2024 BOA Round Rock (Sept. 21)

Hutto-

HELLO HUTTO!! That opening hit caught me off guard! I'm really liking the visuals for this show. The music is really fun to listen to. Its very well balanced throughout the band! The bassoon duet in movement 2 was a really cool feature since we don't get to see them very often. The solo in movement 3 was played very well as well! I know there is still cleaning and stuff to do for the show, but overall, I really like this show and can't wait to see how Hutto does this season! Congratulations to Hutto HS on making Finals!!!

LOVE this show from Hutto!!! Super happy they were able to make I believe their first finals appearance at a BOA regional, and very deservingly! They have taken it up a notch from last year which was fantastic, and seem to be on the rise. Could definitely see them making a splash at area D this year, because they look amazing and sound even better! Really great stuff Hutto!

Leander-

Alright, Leander coming out here with a really groovy kind of show! That opener has become one of my favorites for the year so far. The music is really fun and the visuals are really fascinating to watch. If I'm being honest with everyone, it feels like I'm watching The Bluecoats from 2019-2023. This show is going to be very fun to watch throughout the season. And this is just another example of why Leander HS is one of my favorite bands to watch each season. Congratulations to Leander HS on making it into Finals!!

[Tubalord11]

Another fantastic showing from Leander!!! God this show is just such a blast, Trumpet solo with the different perc instruments at the beginning is just such a vibe leading to that super cool opening hit!! Watching multi-cam tonight and you can tell those kids are having so much fun performing the show, and I love the different variations of shades throughout. Ballad was once again so gorgeous, Flugelhorn player is just top notch, great double flag work from the guard. I can't wait to see this show at Nats, amazing job today Leander!! 

[packwick]

leander's music has sooo much personality. stands out from your usual marching band book. i feel like they always have such fabulous brass soloists, too. those pitch bends, ugh, i love them. def some room for growth in the visual, i want them to get that half of the show as cool as the music.

[JohnMckinsleighlover]

I really liked the sun glasses. It blocked out all the light, even in the sky. So cool. SO HAZAH

[Dave609]

Klein Cain-

Its been really fun seeing how much Cain HS has grown as a band! The show was really fun to watch and I really liked that opening part with the Dracula castle music. I also really enjoyed the brass feature that happened just before the ending of the show. I can't wait to see how well this show does throughout the rest of the season! Congratulations to Klein Cain on making finals!

[Tubalord11]

Great stuff from Klein Cain! Happy to see them be in finals after making the drive. Really good sounds in the ensemble, especially low brass. Visual work was solid, just solid overall performance. Great job Klein Cain! 

[Dave609]

Lake Travis-

They sound AMAZING! Loved how powerful the band is throughout the show! Their visuals are really fun to watch and I can't wait to see what they have in store once the show is fully complete. The final part they closed with sounded wonderful!!! Congratulations on making finals Lake Travis!!

[Tubalord11]

Lovely stuff from Lake Travis!! Really enjoy the battle of the ice movement, they play it with such beautiful sounds. Soloist were great, drill was cleaner tonight, some drops in the guard but overall, a really solid run, can't wait to see the finished show. I know that closer is gonna be something special. Great job LT! 

[Dave609]

Cedar Park-

The opening visuals looked really cool! Their sound is already on another level and we aren't even into October yet! Another thing I like about their show is their use of the field. The visuals look AMAZINIG! The trombone solo was played beautifully! Overall, I am really excited to see how well Cedar Park does this year, especially since they are making the trip out to Grand Nationals! Congratulations on making finals Cedar Park and best of luck the rest of the season!

[JohnMckinsleighlover]

For CP. they ran off that field so fast! So speedy. Definitely weren’t wasting anytime there.

Yeah why would they waste time

[Tubalord11]

Yeah I see why Cedar Park swept 3A today, because that performance was INSANE!!! So much GE in the preshow visual leading into that amazing opening hit! Drill is supper effective, soloists were great, I mean wow CP, just wow. They are going to be a real threat this year and grand nationals, unbelievable stuff coming from this program. Will almost 100%-win 5A state again unless one of the other top programs make some big moves. Amazing job Timberwolf band!! 

[Liam Allen]

Oh my god Cedar Park is going for another UIL w
