I love Flower Mound's ending--it is soooo striking visually. Not confident about podium prospects, but they should finish comfortably in top half tomorrow.

[Miyazuu]

I just walked out. It's windy, chilly, and gray this is peak BOASA weather yippee.

Flower Mound is always my favoriteeee. The ballad is absolute perfection (other than some balance issues lol). Glad they didn’t just do the polka dots.

Wow Westlake. I hope that gets a second run tomorrow; those are some of the best performed ripples this year.

[lost]

A little dirty at the end there but I think that could be Westlakes ticket for a second run tomorrow night.

[symphbee2]

Alright after Westlake my list for finals is almost full ! Thank goodness this is only a one day competition !

[Dad]

Yay Westlake!

That ending has lot going on. Time change can def create a tear but its so intricate!! I have only heard it the two times when they competed against us and wow. It's just super technical! It wasnt spotless but definitely gutsy. 

[rouseglazer1]

we heart westlake

[symphbee2]

MCNEIL WHAT!!!!!

Call me crazy but I would be 100% not surprised if we saw them again tomorrow. Talk about precision!! I was looking all over the field for a foot out of time and couldn’t find ONE! Forms moved together, beautiful ensemble sound, just WOW!!! Biggest pleasant surprise of the day by far!!

[jetliner]

Went to the lower stands for a block and have not been able to collect my thoughts since. Pflugerville closer definitely surprise of the evening for me so far. Round Rock is a whole new show since I saw it in Austin. Cedar Ridge is phenomenal. Reagan awesome. Flower Mound is the absolute winner of the day. Westlake is BEAUTIFUL. Keller, Godspeed! suits them better than any band here. The McNeil hype is real.

And there's so much left IN THE DAY, much less tomorrow

[LostChoirGuy]

I'm so glad I'm not a judge

[symphbee2]

Okay I’m newly converted what do y’all Rouse fans say?? Is this an appropriate for me to say Rouse House or is that only on special occasions pls lmk

absolutely fantastic!!! medal contender in my eyes

The show is based on the Japanese artist Kusama. She is like 90 years old and struggles with mental health issues. Her art is dots. Google her and the FloMo show will make sense

[symphbee2]

Okay at this point it feels as though the “bubble bands” saw that we called them bubble bands and were collectively like “oh okay WATCH THIS” and have all absolutely thrown down trying to prove us wrong - this fight for finals is going to be TOUGH!

[LostChoirGuy]

Seriously.  The last 5 bands all showed that they want to be in finals.  Can we get like a 20 way tie for 14th?

For real!! Maybe we can have multiple bands perform at the same time so finals can be the same length?

[WanderingTraveler]

HOLY VISTA RIDGE!!! Y’all aren’t done performing yet, but this might be my favorite show of the day. This is impressive.

[natertater21000]

The tone production is just unreal. Beautifully done Vista!
