2018 BOA San Antonio?

[Samuel Culper]

CTJ presents America: Under the Sea?

 

They are an acquired taste and I have realized I will not ever acquire it.

 

Taking nothing from their skill. They are amazing. I just do not care for their style. At all.

[Mmalpica9]

CTJ... just my humble oppinion.... there are way too many themes thrown in there...

[TexasHockeyFan]

Thoughts on CTJ :

 

Very powerful message behind the show and the music was very well played., however not as visually clean in the beginning as this morning from the perspective of FloMarching MultiCam. * From what i saw*

 

 

THAT SAX THOUGH. JUST WOW.

 

The speaker for the show was also very inspiring with his tone of voice

 

Overall, not my favorite style of show but they presented the show in a fashion that made the show very enjoyable. Great job and props to CTJ

[LostChoirGuy]

CTJ's show grew on me over the year.  I still don't like their style either, but there is no denying that they are one of the best high school bands in the entire nation.  

 

As for the advertisements, you don't really get them on high cam.  Multicam has them all the time.

[GreedyGreen]

On the contrary, I think CTJ’s show has to be my favorite in terms of accessible emotional impact. Their show has a clear message and those kids sold it.

very clean run from CTJ- passionate, too. closer wasn't quite as clean but top 5 feels like a certainty and a medal very likely

Yeah the theme is kinda a mess this year. It's like someone put Avon, Carmel, and Broken Arrows shows this year in a blender.

Wait...

[BandoFando]

Keller and The Woodlands we my two “wow” bands of the first half. It’s crazy because both these bands could EASILY make top half at any other BOA competition in the nation. Just superb in every way! Battle for top 7 will be brutal and I could see a lot shifting between prelims and finals.

Leander is amazing! I love the horn soloist.

[Band2013]

Leander: Amazing group musically they have really pushed it the last few weeks much stronger from the early season contest. Their theme this year very unique amazing what simple props can do to really add on a lot of effect. a lot of circle concept drill design they are so clean and precise very hard when you moving so fast. They have tremendous piano to forte moments this is what sets finalist bands apart from the other bands focused tones that resonate the entire dome! also good use of guard during those impacts, very good!

[TexasHockeyFan]

THAT LEANDER FINISH THOUGH!!

[bingogooberman]

anyone spot that kid in Leander's final set dropping into a split? impressive

[snares]

Leander’s brass is absolutely REMARKABLE

[principalagent]

Leander was LIGHTS OUT in the stadium. Absolutely in the medal hunt, and they might take it all home.

[LostChoirGuy]

I have seen Leander's show several times during the season and that was my favorite performance.  I have liked them all season, but never really felt that they were necessarily fighting for a top 5 spot.  I can see it happening tonight, though.  We will see, though because everyone has been amazing.

[GeekyBandMom]

Leander’s colorguard leaves me speechless. My word they are phenomenal!

[Bassesbringthe_]

Been saying It all along... Leander is top 4 tonight we will see.

[principalagent]

Hebron with a much much much better run than prelims.

YES!

 

Amazing performance! Loved the mellos!

[bingogooberman]

holy hebron! pretty phenomenal run- can they win??

[Rackmaster]

The concession lines are super long, so I missed cedar ridge, the woodlands, CTJ, and Leander. But holy crap Hebron. I. Am. Lost. I have never watched a high school show that I am not connected to that has given me chills until now. Phenomenal. Wow. Yes.

[TexasHockeyFan]

 

 

Hebron thoughts -

 

OK. I’m going to say it. I’m a little disappointed that the changes I thought would be made didn’t happen. I’m still in awe.

 

Holy WOW there’s no other words. I’m utterly really amazed by the run that Hebron just performed. Can’t wait to see how things pan out for them at Awards & UIL

[principalagent]

Vista Ridge is DESERVEDLY getting the absolute best crowd reaction tonight.

 

Is there room for two LISD-South schools on the podium tonight?

[LostChoirGuy]

That has got to feel amazing for those Vista Ridge kids to get a reaction like that from the audience.  They were roaring before they even finished their closer!
