Fantastic performance from Cedar Ridge to get finals going!!! Have really enjoyed watching this show over the season, SOO much visual Ge in this show, such smart writing, and it was very clean today. The big moving pendulum is so cool, and how the trombone soloist is able to move inside the circle while doing so bodywork and play that well is super impressive!! Love the Wrecking ball ballad, fits so well with this show (and the actual wrecking ball), great job flute duet and that closer is so cool, love the moment with the brass going in circles. Just such a super well design, and these kids have been executing so well all season long, super entertaining show, oh and that guard and percussion, CLEAN, amazing job Raider Band!!

I remember unloading our trucks next to theirs in the parking lot of the KRAC back on that hot September Saturday, and looking over at those props, and wondering WTH is going on over there? :)

I've had a chance to see their show a few times over the months and it really has grown and impressed, it's a lot of fun.  Anybody using Wrecking Ball as a ballad is obviously thinking outside the box, and we can always count on Cedar Ridge to do something quirky and unusual.  I think they're such a great part of the fabric of Central Texas marching, I don't ever want to see them change.

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

Coppell brining it this afternoon with that killer run!! Such a strong brass line they have, and from start to finish it shows. Great control and mature sounds in the opening with the WW's doing some super cool bodywork to get the show started, and then immediately go into ripping through some very challenging licks, but they nailed it!! One of my favorite ballads of the season, again the big curve set with the bodywork popping in and out with the brass playing back field is so smart. AMAZING Trombone feature, was such a treat to hear at Bedford, great job WW quartet going into the crazy closer. Really strong performance, and it's great to see this program really solidify themselves post-covid as one of the best the state has to offer, awesome job Coppell!!

Way to go Round Rock Dragons!!! My goodness, it's so impressive seeing how these kids really clean up over the season. Going from 9th to Boa Austin to SA and state finalist, is something that you only see the best being able to do, but for Round Rock, it's just natural. Lovely sounds from the Sax soloist going into the grand opening hit. Good work from the percussion going into the brass trio, which by the way, ya'll are awesome and soo good, love the little fist bump at the end. Great mature sounds from the brass in the ballad, and what a powerful closer, my goodness Trombones. Some great visual moments, that last set really just shows you how massive they are, yet their sound never gets the best of them. Amazing job Rock band!! 

Also, love the new uniforms, and while I understand others wishing they had their other ones, remember...Change is Everything 😉

I think it would be cool to see all different class bands compete at state at the same times that way you would really know what you place as far as the best bands in Texas instead of just your own class even thought it’s probably not gonna happen cause that would require keeping all the bands at state for 3-4 days until they announce finals

Seven Lakes brining the heat!!! Amazing work trumpet and WW's going into that massive opening hit, my GOODNESS what a powerful sound!!! Lovely work tuba solo, really mature sound going into the very up-tempo second movement, some very challenging musical moments the nailed. Never thought I'd hear Metallica on the field, but that flute solo just makes it their own thing, such great effect as well with the rising bell. Amazing job WW"s going into Angles, such a pretty ensemble sound and wow what a strong ending. Congratulations on ya'lls historic season, I see 7L only going upward from here, but boy what a season they've had, fantastic job Spartans!!!

YES BRIDGELAND!!! Wow, such a stronger performance today. Great work soloists going into the big opener. WW’s going through those licks with ease, my goodness. Such a beautiful ballad, just such rich, emotional sounds. Wow percussion, boy can they play and what a glorious ending to bring that emotional  show together. Visually stunning, some really big sets they are nailing, crazy to think this school is 8 years old and they’re already doing some really big things, can’t wait to see them at Nats (hopefully 3 times), fantastic performance Bridgeland!!!

Holy Smokes Reagan!!! Yeah, this is definitely my favorite of theirs since Secret World, What A Show!!! Great work with that opening statement, my goodness high brass, that feature is insane but So clean, wow!!! Great work in the ballad WW’s with the brass backfield doing so very effective body work, and that resolution gives me chills. Sick Sax feature, absolutely nails, and boy what a magical closer, love the Angel Wings!!! Visually a crazy package that’s excellently executed, and gosh what the guard does to bring so much emotion to the story is just wow, amazing performance Rattler band!!!

Mine just keeps slipping and repeating the same thing over and over again and then cuts out.  I'm going to see if multicam is any better

Today multicam is working for me and high cam isn't.  It was the exact opposite last week for 5A.
