That North show had everyone on their feet! It’s just something you could listen to all day long, literally a jazz band marching show, and it works so well! I do wonder how they will be judged visually, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they made the night show! Just such wonderful sounds, and the vocalist was great, amazing job MN!

UGHHH! I wish I had saw! Did they do good?

Hendrickson: WOW. Very powerful sounds! I was jamming out in the bus! One thing I didn’t like though was the seemingly harsh sorta sounding sounds (idk how to describe it), but some of the notes sounded very forced out. However, the music is very fitting, and I enjoyed the clarinet soloist at the beginning of the show (from a clarinet’s perspective, it was very clean, very well controlled and had great input vs output of notes)!

First time seeing Henny live and they DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Such a really fun show, and each person commits to their role! Loved the Bari and Trumpet soloist, so good, and some really good marching! Should solidly make finals, much improved since Austin, but I wouldn’t say it’s 100% guaranteed, but I hope they do. Great job Hendrickson!

I agree! It was very well rounded! I enjoyed the visual aspect along with the music (although I didn’t comment on it, mb)

Yeah they are typically harsh this time of season, but by state it always sounds fantastic and fun! Always on the henny train🚂

I’m a Hendrickson fan after seeing their performance last year with the train.  This year started off kind of “eh” for me when I saw them in Austin.  This was more like the energetic performance that I LOVE about Hendrickson and exactly what sets them apart.  Was SO glad to see they were leaning back into the energy and seemed to have found their groove since Austin. Pleasantly surprised

Alright, good to know! I hope they balance out some of the chords or at least handle dynamics! I hope they make finals, it was a very clean show!

I agree! Im not so certain in placing them in the top 6, but I do see them in finals, or barely out of if at all

Keller Central: OH. MY. GOD. This was incredible! The clarinet soloist was very very good at conveying the music, very powerful sound, and good contrasting dynamics! The visuals were very clean, but I did hear slight audio issues (probably the point; but oh well). As for the whole ensemble, they definitely are fighting for finals! I enjoyed this show, and I hope they advance!

Holy cow Keller Central! That is one huge sound! Such a rich and powerful brass! Really enjoy their visual package, guard was great but I’m just absolutely blown away by their huge sound, we’ll definitely be in finals and I would be pretty surprised if they don’t make state this year. Amazing job KC!

Do you know how much Box5 costs?

Expand  

The costs vary depending on the event. Regionals are $17 for prelims and finals (each) or $28 for both purchased together. Super regionals are $20 for each prelim, $25 for the finals only, or $38 for the prelims and finals purchased together. The best value is the Pro Pass for $165 and you can watch the whole season's events, both prelims and finals.

Great performance from Grapevine! I could see them wining AA music, but I think I’d still give visual and GE to Lovejoy. Some splatty sounds, but they marched very well, and have a great musical presence. Great job Grapevine!

Super fun show from Midlothian! Love they guard doing the kick steps during the “all I want for Christmas” part. Great soloist all around, a little bit of dirt in the brass but pretty good for the most part. I wonder how they will do at area this year, great job Midlothian!

Great performance from Whitesboro! They have a great sound for their size, love the theme and the prop change at the end was very cool! Should have another successful season with UIL this year. Great job Whitesboro!

Here's what I'm currently thinking, not going to make placement preds till we get closer: 

Top 5: Keller, LD Bell, Timber Creek, Waxahachie, Wakeland 

Next 5: Keller Central, Mustang, Prosper, Hendrixson, SLC 

Fighting for last two spots: Aledo, Duncanville, Mckinney Boyd/North, Forney, Clear Brook, Rock Hill

Finalist Potential: Highland Park, Berkner, Lake Highlands, Rockwall, Sachse, Tom Glen, Fossil Ridge, Walnut Grove 

 Possible but pretty unlikely: Creekview, Grapevine, Mckinney

Amazing performance from L.D. Bell! Really love how the come together at the end for the opener to form the big dot! Great soloist, powerful ensemble sound and guard was fantastic! Great job Bell!
