I'm glad Leander got that run out of their system. imo seemed filled with nerves and unusual mistakes.

Were you watching in person or on the stream? I saw it in person up high and I’m really not sure what you’re referring to. Perhaps there was stuff in the live stream.

Rio Grande City: Excellent use of the field, plus that euphonium soloist has a beautiful sound!!! Loved the muted trumpet part.

 

Wakeland: They were the masters of dynamic contrast and control! Not only is the full ensemble sound super mature, but those mellos are super impressive. Also another wicked sax player!!!

 

Friendswood: Super fun show and man they got some power! Loved the small ensembles in this show, and the music selection was super fun.

 

Leander: Was playing the, “how many pairs of glasses does each band member have?” game. But genuinely, such an impressive run and so entertaining!!!

 

Lubbock-Cooper: Theme for this show is super fun. The flute soloist killed it and visually and thematically super cool.

 

Colleyville Heritage: Loved all the music in this show. Backdrop for this show was neat once all the props came together!! Immersion with the whole metal thing was cool.

 

North Mesquite: The standing tuba player was awesome. Woodwinds were super clear, nice features! The whole ensemble was visually very in-sync.

All but two of the bands that I would have making the top 6 have performed now and I expect a great run from the remaining two.

Top 6 with ceilings and floors would be:

Cedar Park- 1st-2nd. Personally I see them running away with the ordinals but I'm not going to rule out a come from behind win by Rouse

Rouse- 1st-3rd. I mostly see them in second barring a surprise upset by them for first or by wakeland for second.

Wakeland- 2nd-4th. Third is where I see them landing ultimately but Leander could overtake them for the last medal spot with a very locked in performance.

Leander- 3rd-5th. It really depends on the quality of the run for them in my opinion, I would not rule them out of medal contention.

Lonestar- 4th-6th. I really like what they are doing this year and they sound great! I don't personally think they can push the ones above them out of medal contention but we have all been surprised before!

Aledo- 4th-6th. Best Aledo show in a long time, really excited to see them perform later today.
