Samuel Culper Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 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. Quote
Mmalpica9 Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 CTJ... just my humble oppinion.... there are way too many themes thrown in there... Parkwoodmom 1 Quote
TexasHockeyFan Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 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 Quote
LostChoirGuy Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 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. Quote
GreedyGreen Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 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. Quote
bingogooberman Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 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 Quote
Nny14 Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 CTJ... just my humble oppinion.... there are way too many themes thrown in there... 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. Quote
principalagent Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 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... Quote
BandoFando Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 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. Quote
Kenneth Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 Leander is amazing! I love the horn soloist. TexasHockeyFan 1 Quote
Band2013 Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 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!

bingogooberman Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 anyone spot that kid in Leander's final set dropping into a split? impressive Quote
snares Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 Leander’s brass is absolutely REMARKABLE Quote
principalagent Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 Leander was LIGHTS OUT in the stadium. Absolutely in the medal hunt, and they might take it all home. Quote
LostChoirGuy Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 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. Quote
GeekyBandMom Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 Leander’s colorguard leaves me speechless. My word they are phenomenal! LeanderMomma 1 Quote
Bassesbringthe_ Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 Been saying It all along... Leander is top 4 tonight we will see. Quote

bingogooberman Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 holy hebron! pretty phenomenal run- can they win?? TexasHockeyFan 1 Quote
Rackmaster Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 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 1 Quote
TexasHockeyFan Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 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 Quote
principalagent Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 Vista Ridge is DESERVEDLY getting the absolute best crowd reaction tonight. Is there room for two LISD-South schools on the podium tonight? whitewing09 1 Quote
LostChoirGuy Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 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! TXMarchingMadness87654 1 Quote
