NTXBandFan Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 With so many Texas powerhouses going this year, I wonder if Marian Catholic's string of 22 (& counting) consecutive appearances in the finals is in jeopardy. Quote
zururoua Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 It's been said that Marian could miss quite a few years in a row now - I'm sure it will happen eventually - but I don't know if this year will be the year. Quote

And I think they’ll most likely make it 34. For what it’s worth, 2013 and 2016 were both weak years for Marian in which a ton of Texas powerhouses came... and they were fine. Quote

I thoroughly enjoyed their show at Grand Nats last year. I'm sure they will be awesome again this year. Quote
TWHSParent Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 I also very much enjoyed "String Theory" in 2015. They sometimes take on very edgy and potentially controversial programs, but I think that is a good thing. Quote

LostChoirGuy Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 That's a pretty bold prediction putting Prosper in over bands like Castle, William Mason, Marian Catholic, Owasso, and Dobyns-Bennett. Not saying that all 6 bands from texas dont have a chance, but its pretty bold. Quote

bingogooberman Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 Carmel has a really gorgeous, compelling show that could be dangerous at Nats (they just topped avon in prelims at dayton)- though, tbh, they sounded a little rough compared to Avon and certainly compared to FloMo and The Woodlands. Avon has a much more challenging program and are playing better than Carmel, but the visuals are still pretty dirty in the more challenging spots and they aren't quite as nuanced and captivating as Carmel in terms of design.

Anthony V Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 The only realistic indicator this season for Prosper getting into GN finals would be if they win 5A state finals. AvonDad 1 Quote
TWHSParent Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Did anyone else catch the link to Broken Arrow's exhibition performance from their contest? It will be an outstanding show, but I can't stop thinking that we saw this last year, and that makes it a little less special in my view. Not saying they can't win with it since I'm sure they will be adding more visual elements, and the music will improve. I'm just not sold on repeating the pedal cars. I guess we'll see at St. Louis how they pull it off and if they can keep it fresh. If anyone can, BA can. Nny14 1 Quote

Honestly I was bored and all i believe it was , was colorguard with band instead of band with colorguard .Also I feel as they don't play and move much they hold and do visual while playing . I wasn't as impressed . Feel like it's the same although I like the whole sequel concept but just music choices didn't impress me Quote

When they are out there, you want to pay attention because they are that awesome. I missed that with this show. It is early, and the video isn't from the best location, so we'll have to see. Not going to over-react from one video at this point. Quote

Not going to over-react from one video at this point. While it's fair to say they might not carry as much spark as usual, it could be linked to the very recent loss of one of their band students. It was just a couple of weeks ago right after the football game, and as we all can imagine, it would make things very heartbreaking and difficult. I admired their resolve to play on after such a tragedy. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Broken Arrow band family, esp the student's family. I cannot imagine. TWHSParent 1 Quote
Rubisco Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 I’ll break my vow of silence to say this about Broken Arrow: their music is absolutely magnificent — probably my favorite of the year at this stage — and the movement from the band is quite extraordinary. But the overall visual program is disappointing in its familiarity. The cynical part of me (which is honestly probably most of me) wants to say that Wes might have decided to do a sequel this year just to show his other clients that he can win Nationals even with recycled ideas, although probably it has more to do with the fact that he didn’t have as much involvement last year as he wanted to have.

They're all good bands, I just feel those two have had particularly great seasons this year. Quote
