If the NFHS mic wasn’t already cooked, Seven Lakes opening hit did it! Very nice opening hit.

I didn’t notice anything until Wax, but after that it’s been so cracky.

[Tubalord11]

Yeah, I see no reason why Seven Lakes couldn't perform again, because what a killer performance!! They have definitely built off of making finals at SA, and very well might do it here. The musical maturity of this group is insane, WHAT an opening statement!! Such a great ballad, the use of the prop is so effective, and my goodness that closer is just Sooooo effective and strong. Soloists great all around, love me some tuba solos, and the flute in the ballad is so pretty. Visually very strong as well, but if we don't see them again, congratulations on your historic season 7L, and on today's performance!!

Gosh this Westlake show is just go gorgeous, and they performed SO well!! The pre show design is so well, that choreography is so welly designed, but their execution is flawless. Great job Flute duet going into that opening hit. Super pretty ballad, that Trumpet soloist has such a great tone. Love me some Bright Blue, and they played it so well for their closer. Visually just so outstanding, the uniforms work so well, and that guard is Amazing!!! Another potential finalist for sure, amazing job Westlake!!

we did it at the same time lmao 😭

[WanderingTraveler]

Hebro(n) wants gold! Musically such a talented group, and that trumpet soloist sounds amazing! The full ensemble sound of this group is just unmatched.

[Tubalord11]

WOW North Shore!!! What an insanely massive sound, my Goodness!! First time seeing their whole show and was left blown away. Haven’t seen there whole show till now but I see why they were second at area because my goodness what a sound, both from soloists and the ensemble, and visually very pleasing, plenty of hypnotic references, great job NSS, definitely not counting them out of finals!!

[Tubalord11]

MY GOODNESS HEBRON!! (Hebro my B)!!! For sure in gold contention, much cleaner as well than Saturday night, and my goodness their ensemble sound is unlike any other. Might tighter in the trumpet feature in the second movement, and those WW’s are just running through those licks like it’s nothing. Enigma ballad is just chefs kiss, that Flute and Trumpet soloists have some unreal sounds. Love the rocky point, great work tubas, and visually much cleaner, just a couple feet issues, but I’m sure they will fix any tomorrow, amazing job Hawk band!! 

[Sideswiperr]

Hebrons sound is just different, the clarity and transparency. It’s just different from other groups, I can’t even explain it it’s just so CLEAR, and CLEAN. It’s like the sound that the clearest/cleanest water in Antarctica would make if it could make an ensemble sound. 

[johnjoe]

so like any thoughts on dville..😓?(ik im a top tier dville glazer) 

[WanderingTraveler]

I know Pearland is huge but having a sound like that while keeping extreme balance is unreal. Those mellos were putting in some work. Love the music in this show.

[Hags CSHS TPT]

THAT ENDING FOR PEARLAND WAS WICKEDDDDD!!!!!!!!
