BBone27 Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Waxahachie: Wow! Very unique show idea, and it was executed very well. The brass quintet was beautiful! Such great sound even facing backfield! Great control of dynamics and awesome sustain! It even got a bit jazzy! Good job Waxahachie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Allen Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Waxahachie - impressive opening statement. Excellent tenor sax playing(I am a sax player)! Great sound throughout. The quartet moment was insane!!!!! Power at the end. Great performance! BBone27 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWork Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 11 minutes ago, HeartOfTexas said: OK. Someone has to say this... how did they end up in the bottom 6 for the finals? They have been great all day today! The bottom 6 as a whole looks wrong. Some really good bands got a bad score. Inexplicable. I don’t think it’s much of bands getting wrongs scores to be honest. Every band did amazing today and gave it their all, just comparably some didn’t look quite up to others which is expected. However that doesn’t mean a band or two can jump up and take spots in top 6!! It’s what finals is for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few nitpicky cleanliness things but good lord, the first part is incredible. I had actual tears by the end of it. Tremendous performance! Religious is accurate because my god that performance was divine! Nny14, Tubalord11 and JWork 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finals is by random draw so it’s not actually in top 6 bottom 6 like UIL state would be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegas Band Fan Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Hebron just blows me away. Looking forward to Flo Mo as well. I love this board. I also post on another board but they seem to lean towards the Indiana bands. IMHO the twelve bands in this regional would top most of the other regional bands. So much talent in Texas.

Liam Allen Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Coppell - good lord what a blast at the beginning! Great battery writing. Excellent section features. Cool trombone feature. Great performance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBone27 Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Coppell: First thoughts, guard members upside down! Amazing brass sound! The very first hit made my jaw drop! Excellent woodwind and brass technique. The brass playing backfield was beautiful! It sounded a little muddied by the lower brass in my opinion. The brass switching to trombones is super impressive AND they flipped them! What a show!
