Good job Reedy! That’s the first time I think I’ve ever seen a contra bass clarinet on the field.

Lovely show this afternoon Timberview! That’s a fun show, and y’all do a great job despite the small band size.

[ViewFromTheBox]

Wow Carroll! That was a fun show as well. Love the french horn feature.

[ViewFromTheBox]

Wonderful performance there North Crowley. Loved “Sleep” for the ballad. The ending definitely was interesting as well.

[ViewFromTheBox]

That was a “sweet” show, Highland Park. Lots of fun moments in there, both musically and visually.

[ViewFromTheBox]

Nice show Granbury! Really a lot to like about that show, especially musically.

[ViewFromTheBox]

Wonderful performance today, Colleyville Heritage! Loved the use of Pure Imagination as the ballad.

[ViewFromTheBox]

Great job today, Ranchview! That was a really fun trumpet buzzing feature.

[ViewFromTheBox]

Lovely show this afternoon, Trinity! Hope to see you again in finals tonight.

[ViewFromTheBox]

Nice performance today, Kennedale!

Last break before the final block of bands for prelims.

Thanks for keeping a running commentary for us that can't make it. I was able to get there for a few before Summit and a few after Summit, but haven't been able to make it back yet. I hope to make it back to finals if Summit makes it. Are you going to post the finalists and the caption winners? 

[LostChoirGuy]

I agree- it has been nice to read your commentary!

[ViewFromTheBox]

Glad y’all like it. Not gonna lie, running out of steam a bit. Been a while since I’ve been at a contest. Missed this.

[ViewFromTheBox]

That was a bee-autiful performance Burleson! That contra feature in Flight of the Bumblebee was really cool.

[ViewFromTheBox]

Great job today Sam Houston! Loved There’s No Place Like Home as the ballad.

[ViewFromTheBox]

Lovely performance this afternoon Cleburne! Always a fan of Wizard of Oz shows.

[ViewFromTheBox]

Awesome job by McKinney to close out prelims here this afternoon. Great soloists.

can't wait to find out who made finals!

Wow!  Way to go Southlake Carroll!  Its a shame they aren't competing tonight because it looks like they are in a position to medal or even win this.  I'm excited to see how they do at St. Louis (and BOA DFW).

[ViewFromTheBox]

Timberview gets us started with an exhibition performance. They definitely play a lot bigger than their size. Great job today, y’all!

[ViewFromTheBox]

Outstanding job Fossil Ridge! There’s so much to love about this show, especially with the music. That mellophone soloist nailed it both times today. Best of luck the rest of the season!

[ViewFromTheBox]

Wonderful performance tonight Trinity! Loved the ballad, especially the bassoon solo. Good luck the rest of the way!

[ViewFromTheBox]

Great job Legacy in finals! Fantastic brass sound. And that’s probably the best piccolo solo I’ve heard in any setting. Definitely an Area F finalist contender.

[ViewFromTheBox]

Wow, Martin! Just wow! Love that show! Using Mr. Sandman in a minor key for the ballad is perfect. Definitely put their name in the mix for first place tonight.
