At least we got to see an awesome pregame show. I predict a medal tomorrow...wait that's today.

I dont see that happening - to medal they would need to push out Vandy, Leander or CTJ - I would be surprised to see that - but time will tell

He’s referring to Leander. We were the pregame show. ;-)

I was so bummed that Henny didn’t get to finish their performance. Terrible timing on the rain. I can’t wait to see them later today!

 

I wish I could sleep.

It's contest day!! I can already hear the warm ups and taste the Bush's chicken rolls

Every time I try to load the txbands front page on my phone to see the live blog, I get one of those BS Google virus infection warnings. Aargh!

Sitting on the 50, row 17, ready!

WOW Vista Ridge!  Its not very often that sitting here at my computer, I actually vocalize my amazement.  What a special show!

In the immortal words of one of my favorite rappers: "Top five no debating. Top five, top five, top five"

[FaultLineBlues]

Wow, I've seen Cedar Ridge every week and they still managed to surprise me with how much they turned it up.

[LKendrick]

I'm all about Vista Ridge.  

[herbaflerb]

I’ve been generally affected all morning. Are we sure this isn’t SA?

[LostChoirGuy]

I agree that all of the shows have been really good so far.  I was expecting to enjoy Cedar Park's show more than I did.  Like, it was impressive in many regards, but I didn't really like it.

I feel like I ended up the same way with Vista Ridge. The kids are performing the HECK out of the show and they sound amazing but I feel like it could use more towards getting the concept across? I didn't get the lost sense too much. But overall their performance was great.

It seems to me like one of those shows that you begin to notice the subtleties in the drill that show the message the more you watch it.

If you didn't get the "lost" sense from the ballad, well, I really don't know what to do with that. For me, it's pretty overwhelming every time I hear it.

[Guest]

Stevens blew me away! Such a big, full sound.

I have to agree. Vista is a fantastic band but the concept was kind of not really conveyed. I felt it a bit during the ballad but overall it seemed like it wasn’t too “lost”.

I was most impressed with Vista Ridge so far. Hope this rain stops!

Rain and lightning. They've evacuated the stands. Not looking good.

[Rudedog34]

Yes. Just as the Henny buses arrived. REALLY!!

Pouring rain, thunder, and some lightning.

it's looking like it's here to stay for awhile.
