LKendrick Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 No Forsan? Wow, wonder when the last time they didn't make finals was. Anyone have the prelims rankings? UIL seems slower to update this year. Quote
Xenon Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 Yup, no Forsan. I had them in my Finals predictions, but they didn't make it. Prelims rankings haven't been published yet. Quote

jmj Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Most folks are too young to know this show, but when Holliday pushes the panels of their mountaintop painting together at the end of their show, it reminds me of when The Colony did that with their train panels at the end of their Ghost Train show back in 2000. Very effective. Xenon 1 Quote
jmj Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Denver City! Love that mellophone duet on Feast Day In Seville! One of my favorite pieces! Quote

LKendrick Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Congrats to New Deal! Itty bitty town between here and Lubbock. Was hugely impressed with the video I saw 3 weeks ago, definitely not surprised they took it. And congrats to Whitesboro on the repeat! Quote

LKendrick Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Very proud of my Alma Mater Canyon. They've been working incredibly hard since to move up from 3A in 2008, and it was pretty surreal getting to watch them perform at state for the first time in 9 years on the webcast this morning! Their progression in recent years has been a blast to watch develop. I bet it only continues in the coming years, they're doing everything they can to become a better program every year. meataylo 1 Quote
vincentlee1220 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Waxahachie's closer sounds unnervingly similar to Cedar Park 2013 opener, even the nuances in the music I remember are there, haha Great run though. They and Centennial look great. 96Silver 1 Quote

natertater21000 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Why do some bands appear unnamed on the schedule? Like when it just says AREA E BAND. Quote
vincentlee1220 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 That's the old schedule. New: http://www.uiltexas.org/files/music/1A__5A_Tentative_Schdule_Table_1.pdf Anyways, super pumped about seeing my underclassmen perform w Vista Ridge! Good job on a better run than area and best wishes for an even better last one tonight! Quote
jmj Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 My personal favorites from the first half of 5A: -Vista Ridge. The velocity! I also adore that reprise of Kaval Sviri at the end. The most blended sound from treble to bass so far today. -Waxahachie. Lovely musical selections all over and I am sucker for the Tchaikovsky R&J that they nailed at the end. -Centennial. Just a great show with incredible brass on all that tough Respighi. Do they ever go to BOA? Would love to see them there - I think people would be talking about them the same way as Wakeland if they just had some more exposure at the early season contests. Come to BOA Austin next year! -Chisolm Trail. The band sounded just lovely on Jupiter and Elsa's Procession. Great idea to use that during the Queen's coronation scene. -McKinney. Truly, all of the sections sounded as if they were indeed "on fire" during parts of that show. So many notes. Watching at work in between meetings and really wishing I'd taken the day off so I could just sit at home and watch uninterrupted. Great morning of bands so far! SKB 1 Quote
whitewing09 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Apparently I'm late to the game. What time does finals start for 5A? Quote
Xenon Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 1A Finals Schedule: 8:45 - Wink 8:58 - Nueces Canyon 9:11 - Whiteface 9:24 - Crosbyton 9:37 - Ropes Quote
LHSax Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I'm not a drumline guy, and rarely notice them, but Vandy's drumline is on freaking fire! They command your attention! This show has really grown on me throughout the year. Quote
LHSax Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Leander/Cedar Park are just on a completely different level then the rest of this competition. It's them, then everyone else. As to who takes gold tonight, I have no idea. But there's your 1-2. Quote
LHSax Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 5 Area D, 4 Area B and Waxahachie. No real surprises here. The judges are gonna get a reallllly good comparison of the LISD bands. There's no way that's random, right? What could possibly be the chances the 4 of them would start out finals? Quote
