Obviously I'm biased, but I think they are having similar growth this year based upon what I saw at UIL Region this past Tuesday. I could be wrong since I'm not a judge. They are doing a full run-through tonight after the football game at Woodforest if anyone is in the neighborhood. Homecoming game, so no halftime performance. Quote

And speaking of high school football and band AND Grand Nats ... tonight we have Flower Mound at Marcus. A halftime show not to be missed! LeanderMomma 1 Quote
LostChoirGuy Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Prosper looks pretty good. I see them being very successful at State this year. I still dont think I can get on board the idea of them making finals at GNats though. Especially with the caliber of programs coming this year and the fact that many deserving bands arent going to make it already. Quote

Off the top of my head I can only remember two of the music pieces - Adoration of Veles and Ala from Scythian Suite, and How Great Thou Art. Inspired by the actual garden located in Scotland. Edited to add musical selections: Adoration of Veles and Ala from Scythian Suite All This Shall Be Yours How Great Thou Art Temen Oblak Quote

I'm not convinced TWHS belongs in the top 3 this year. There was a video on YouTube of their UIL performance, and the drill from the ballad to the end still lacks a lot of readability. To be fair, it's extremely difficult. They perform all of those woodwind runs and syncopated brass attacks in their closer while on the move, and they jazz run into their final set. The show itself is quite excellent, sans the weird balls, and I think it has a higher placement ceiling than any of the shows they competed against at Conroe, but clean it ain't. Then again, they're notorious late-season bloomers, and they've got a couple weeks for cleaning. Can't wait to see all of the shows from high up in a dome setting! Quote

Hard Core Band Fan Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 A couple of useless statistics: 100 bands attending from 23 States.

LostChoirGuy Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 I'm surprised by how high Ohio is and how low Indiana is. Also TN and KY are pretty high, though they are fairly close. And is that two bands from Hawaii?? Quote
