Del Rio 7. Warren ...................... 8. Brandies 9. Stevens 10. Judson 11. Brennan 12. O’Connor 13. Taft 14. Steele 15. Marshall 16. Clark 17. Clemens 18. Eagle Pass 19. East Central You region 29 and 32 folks what do you think? I didn’t go to Rocket Review which many of theses guys went head to head. Samcdaniel96 and ohwell 2

Honestly after what I watched at gupton today I'd switch Vista and vandy. gregorydf01 1
jmj Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 The larger classifications were all amazing at Region 32 today! I do agree that Vista Ridge was especially incredible - they blew me away!

I think your 6 to 11 ranking could fall in any order. As a Brandeis parent, I know they have yet to add in the drum break. If they can clean things up enough in the next week, they could slip by Warren or Del Rio. Or drop to 11, who knows! I see your point and I think that can happen as well. But I think it’s more like 6-9. Brennen is just too unbalanced, aggressive, and out of tune to beat Del Rio.
principalagent Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 If Vista Ridge won Area this week, which I believe is very possible, it'll be their second win–their first being 2013 5A Area D. They then went on to grab the 3rd place medal at state, moving behind Vandegrift and Cedar Park. If only LISD can pull off such a sweep this season! While I don't think it will happen, it's honestly not out of the realm of possibility.

principalagent Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 No judge said that, but the response here plus how their season is going generally wouldn’t make it a shock to me. Danpod 1

I'd argue everyone pretty much knew who was going to get gold for the last decade. Marcus was unmatched on a uil score sheet and no one was going to challenge flomo in 2016. This year though? I can honestly say it's completely up for grabs between at least 5 groups. It's gonna come down to who has the best run Tuesday afternoon and that's super exciting.

No one can predict with any real accuracy who will even medal this year. It’s crazy and it’s fun.
david19c Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Any more thoughts on how the LISD bands will stack next saturday?

Hard to say, I feel like they are fairly evenly matched(they were all within 1.1 points at Austin). Right now I'd give the the nod at area to vista ridge based on region performances. That being said these groups are so close that I feel like a productive week of rehearsals and a strong run in finals could put any one of the three on top.

Yeah, they often get forgotten but they perform very well. The city of Cedar Park often celebrates Cedar Park High school and never mentions when the other school in Cedar Park does well or even out performs them.

That was a nice counterbalance to all of the Vandy parents who walked out of the stadium after their kids performed. AGAIN.

jmj Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 I will also add that I was extremely impressed with Lake Travis yesterday. It’s probably the best they’ve ever looked. They are getting great depth of sound. I also think that the show is very engaging and has some great touches to evoke Coco Chanel and Stravinsky. Plus they are including some Petrushka which is one of my faves.
