Percussion is awesome too. Looks like the whole show is on the field. Just really really impressive all around. They always seem to get scored lower than I think they will, so hopefully that doesn’t happen this time. Expand Nice to see the "Mothership" again (Mandarin's, Vista Ridge's and now Coppell's big rotating platform)! I liked the way they used it with the center prop. and paint scheme. I agree they looked and sounded really good! Hope to see them in finals! Origin 1 Quote
Origin Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 Lone Star ? I saw their small front ensemble and definitely under estimated them. Why have I never really heard of this band before?!? That was so good! I think they have a very legitimate shot at finals. Parkwoodmom and gregorydf01 2 Quote
jmj Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 Holy wow, Lone Star!! So many notes! I am floored! What a total package! Quote
cjm715 Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 I’m not the craziest about lone stars show but it’s so great to see a 5A play like that! I think they have a great shot. Parkwoodmom 1 Quote
Origin Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 Waxahachie plays so well! They need to commit to that ballad jam out part so that moment really clicks. I wanna know the significance of the different people on the props. Quote

Expand It was definitely the spot you could tell that they enjoy playing the most, i personally felt a lot of energy down here close to the field on the 50 but it may register differently in other parts of the stands!

Expand I’m watching online, but I was more talking about the moment visually. I could see them kindof grooving to the music and wanted them to really go for it. Quote
Origin Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 I love the music Keller is playing, especially the Bach section! Typical Keller with lots of technical and difficult playing. Cool use of the prop in the ballad. Visually, the show lacks GE, and I think they have a cleaner performance in them. Quote

BandFan59 Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 Keller plays very well, but visually I think it's just a little bit lacking right now. There's just something missing to give the show an extra oomph. Quote

They cut it a little tight but they always make it work in the longer run. Quote

The prop usage in the ballad reminded me of a Flanagan World Guard show, and I wish they did more of that. Quote
Origin Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 Ugh, I’m kindof obsessed with this Flower Mound show. It’s so weird! Having two jam out (idk what to call it lol) sections back to back was interesting. I wasn’t expecting to see the full show! I’ve definitely seen video of them giving a cleaner performance, but ima blame the heat. Still don’t know if I love the field setup (seeing band and guard members going through the front ensemble scares me lol) Quote
BandFan59 Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 Flower Mound improved so much in a week from the Wylie competition! Visually their forms were impeccable and they still sound phenomenal. The first opening hit is one of my favorites this season. The playfulness and theme of the show is starting to come together for me, I really enjoyed the choreography with the battery and front ensemble jamming out. I still don't know if this is a Grand Nationals winning show, but it's definitely going in the right direction. FloMoParent 1 Quote
jmartin1056 Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 My top 3 after prelims: Hebron - Music, GE marcus - Visual Flower Mound All 3 were stellar in their own right, I just wasn’t super wowed by Flower Mound when compared to the other 2. I won’t be surprised if they win prelims based on how early the other 2 went, but I think that the prelims placements will change tonight. Bladezz 1 Quote

Origin Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 My (probably incorrect) prediction of the 12 finalists (in no particular order): Timber Creek LD Bell Marcus Flower Mound Forney Keller Lone Star Wakeland Waxahachie Hebron (I think they win prelims) Coppell Southlake Carroll -Just Out- Haltom James Martin Aledo Keller Central Centennial Quote

LostChoirGuy Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 Waxahachie has grown a lot recently. I think they might be AAAA now. Quote
