From my perspective, you're just a pup. People would pay to NOT watch people my age. Heck, I'd pay not to watch people my age perform...

🤣🤣🤣 

I was thinking more along the lines of the Golden Girls and making it hilarious. 😁

Also, I just noticed that TxBands considers me currently at an “experienced” level and they say I’m 871 points away from reaching the next level. I can’t wait to see what the next level is called!!  🤣 “Geriatric”??

Coppell has the pop concert show to end all pop concert shows. Would I listen to this music in my own free time? No, not at all, but it works so well in a fun, high energy show. I'm sure the kids love hearing all this K-pop stuff. The set design is magnificent, with the backstage purple lights cast onto the floor, plus the almost 90s Spice Girls-style shiny silver costuming, like they've descended from space. And of course the camera guy is just such a clever touch. As for these girls' skills? They slayed!

This show is SO GOOD!!!!!  I think it’s even World Class worthy. I bet we see them move up in a season or two if they stay on this current trajectory. 

[Tubalord11]

Coppell: OMG!!! I am just so in love with this show, and OH BOY did they execute that well! I would be so surprised if that doesn't 80. I mean wow wow wow!!! I need to see that again! Those girls just absolutely killed it!

Completely agree! Thats definitely my favorite show of the day! 

[J-Mike16]

Oh and the next level (12/14) is called Mentor.

[Tubalord11]

Wonderful performance from James Bowie! I love the story and narration for this one a lot, and the girls absolutely killed it! 

[LeanderMomma]

McKinney and Southmoore make me cry. I may feature them on the On a Water Break podcast this week. 🥹

Did you see the train close down over the guard just as a flag was tossed from outside the train, and someone inside it caught that sucker AFTER the train window came down over them?!  😱😱

OMG that was SO INCREDIBLE! I Saw this comment yesterday and was looking for the moment and wow, that was REALLY IMPRESIVE! Another favorite of mine from today, and another incredible performance!!!

IK Right!!! I mean, I was a little surprised, but both SLC and Friendswood were 100 and 10 percent worthy of those 90s. It also seemed that Coppell(who I thought would place at least top 3 in their class), was really hurt by one judge who had them in 7th.

[Rubisco]

Well, the good news is that Friendswood, Southlake Carroll, and Clear Brook will shoot right up to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in the national standings. The bad news is that I think pretty much all of the Scholastic Open guards in Texas will drop a bit. Hopefully they can turn it around at Dayton!

What do we think the odds are for reclassification at this point? Those friendswood girls are throwing Open class skills for sure, and still 4 weeks until Dayton.

I’m almost 60 so I hear ya!  I actually think there’s a place for amusing shows as well, and I have some hilarious ideas. 😁

Well, maybe a geriatric class should be considered!

I’m only laughing cause it totally messed up my Saturday plans too! 

[packwick]

the McC varsity show this yr is prooobably my favorite yet from them from a design view, either this one or the pandemic one. more layering, more motion to connect events, meaning more blending of body w/ equipment as the girls travel. not quiiite as clean and uniform as usual bc of it but much better than just marching into place and doing a big toss. more fluid looking. + more experimenting w/ release and catch points. prettier floor and costuming too. another batch of baby guard whizzes heading to the hs next year.

speaking of i think many if not most of the soloists in the world guard this year are sophomores. the only reason i know that is bc when i do insta searches for the guard i get all these random soloist pages + i have the memory of an elephant and recognize them on the floor even whilst sporting the classic W Churchill guard hair braids. lololol.

It's possible! I thought all the As at Dallas looked mostly like As, but the Steering Committee might think differently.
