Super excited for this contest as always! Wishing the best of luck to any student performer reading this, go show off all of your hard work and HAVE FUN!

My prediction/discussion days are behind me with my new position but I'll continue to lurk.  Glad this forum is still going strong.

[Zil]

All the best to all those performing tomorrow! I'm excited to see all the shows this season. A new season, a new show, a new set of performers and leaders... have fun with it! 

[Dave609]

McCallum was so good!!!

 

[Tubalord11]

Good morning everyone! We are live here on Box5 starting out with a fantastic performance from Mccallum High School! They brough the sound this morning, and I definitely would not be surprised to see them at state finals again this year for 5A. Some very technical licks that they killed, and that percussion book is no joke. great job Mac band! 

[Dave609]

HELLO CEDAR PARK

[Tubalord11]

MY GOODNESS CEDAR PARK! Throwing down like usual I see! That visual package is so hard in terms of what it requires from each individual, and they all killed it! It's definitely interesting seeing them with no hats and in custom uniforms for I believe the first time, but it definitely doesn't hurt them in anyway. Great job Wolfpack! 

[Hard Core Band Fan]

Great start of the season for Cedar Park. Can't wait to see them at the end of the season. Nice!

[Ranxh1938292]

I had to turn my TV down when Cedar Park hit their opener. I am very excited to see what they have in store!

[Dave609]

great show from Burnet! Can't wait to see how this season treats them 

[Tubalord11]

Very beautiful performance from Burnet! Love the Swan Lake opener, and they have some incredible sounds for this early on in the season! Will be interesting to see how they do in UIL this year. Great job Burnet!

[Dave609]

Stony Point using the introduction piece from Bluecoats 2016, AMAZING!

[MikeKyu]

I love Stony Point's musical selections this season: 

“The Heat of the Day” by The Pat Metheny Group; “Scheherazade” by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsokov; and “Spices, Perfumes, and Toxins” by Avner Dorman

[Ranxh1938292]

This is all absolutely amazing! Solid performances from absolutely everyone we’ve seen so far!!

[FaultLineBlues]

Holy glow up, Stony Point! Great work!! 

[Tubalord11]

Great performance from Stony Point! They sound really really good, and they looked incredible as well! The oboe soloist absolutely nailed it! Looking forward to see how they do this season! Great job Stony Point!

[symphbee]

Stony Point could really pack a punch with their sound! And that oboe soloist - beautiful playing!

[Dave609]

Time for Leander! Can't wait to see what they have in store

[natertater21000]

okay, I have to comment on the sun "rippling" across the field at the start of moon river. I love when the sun plays an inadvertent role 😂

[symphbee]

you can FEEL how bad Leander wants this through their performance, just emanating energy!! Reigning that in to a polished performance is gonna make them unstoppable - excellent performance today!

[Tubalord11]

WOW WOW WOW LEANDER!!! That music performance felt unreal for late September! The really pull off the "Ripple" part of the show with the visuals, and the music is just phenomenal sounding! Soloist and guard were on fire, just a wonderful performance all around. Could possibly see them in the top 6 tonight, maybe... either way Fantastic job Leander! 

[Band2021]

Love the drill design from Leander this year! Great concept. 

[symphbee]

Hutto??? That full band sound is CRAZY GOOD!!! Literally was jump scared by that opening hit - I could listen to y’all all day.

[Ranxh1938292]

Hutto did a FANTASTIC job, absolutely loved that ensemble sound! Could I possibly be an assistant at that band hall and just listen to that sound??
