cp (college park) will always have my heart. seem to be understanding the marching side of things more and more each yr. really doing a better job of getting that sound up to the press box. they could prob just hire some vis and design consultants and be done w/ it. guard still strong. A class now?? also is that miss dillard's daughter?? ugh, i've gotten olddd...

[packwick]

ok, im going back to bed now. too early for me for a Saturday. these first few bands were all great. Texas is blessed.

[jetliner]

If you didn't tell me the time on the clock, I'd assume this is a primetime afternoon block the way the bands have been performing. Everyone's doing great!

[Tubalord11]

It's still crazy that this school is only in its 4th year of existence, and they already (and have since the school opened) so good!! Have really enjoyed seeing the evolution of their show of the season, super pretty ballad, really cool effect with the flute duet, which has been nails all season long. Love this visual work a lot as well, great job today, Rock Hill!

Slight change in the schedule since Oak Ridge had to drop out due to transportation issues. McKinney and Hebron bumped back 15 min.

Cedar Park is good, but I don't see them getting two spots in Finals.

And I think Vista Ridge is more likely to be upper half than miss Finals.

Wakeland isn’t here. There are a few issues with this list to say the least.

Great job Mckinney!! Box5 doesn't due the bands volume justice, because they have some power! Love the trombone feature after that powerful opener, super pretty sounds from the Flugelhorn. Guard was SO good, great use of the tarps to create some GE, awesome performance Mckinney! 

[jmartin1056]

Hebron just blew the roof off the dome! What a great run!

[symphbee2]

I think Hebron may sneak into finals

[Tubalord11]

Well, as to no surprise, Hebron was nothing short of what the best in the country are. From start to finish, it was simply magical. I really love this show, not only because its being executed on such a high level, but because it's one of their "easier" shows (for their standards) which has allowed them to be so much cleaner and it really shows. Drill was nearly flawless, and they sounded just unreal, that Enigma ballad, so emotional. And their guard has built off their success from the last WGI season, and it's showing. It's going to be tight for the top spot, but I wouldn't be surprised if they take it, outstanding job Hebron 

[FaultLineBlues]

Hebron has some crazy crazy talented kids, man. I think (for prelims at least) that I give FloMo the slight edge, but that could be easily changed.

I don't see Wakeland on the schedule. Are they a last minute addition?

[Tubalord11]

Strong showing from Bell! Really love how they mix in the Kingfishers in with the other pieces. Supper pretty ballad, soloists were amazing all around, and some great work from the guard, good job today Bell!!

No, they aren't here today

[TXBAND24]

Thoughts on Wylie and Sachse? Any chance they could make finals?

[Josegjr]

Wow Hebron! How do you just top that?! I’m sure those kids have another great run in them tonight! Way to leave it all on the field!

Anything is possible, and both bands are having incredible seasons, I just don't know how likely it is on this field, but if this wasn't the SASR, I'd say they'd both have super high chances, but again anything can happen with a super strong performance 

[Tubalord11]

Forney brining the party this morning!! Really love the energy they place with, such a fun show and they've got an amazing sound, holy cow brass. WW feature was tight, and I LOVED the percussion feature, great job ya'll!! 

[symphbee2]

Oh my gosh FORNEY!!!

The crowd was going crazy for y’all at the end of your performance! Most exciting closer so far and a WELL deserved standing ovation - we could absolutely feel how much fun you were having performing! Bravo!!

Final thoughts from tonight.

1. flomo is very very good

2.  Nobody else today was as good as flomo 

3. I love flomo 

4. Flomo can have my kids 

5. I will move to flomo so my kids can be at flomo 

6. their directors must be magic bcuz the turn around from their bad super hero show in 2022 to this is insane 

7. Flomo for sure is on that podium

8. I’m changing my user name to Flomo fan

9. I quit my job to binge watch the flomo YouTube channel

Completely agree with this. Could see them sweeping everything but music. They’ve been closing that  gap between Hebron all season. With the run from last night they might’ve just done it. 

[RouseCasa]

BoA SA….where the “bubble” for finals is almost as big as the entirety of the prelims group. Love this event. 

[Geekerho]

Some thoughts after Hebrons show: impressive music but gets slightly boring in the middle of their show. But holy guacamole flower Mound!! I have to give them the edge over Hebron. Could see them preventing the vandegrift three in a row at UIL and winning BOA for the first time in a while.
