Neither is working for me.  I caught maybe 30 seconds of Keller.

That is extremely unfortunate. It was clearly a candidate for their run of the year and felt positively redemptive. The kids definitely received the wake-up call at BOA SASR and responded in true Keller fashion.

(Never doubted the kids! Now the program must still deal with the other issue identified previously.)

Vandegrift definitely doesn’t want to lose that medal, phenomenal job! Super difficult demand in that show! Brass technique has improved so much in just a few days! Wow! Full ensemble sound, even with some funky chords, sounded so balanced. Didn’t notice the oboe solo until now, but you are so talented!!! Loved the sax moment. Trying not to repeat myself from past posts, but outstanding job!

Well, this was the first time I was able to see Vandegrift all the way through. Beautiful presentation. Loved the dance team's uniforms. They definitely had a cosmic feel.

I didn't love the actual music though. I kept waiting for something resembling a song to be played. There was a lot of beat and plenty of horn toots, but not enough melody tying it all together for me. But to each their own. They are highly regarded for a reason.

Oh good lord, the Appian Way played the way it should be, with the full force of the Roman Army! 

Were we listening to the same show? I feel like I need to get in my car and blast an orchestral version of appian way to get it out of my system. They could have extended the most famous part and turned up the volume to face melt.

Oh, oh my beautiful Pearland, thank you so much for bringing that show to the field this season, and WHAT a final performance!!! Just executed oh so spectacularly!! Some of my favorite source music and boy do they play it well. Amazing sounds from this group, those WW's have just been nailing that start all season long, high brass just so gorgeous. Lovely work soloists in the ballad, some lovely sounds from the C-nets, and that ending is to die for, such great effect with the big whatever you'd call them lol. air ballons?? Some super cool visual moments, guard does such a fantastic job at elevating the level of the story and percussion has some super sick moments, love what they do with the symbol line. Truley, Pearland, thank you for brining that magical show to life, and congrats on that fantastic performance!!
