Alvin ISD Invitational Marching Contest (Sept. 28)

[TheSV-001Gamer]

They got the show on the field, and their last movement was on the met on Thursday, but that's very impressive to be done and confident enough to perform it this early anyways I'm sure this week will be just cleaning for them. Will be rooting for a higher placement from them.

Pasadena Memorial -  Really love their drill and music. 

Clements - Also enjoy their drill. Musically, they are not doing so hot.

Channelview - Their show is much cleaner, and they sound much better compared to last year.

Deer Park - Interesting show concept which I love. Marching is suffering a bit

I believe that there are also caption awards for each conference for prelims

[ParkingMeter69]

Any caption predictions? I haven't seen enough of the shows to be able to make any predictions yet.

I would say that Dickinson will probably take winds and percussion. Not sure about color guard tho

Do y'all think Paetow Band will make top 5 in the top 10 finalist at Alvin ISD Invitational Marching Contest (Sep. 28th 2024) I don't know because the concept of the show is good, it's if we can play it out properly. (Paetow marcher) If you don't know already we play Taylor Swift, Destiny's Child, and a bit of the Blue Devil's show from last year. That impactful opening hit of the Cut-Offs. What do y'all think??? (Be honest, I'm genuinely curious, the competition this year is interesting)

[Online Marcher]

Well it looks like this contest is right around the corner. Does anybody have any last minute predictions?

I'm hoping to see Ridge Point surprise us. Heard they had staff changes? 

Regardless, best of luck to all the bands competing

[ThatBrass-GuitarEnthusiast]

Excited for tomorrow, everyone give it their best run ^^

https://youtu.be/KvkPzD2GA2w?si=_tKVr-Hd_c5QyKbW pasadena memorials performance from their football game, and definitely some good last minute adjustments before their first contest. Their last movement is now choreo filled, and they even had a whole drill change near the end that looks very cool.

That's a pretty brutal long day for that program if that's what they are intending on doing 😬 

Does anyone know someone in the program or a parent who can confirm their schedule for that day?

Fulshear performed at Alvin, drove to BOA finishing 13th (missing finals by 1 slot) and then drove back to Alvin for finals. Stadiums were 55 min apart. It was a LONG day.

They had a great performance at BOA! After I saw their performance in prelims I had them slated and I thought for sure they were going to be in finals.
Love the energy and support that the parents give for the kiddos during those long days! 👏 #BandParentsTheRealMVPs

Does anyone know about what happened to clements? I thought they got 5th at Area E finals last year? I'm quite surprised by yesterday's results.
