Recommended Posts

Rouse and CP were sooooo good.  So glad I got to see this in person.  SO MUCH POWER from both bands.  While I preferred the Rouse show, I loved both.  So Great. Keep it up. Congratulations on another successful season and earning a spot in the UIL 5A State Finals. Respect.

UMMMM ROUSE, HELLO?!?! I don't have many words for what I just witnessed, holy cow!! Opening hit was just so rich with sound, and the preshow visuals, SO CLEAN!! The brass quintet, unreal, they are playing like professionals in a state symphony. That ballad was just so freaking powerful, and the closer, WOW. Drill was so so clean; I mean holy crap Rouse. We'll see what happens tonight, but I'm just shocked by what I just heard and saw, they are gonna be coming in HOT this weekend, amazing job Rouse!! 

Rouse and CP were both insane!! Rouse could win this thing after that run 🤷

Yeah....I think they've defended their title...again!! So much going on all the time, and it's all SO SO CLEAN!! Awesome preshow drill going into that big hit, that's so strong, so rich and so controlled. Ballad was just so emotional, amazing work from the Trombone soloist and WW"s going into the big hit, and then it's just a wall of sound. Love the Barber brass feature going into the closer, where they just tear the walls down. I'm super excited to see how they do at Nat's because they have some real potential to shock the world, and also next weekend. Just such an amazing show that they are executing on another level, fantastic performance Cedar Park, can't wait to see the rest of your season!!

Holy Cow Aledo!!! It's been so awesome seeing this program have such a huge comeback from last season, and they came in this season with Imo their strongest show ever!!! Love the huge opener, so much sound. The use of the track props in the second movement adds so much effect with all the racing sounds going on, great work on the cover downs. Really great sound in the ballad, and the Trombones in the closer, give me more!!! Visually super clean, just been awesome seeing them improve so much over the season with such an amazing show, wonderful job Aledo!!

LEANDER!!! They have come so far this season, and you can tell they are determined to do well later in the season (IYKY!)!!
Great opening hit, such a big and fun sound, they really bring out the emotional part of the music to get you in a groovy mood!! Great stuff from the trumpet quartet in the second movement, and omg that ballad, SO beautiful, that flugelhorn solo just gives me chills! Really big sounds in the closer, those Mellos killed those sustains, and they do such a great job brining it all together with the change of the lens in the smaller sunglasses props. Visually super clean, they are having such a blast performing this show, amazing job Leander!!

Okay everyone, here is my guess at finals!! I think a lot of these bands, especially the top half, are pretty interchangeable, and it's really gonna come down to the small details the judges noticed. Everyone was fantastic today, and to all the bands that competed at this contest both today and yesterday, congratulations on ya'lls amazing seasons, and thank you for entertaining us with some super awesome shows!!
