Popular Post LeanderMomma Posted August 12, 2024 Author Popular Post Posted August 12, 2024 I have a really good feeling about Leander as well this year! Their product this season has all the right qualities and they are sounding fantastic already. It’s going to be a great GN experience this year in so many ways and I am so happy to be going! utee94, lost, Bdc22 and 1 other 3 1 Quote
utee94 Posted August 18, 2024 Posted August 18, 2024 I think Leander and CP are going to surprise some folks. I've seen over half of CP's drill and they're already about 1.5 weeks ahead of where they were last year. It should be very put-together by the time we get to BOA-RR. And the band and guard are much larger than the last several years, it's going to be a spectacle. Interestingly they're not doing TMC or Waco or any other non-UIL competitions in between Round Rock and San Antonio. Since they're going to Grand Nationals this year, the directors decided to give them back some time in October. berinskygaming, LeanderMomma and Tubalord11 2 1 Quote

Tubalord11 Posted November 10, 2024 Posted November 10, 2024 Can’t believe this comp is already this weekend!! I’ll be watching semis and finals on Saturday!!!

Bridgeland 10. Brownsburg 11. Leander 12. American Fork First out: Dobyns-Bennett Quote
Popular Post packwick Posted November 10, 2024 Popular Post Posted November 10, 2024 yah, unlike wgi and dci scores, which are supposed to be kinda sorta comparable for the seeding processes, boa scores dont have the same consistency. ppl might be concerned for Leander after yesterday. im not concerned at all. one place out of finals at SA?? seems almost like a guarantee for Nats finals on a "tx-lite" yr. music counts for most of the score which usually elevates the tx ones in the bubble. all of cp, Leander, bridgeland, and prosper checked the "nats finals" quality boxes in my head last time i saw em. ofc im not as familiar w/ the out of state bubbles. i know castle is strong. also, guessing top 3 will be ABC again. maaaybe even in that order, not sure. 🎵A-B-C, 1-2-3🎵 well maybe more like acb 123.

Expand So much for not trying to jinx Leander again. 🤨 I've only seen American Fork and Brownsburg in video and visually clean but I can't agree musically. Perhaps it will be different live and of course it depends on how good any given run is, but I find it hard to see that there is huge gap in how clean they are, especially given technical demands and overall quality of the musical performances for CP, Leander, etc...

Although, I think Leander will have enough umph to make it in. The Indiana bands have been really stepping it up. Bridgeland is clean, but, idk if that'll be enough to put them in. Their show isn't as demanding as the other bubble bands. Prosper is big and loud, but, give me a Brownsburg over that. utee94, KingSousa4Life and Bdc22 3 Quote
