borchnork Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 On my way to the dome!!! Good luck to EVERY band competing. Put your best show out for the state to see. You all earned it!
tatefoster9 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Ahahaha since when does John Madden commentate band? I thought he did football
mountainrunner25 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Can I be there first to say on the forums that having the live streaming video on txbands live is blowing my mind. Great job admins, you just keep making this site better and better. Oh and a shout out to Yamaha for providing the funds to have the video in the first place.
borchnork Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 And now time for the 6 hour wait for results....
Omg159 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 What about centennial? Do you guys think they have a chance of winning!?!

the_DRUM_MAJOR Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I cannot believe Alice was left UNRECOGNIZED for a an ICONIC performance. The virgin sacrifice was the pivotal crux and LEGENDARY moment in 4A band history. It was both revolutionary, bold, daring, etc.

This was a tough contest to call, though I somehow got 9/10 of the finalists right (Wakeland possibly fell victim to their super early performance time for me in favor of Newman Smith. I did have Wakeland 12th though!)

Let's see what kind of shakeup we get in finals because I think its going to be wide open.
CPFrntEns Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 A source from inside the CP band told me that they got straight 1st ratings. I cannot confirm this personally, but I very much trust this source

They are by far the band to beat in my non-professional opinion. Still I wouldn't count Centennial, Dripping Springs and Friendswood out right yet.

I would also be surprised if those bands did not round out the top 4 in some order. Hopefully we'll find out soon!
longhornsax Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 The finals bands seemed to be pretty predictable. The Area D bands, the Area F bands, Waxahachie and the top Area B bands. What's not so predictable is what's gonna happen in this mess of a finals. Should be the best 4A state finals EVER, hands down. I would be pretty amazed if CP got straight 1's in this thing, but I guess we'll find out soon enough. On a side note, what is with CP and their terrible draws this year? Guess it's not slowing them down much
CPFrntEns Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) I agree with all of the above posts. Regardless of Prelims scores, Finals is gonna be crazy. So many good bands, one after the other. Wish I could be there, but the livestream is awesome too! UPDATE FROM SOURCE: Prelims placements: 1. Cedar Park 2. Dripping Springs 3. Wake land 4. Vandegrift Again, this is unconfirmed, but I trust the source Edit: SORRY! 4th is Vandy, not LT Edited November 8, 2011 by CPFrntEns
the terminator Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 WOAH!!! Did anyone else see that coming?? I am a Wakeland alum and didn't think they would be up there, but like we discussed finals will be wide open and anyone can come in and take it.
sarahkh Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I know that Cedar Park is gonna be tough to beat, but Dripping Springs did it at Area. I wouldn't put them in the untouchable category just yet.
dietVernors Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Oh man oh man I'm so excited for finals. I'm sure all the bands will be great! This has been my first time at the dome. I say good luck to all the area D bands, they're all so good its hard to say who will win!
CPFrntEns Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 And they're up: http://utdirect.utexas.edu/uilsmbc/lbw2_sc...;s_display_sw=R
