Ronald Reagan SHOWED OUT!!! Love this show so so much, beautiful opener, love their use or Requiem, lots of power in the brass, and my goodness that high brass feature was SO CLEAN! Love the ballad, such cool effect with the brass in the back corner, and they are doing such a great job with timing, not allowing for the distance to create any musical discrepancies between them and the front ensemble, great job. Super cool closer with the wings on the guard, soloists were super strong and oh, I think they've got a pretty big guard, that's also really good! Such a cool show, one of my favorites of theirs, amazing job Rattler band!!

I LOVE this show. The Reagan guard is outstanding and they add so much to the visual story telling.

You’re in the TOP 40 bands of 250ish across the state. That’s basically the top 16% of 6A bands in the state. While easier  said than understood in the moment, these placements do not subtract from wh

question— will we get prelims placements, or just the finalist list?

Expand  

Finalist lists; some bands will have their directors tell them what they got, so naturally some parents will maybe tell us what this group got, OR the prelims may get leaked again.😂

Now chances are, you’ll get finals list and some parents telling us placements(thank yall) or maybe the prelims placements will get leaked and we get ALL 3

Super cool show from Clear Brook, and a great run!! First time seeing the whole show and am super impressed with the musical level these kids are playing at!! That battery is so crisp and clean, I get all the rave about them for sure. Great sounds from the ensemble, soloists were great, but just a big sound from that brass, though a couple moments of over-excitement, but I get it, it's a super cool show. Love the ending with the member in the spinning prop, great effect, and those uniforms are so sick, great job today Clear Brook!!

If Cy-Woods was going to have a performance that could get them into finals, it was that! (I hope lol)!! This might be my favorite show entertainment wise this season because that show is soooooo much fun!!! The Fox theme is such a great opener, and the way they make it more technical than it is really helps it stand out. That sax quartet, ridiculous level of talent, all of their soloists have such a mature sound. Visually very clean, love the different step types, but regardless of the results, thank ya'll for bringing us one of the most fun shows ever, amazing job Cy-Woods!!

a Cy-Woods roadie parent told me back at at TMC that they'd gotten feedback that last year's show wasn't understandable, and the point of Cat Show is that EVERYBODY GETS IT.

It's an absolutely awesome show. Seeing it live at Area I was a real treat, and getting to see my 12 year old trumpeters reaction to it was priceless!  We were blown away. Would love to see them make finals.

APPARENTLY UIL added a rule where if you don’t have props or a real color guard it affects your score negatively. does anyone know if this is true?? i feel like this would harm vandegrift a lot since they use a dance team rather than a “colorguard”

Well........someone clearly wasn't happy with how SA went because that performance was night and day for Vandegrift, HOLY COW!!!!! Yeah umm I see no reason why they can't win, because that was the performance they wanted to have this past weekend. Not many words, I'm just in awe oh how much they cleaned up in 2 days, I mean WOW. So clean, musically and visually, love that show so much. Soloists were great, closer was so much tighter, dance team was great, fantastic performance Viper band!!

Are the mics peaking or something? Badly placed?

Expand  

Yeah I can’t stand these fisher price microphones they’re using. I joke, but they really do need to get a sound engineer to address the distortion asap. This was also an issue last week with 5A.

Oh, what a beautiful show from Bridgeland!! The visual aspect of the show is just so spectacular, the big crossing lines at the end was so clean. Great musical performance, some really pretty moments from those WWs, and oh that ballad really is touching. Percussion is insane, they are just shredding their notes, a little bit of dirt in the high brass but nothing major, would be pretty surprised if we don't see them again tomorrow, and I think with a stronger performance, but they were fantastic today, amazing job Bridgeland!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it was only a handful of years ago where UIL "officially" took props or guard into consideration at all scorewise.  The rubric was must music and marching up until that point.

Yes that’s correct. UIL was pretty harsh for that period lol

WAXAHACHIE, MY EARS!! 😂😂 Those mikes were struggling lol, because that brass was LOUD, thought maybe just a tad bit at times. Still a great sound, great work small brass ensemble in the ballad, very mature sounds, and that sax player is Insane!! Really love the visual aspect, from the big W to the members acting like they're using a hammer during the sax feature, very effective writing, but yeah I wouldn't be surprised at all if they make finals, really strong performance, great job Waxahachie!!
