Three won’t happen, but I personally think two can happen if TWHS pulls off the same type of growth they had last year.

 

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.

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!

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.

what is the Woodlands' show? Haven't gotten the chance to see anything about it

 

It's called In the Garden of Cosmic Speculation. 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

Closer is a Christopher Tin selection I believe. Need to see which one.

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!

I'm taking 6 days off work for San Antonio and Indianapolis, so yeah!

Oh I'm so jealous! We had the time of our lives last year doing SA, State and GN all within one week. It was exhausting but a week we will never forget. Have fun and GO #TEAMTEXAS!!!

I’ll be there in person too! Fell in love last year at my first time.

 

All day both days for BOA SA, 5A state finals, and all day Saturday GN.

Wish you'd be at Friday prelims of nats, would love to hear what you think of our show!

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??

 

Yes, 2 bands from Hawaii. Imagine if Texas sent 31 of their best bands!
