utee94 Posted Friday at 02:12 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:12 PM Gonna be a quick down and back trip for us. Gotta leave here around 9:30 to make it to Lot A by 11:30, band performs at 1:30, we'll be packed up and gone by 2:15, hopefully home by 4:45 depending on traffic (and how long we spend at Buccees 😉 ). I'd really like to be home in time to catch Ronald Reagan's show streaming, at 5, and then FloMo shortly thereafter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would even say top 3... they are at the level of Hebron Marcus and Vandergrift. While I think that CP could maybe beat Marcus, Vandy and Hebron are one whole different level. They both have held top 3-4 (I'm not sure right now because I have not checked) spots in the nation. They are both crazy bands. While it's not impossible for them to be beat (Rouse beat Vandy last year at BOA Austin) I think that Vandy And Hebron have the top 2 spots pretty much locked down. It would be awesome to see CP place top 3 though for sure!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be to quick to count out FlowerMound for 2nd or 1st, especially seeing how the US bands comp went and how close they were to Hebron.

Them as well! This comp is mad stacked with insane bands! making finals will be hard enough! Top 8 or 7 even is still crazy imo!

Josegjr Posted Friday at 03:47 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:47 PM To everyone performing this weekend I hope all of you have amazing performances! Seniors, for some of you this is your last performance inspire your bandmates and leave it all on the field! Don’t leave an ounce of doubt that this was the best performance you have given all year! In order to make finals here you have to give it all that you have. Perfection is what it takes! But no matter what enjoy the moment! Us as audience members will enjoy every performance no matter what! tubaplayer12 and Tubalord11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted Friday at 04:01 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:01 PM Good morning everyone! We are here live on Box5 for the San Antonio super regional! I'll be on today for the first two blocks and all day tomorrow! If you buy the prelims/finals, it does include both days of prelims and finals for a much cheaper price! Good luck to everyone competing this weekend! Josegjr and RouseCasa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted Friday at 04:18 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:18 PM Cute show from Veterans Memorial to get things started here! Good sound for their size, Sparano soloists was on fire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted Friday at 04:40 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:40 PM Solid showing from Weiss!! Visually very clean, good work on the cover downs on the big curve forms. A couple tunning issues but overall, really good sounds, loved that WW feature during the second movement, super pretty ballad, great job ya'll!

While possible, I doubt that will happen. I would be shocked if any of the next 4 comes from panel 2. In fact, I think who ever wins that fifth spot in panel 2 will finish at the bottom of finals. Panel 1 is just that strong IMHO. The top 4 in panel 2 are strong as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted Friday at 05:12 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:12 PM Great showing from Sharyland! Really mature sounds from the Trombone soloist going into the opening hit. Great sounds form the WW's with dance of vengeance. Beautiful euphonium solo in the ballad, yeah, I see why they scored well in percussion at state because that battery feature was really solid. Visually pretty clean, some cool moments in the drill, great work ya'll!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetliner Posted Friday at 05:13 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:13 PM Sharyland bringing a really good performance of their Dance of Vengeance arrangement. Liked that A LOT. Toxic as a ballad was very good too. Fun show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouseglazer1 Posted Friday at 05:25 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:25 PM 18 hours ago, tubapop said: TWHS always seems to be on the outside looking in ... in that sub-elite tier, as great as they are. In your opinion (this is a question for everyone), what do they need to do to move into regular contention for first place? And since I'm a Bridgeland parent, what the heck, I'll ask the same question for Bridgeland - what does it need to do to move into TWHS' current position, consistently contending for 4-6? from experience i feel like houston bands arent given as much love as austin and dallas bands (being an austinite myself). i would say bridgeland is most definitely on the up and up, it just takes time for that reputation to be built.

jetliner Posted Friday at 05:47 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:47 PM Houston bands are great! I just think that the lack of them at the tippy top makes it feel like they're overshadowed. I also think design down there (here? I'm a Houstonian now) tends to peak earlier when the Austin and Dallas groups really put on the afterburners. That said, being not-from-DFW, there's a TOOOOOOOON of DFW bands that are overshadowed in the same way. Byron Nelson blew me away last year, Braswell is AWESOME this year, and McKinney is gonna turn some heads tomorrow morning. So many great bands that you never see in the dome. Wish more of them would come! KingSousa4Life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted Friday at 05:56 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:56 PM JBA bringing the heat today! Really inspiring message with tons of great musical moments throughout. Soloists were on fire, and my goodness guard, some amazing writing they've done for them which really helps elevate the show. Tons of visual ge, great job with the forms spelling the different words, super strong performance! Josegjr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetliner Posted Friday at 06:05 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:05 PM Have to admit that JBA kinda got to me. I suspect having a taken a massive step in my own life just a couple months ago plays a part. Josegjr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodlandsMom4ever Posted Friday at 06:55 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:55 PM I 10 has a vehicle fire or something that’s got both ways at a standstill around Luling Bucees. I wonder if that will affect any groups coming in from the east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tubalord11 Posted Friday at 06:57 PM Popular Post Share Posted Friday at 06:57 PM Wow Lake Travis, SO much improvement from the last time I saw them!!! Beautiful euphonium solo going into the opening impact, great job with the rotating snowflake. I love how they make Battle of the Ice a brighter piece, great WW feature. Such a pretty ballad, that soprano sax plays with such maturity, and a super big closer. Guard brought so much, loved the flag work throughout, amazing job today!!

jetliner Posted Friday at 07:15 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:15 PM I remember really liking Lake Travis' ballad at Austin, and that absolutely stayed the same today. Probably one of my favorite ballads of the season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted Friday at 07:25 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:25 PM Another great performance by Hendrickson!! The visual work of this show is insane, so much individual and ensemble demand, and they are executing so well. Lovely sounds from the Flute duet going into the opener, great WW and brass feature. Earth song is such a pretty ballad, and that Euphonium soloists has been nailing it all season long! A couple minor discrepancies in the big line forms during the drum break, but other than that super solid showing, great job today Henny!
