just an unbeatable GE monster (which we don’t know yet), these kind of results point to the bands all being neck and neck in semis. Of course it’s always the case, but achieving consistency in the judging sheets is extremely key with a deep talent pool like tonight’s
  9. Just got home from work and playing catch up. So refreshing to see the Top 3 in semis so so tight! Way to go Team Texas!! Last few BOA seasons I have been craving for some 2001 Finals level drama*… it’s good for the activity 🙏🏻 *For the newcomers: Top 4 separated by less than 1 point Captions split. Champion wins without any caption wins
  10. I have been on this forum for 10+ years and that has to be one of the nastiest write ups to date. Had to stop reading, so embarrassing Any band kid reading these posts — imperative to realize that there is so much to be proud of about your season beyond a numeric placement. The grit, dedication and guts it takes to field these modern shows is unfathomable I marched when it was just Marcus and Bell crushing everyone in Texas. Now I question if some of those legendary shows would even medal at competitions today! Irrespective of placement this talent and intensity of competition in the Top 14 is pushing the activity to heights I could never have predicted 10 years ago. This activity shifts because kids rise to the occasion and choose to commit themselves excellence. That is how new standards evolve and transpire - and it happens no matter the hardware or recognition. GTFOH.
  11. The Woodlands- Coordinator / Drill Writer: Jon Vanderkolff; Arranger Wayne Downey. Think it has been this exact team since 2006’s Hide & Seek! Vista Ridge: Coordinator / Drill - Vanderkolff; Arr. Ryan George Vandegrift: Coordinator(?)/Drill- Jeff Sacktig. not sure on rest
