Mesquite just started.  Wind is wreaking havoc with props.... streaming on NFHS.

Liking that they have started,  not the wind wreaking havoc.  Curious to hear about Waxahachi and Richardson in first block!

Waxahachie with a super solid run. First time I got to see their closer and it did not disappoint. That woodwind small ensemble is fantastic. Richardson was quite good as well. I really like their interpretation of Aurora Awakes and I thought the singing in their closer worked well. Just finished watching North Forney and I was super surprised by them as this is my first time seeing their show. Super powerful hits from this group and would be surprised to not see them again tonight.

Excited to see the outcome or this, especially with the delay from Saturday!! Goodluck to everyone!

Garland: Great use of props, I really liked the moment in the ballad where the entire ensemble encircles the cage as the ballad climaxes. Speaking of ballad, really enjoyed hearing Bluecoats 2019 there. Woodwinds stole the show for me here. Great job Garland!

[CosmicLimbo]

 John Horn: Nice job mellos and soloists in the opener. Always love hearing Adele on the field and that gliss in the ballad was chefs kiss. Great job y’all!

Ready for Block 2

Tyler Legacy 👀 

[JFNDOWBFAN]

Tyler Legacy with some nice moments….

[CosmicLimbo]

Tyler Legacy: Digging these uniforms and that cool visual moment when they turn around in the opener. Lots of curling visuals that make the drill feel very free flowing as performers make it from dot to dot along with some cool choreo as well. Nice job! 

[JFNDOWBFAN]

Lake Highlands…enjoyed the drum-line a lot. The durling trios was interesting. Some great sounds throughout. Not sure what to make Of the moment where everyone kneels for colorguard dance but still very solid. I think they will make finals.

I feel for the colorguard at end that didn’t have her flag. Wonder what happened there. 🤔

Love though when the students push through and keep giving 💯 percent. Bless her

[CosmicLimbo]

Lake Highlands: First thing that pops to me is the color palette and symmetry in the design. Great job on those runs mellos. Lots of cool stuff going on with the guard and the ensemble does a great job of utilizing the entire field. That trumpet and trombone duet really showed out. Awesome job probably one of my favorite visual packages today so far. 

[JFNDOWBFAN]

Irving….ok Irving. You might not be a large and powerful band but you make some beautiful sounds. Really enjoyed the mid show soloist. You fill the field despite your size. Awesome job. Should be very proud of your show!

Any more thoughts on Tyler Legacy? Do we think they will make finals?

This only block I have seen. Anything is possible!

[CosmicLimbo]

Irving: Nice job on those runs high brass! Great job trumpet soloist leading the ensemble into the Yellow hit. Super exposed stuff there performed very well! Some nice trade offs happening between brass and woodwinds here in the closer and outstanding job from the color guard soloist in the ballad. Great job Irving!

I have only seen this block so far, but so far from this block, I think Lake Highlands has a chance of securing a Finals Spot compared to Tyler Legacy and Irving. No disrespect to the bands as everyone is proud of their performances and so are the parents, but I don’t think Tyler Legacy and Irving will be making finals.

rockwall next😋

[CosmicLimbo]

Rockwall: Cool trumpet fanfare! They’ve cleaned a lot since the first time I saw them. That Mars moment where the entire ensemble marches in unison caught me off guard in a good way! This show is packed to the brim with detail and if you blink you might miss something. These kids are hungry and state is definitely in the cards with the right run tonight. See you in finals. 

[bandsoflove]

Rockwall is definitely a finals contender. My only worry with Rockwall is giving the judges too much to judge (iykyk) which could place them right outside of the Top 4. Overall, loved the show.

Will be out eating with the girlfriend so I probably won’t catch these next few bands until Dville. Sorry!

Rockwall Heath. Way to

work hard throughout the season and get better with each performance. Felt today was best music I have heard from them. Way to go. Let’s get both RISD bands in finals!
