ChristopherRoden Posted September 19, 2024 Posted September 19, 2024 Having seen a lot of videos of bands from this season, I think the aforementioned volatility of Houston bands will be on full display here! Quote
packwick Posted September 20, 2024 Posted September 20, 2024 returning to this after watching Dawson. they should prooobably be top 5 here, w/ the caveat i have a few left to see. the music is very technically accurate again. easy to hear why they won 6A honor band. seems like a show that would do well in UIL, if they still hired ancient TX band directors for judges as opposed to the out-of-state BOA/DCI guys that they now hire lol. musicality and GE-related stuff could still put a damper on those scores. they sounded quite good last yr too, but only Dave and Bryan rewarded them for it early season. speaking of, the judging here last yr wasssss... awful. super inconsistent, lots of box disagreements. if im gonna be a lil snarky, ill tell u i could see it coming based on who was judging. 👀 Richard being the chief judge will hopefully help a little, he's experienced and successful enough that i feel like the other judges will really reconsider their scores when he asks them to.

Expand If that football game recording is any indication of how they sound live, they sound GREAT. They could be "entering the chat" shortly, at least musically. On 9/20/2024 at 10:28 PM, packwick said: def woodlands is behind in the amount they have publicly fielded (yet again) Expand I'm quite surprised they didn't perform any of their ballad last night. Then again, I feel like this "slow crawl" show learning has been a thing for them since at least 2021, and they've dominated early season each season since then, so maybe it's not a big deal. I do think there's a window of opportunity for a band like Cy-Fair, especially with them performing last in prelims and having a more complete show, and if The Woodlands can't get that last minute or so of their opener up to their usual level of polish.
