I think there are a lot of us TW parents worried about this exact thing- first up was a very tough draw.

 

There are so many amazing bands. I wish I knew more to understand the nuances between the scoring better- but it’s so hard to guess who will get to finals.

In my opinion, UIL judging is very inconsistent at state. Especially prelims. You can have a band get a ton of single digit placements and then one judge has them at 25. Thankfully finals is often much more consistent than prelims

Of all bands, the Woodlands has nothing to worry about. I can’t really imagine a scenario where they don’t advance. Coppell, Westlake, Cedar Ridge, and Bowie will be hurt by their draw time in the first block. They’re all bands on the bubble for finals, and will now be pushed even further into the bubble compared to bands like TWCP, Pearland, Prosper, Hendrickson, etc etc.

Yeah, I also was thinking about that but it's the woodlands when was that last time they missed state finals?

If I remember correctly, they had an early draw with Hide and Seek?? 2006???

What a show. One of my favorites out of that school.

Vista Ridge is stunning I am surprised that this is the same band from the years before, they seem focused and confident.

Yes, mine too, but didn’t make finals

Can we just turn txbands into a Vista Ridge appreciation message board? They’ve been nothing short of iconic this season.

Indeed. It was such a shame. Although, I'm sure they forgot about it the second they won their class championship at nationals a few days later. haha!

 

And then they, again, drew early in national finals. yeesh

I agree 100% it's been amazing to see how good they have gotten this year.

[GeekyBandMom]

Vista Ridge sells this show like nothing else, you can see they love it beginning to end. Holy smokes, just beautiful!!!

Agreed. They just outdid their BOA Finals performance. My jaw is still on the ground.

Amen! I cry and smile huge at the same time EVERY TIME I watch them!

[Samuel Culper]

I think that was a pretty good run for Vista.

Sweet ******* Christ.  Vista Ridge.

 

Note: I had to physically edit this myself because I am actually allowed to type curse words on here.

Round Rock with the toughest draw of the day between the fan favorite break out and the returning Champion.

Vista.  Ridge.  Incredible.

Ahhhhhh. We had a medical emergency right as John horn was coming on. The "emergency" is on her way to the hospital w/ a broken ankle.

 

BUT!! More importantly, how did John Horn do? Any chance they go on?

 

& yes on VISTA RIDGE!! AWESOME SHOW

[Mmalpica9]

There are not missing moments in Vista Ridge show... every part has a reason and support the next one. I love the passion these kids put into this show!!

[principalagent]

I don’t think John Horn will advance, but great showing with an entertaining show in their first appearance at the SMBC!

Oh no,   I hope they heal soon.

Apparently tired chaperones & Alamodome stairs are a bad combo. :/

[BandGuy2]

Round rock did well but I don’t think they’re finals worthy. I enjoyed their show it just wasn’t very clean.

[jcbg]

Now that everyone has gone (except for FM, but let's be real, they're not missing finals) any predictions?

[LeanderMomma]

I love the trumpet soloist in Round Rock’s show. ❤️

My Leander mom friend sprained her ankle last year on those evil stairs.
