LostChoirGuy Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 I hate that I have to make choices... Especially on the Houston/ dfw regionals day when they are bubble bands performing at the same time and I may miss out on seeing them again if they dont make finals. Quote

LeanderMomma Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 I don’t know anything about United, but they sure sounded good just now. Loved their uniforms too! And great color guard. Nice show all around. Man, I wish I was there in McAllen right now. The weather looks absolutely perfect! Quote

Definetely a dark horse for the top 5 or even to medal. Yes, I REALLY liked what I saw just now! Quote

LostChoirGuy Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 That's it. I'm caving in and buying a subscription. I am so weak! But in my defense, I did get myself all the way through college without any debt, so I think a little 30 dollar splurge is deserved now that I have less expenses and a steady enough income. Quote

Guest Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Good show from Sharyland, not as big of a sound as United, but I have mad respect for a program that sounds as good on the move as they do standing still. Quote
Rudedog34 Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Been a big fan of United for 3 years. Love their show this year. Quote

No college debt?! That’s truly impressive! Yes, absolutely get the subscription! Quote
Danpod Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Nice start for The Valley this morning!! Quote
LeanderMomma Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Loved that last movement from Roma. You can tell that they’ve worked hard on that particular part of their show, and that they enjoy marching it. The French horn feature was awesome. It needs a little cleaning up in that section, but it has potential. Quote

LM1047 Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 With first block done, what are y'alls thoughts so far? Quote

I would put United at the top of the first block. Overall, I think their program was the most point-worthy. I liked the challenging drill of Sharyland, but the playing is suffering at this point. Roma had a really nice sound at times, but intonation was an issue often throughout the show. Enjoyable performances by all in this block. None that I just didn't like. Quote
Guest Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 I have to agree with you on that. I think United is a finals lock, and Roma and Sharyland are likely finalists, but not quite locks. Quote

LeanderMomma Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Edinburg North had a fantastic start but fizzled a bit after that first big hit. Sure did LOVE the Havana section though, and that trumpet soloist—wow! Quote

LeanderMomma Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Hey, to anyone watching this on FloMarching today, be sure and switch over to the Ohio competition right after Pioneer performs at 3:30. You don’t want to miss seeing Carmel!! They go on at 3:45 CST. They are one of the top bands in the nation for good reason....they are utterly brilliant! Quote
LostChoirGuy Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 I love watching a giant group swarm the field like that! Quote
