With Prosper getting 4th at Area B, do you all think they will make Finals at Grand Nats? Not sure about this one....

I think a ouija board would be more accurate predicting a bands success at Nationals than UIL results. Lets see how this weekend goes for them.

There's no guarantee and it's not required either but the best predictor of making Finals at Indy is making Finals at San Antonio. Whenever the Prosper Faithful have asked about placement in an upcoming competition the message from those who have been there before has been consistent all season.

 

Students should:

 

Live in the moment.

Focus on improving.

Focus on this performance.

Perform.

 

Parents & Fans should:

 

Live in the moment.

Be delighted by the improvement.

Focus on this performance.

Remember to breathe.

 

Both groups:

 

This may be the longest week and a half of your life. Sleep will be absolutely critical. Food is too. You won't have the required focus or energy without them.

 

At this point you have three competition performances left this season. Focus on maximizing each one in that moment and you may extended it to seven. Enjoy the journey. Perform, or watch, for the sheer joy of it.

I think this was an outstanding performance. I read a couple of negative comments from some people who did not like the Patriotic emphasis of the program. Balderdash. They did an outstanding job. The music was inspiring and well presented.    Wish we had more performances that had the effect Broken Arrow did on the audience.

It’s not PC to be patriotic anymore, and I love that Broken Arrow says, “to heck with THAT!” It’s a masterpiece of a show for sure. And simply gorgeous to look at.

I still think tarpon springs is going to take it this year, although BA performs that show extremely well.

I'm thinking it's a toss up between BA, Tarpon and Carmel.  Any of these shows could win, though Tarpon does have an incredible show this year!

Now that we have the recaps, Prosper is gonna make finals here and they’re gonna make it comfortably.

There’s definitely nothing wrong with being patriotic. BA pulls it off very well from both performance and design! Hoping to see them in the top two.

Grand Nats prelims start tomorrow! I’m super excited and I think we might see Blue Springs beat one of the “top four”.

I really hope so!  I can't wait to see their show, even if only online.  I have heard so many incredible things about them this year!

[TrebleMaker2]

Blue Springs is truly incredible this year-fabulous soloist who does the vocals and violin! Plus their drill and guard are wonderful.

Thank you! I knew I would forget a few.

[LeanderMomma]

Great job representing Texas, Prosper! We will most certainly be seeing you again in semis, if not finals as well.

[littlejaw]

Yeah Semis is a 100% given. We’ll see the semis draw and performance for finals.
