Tubalord11 Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Solid performance from Hendrickson! It's not my favorite show or music, but they sounded really good, but some dirt in the sound, definitely not as strong as last year as of now. We'll see how they progress over the season, still a good amount of work to do. Great job Henny! symphbee 1 Quote

Tubalord11 Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Very intriguing and well sounding show from Dripping Springs! That opening statement was very big and impactful, overall very good sounds. Seems like they had some issues with their mics which is always unfortunate, but definitely in contention for finals! I'm very excited to see how they grow over the season as I think come the final stretch this show will be very strong. Ballad was also very impactful. A little dirt in the brass but it's hot as heck some that's completely understandable. Great job Dripping Springs! Quote
Tubalord11 Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 I'm unfortunately not able to watch the rest of prelims or finals due to football game marching band stuff here at Baylor, but hopefully I'm able to watch prelims awards between the end of rehearsal and heading over to the stadium. Great job today everyone, best of luck to tonight's finalist! symphbee 1 Quote

Origin Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Dripping Springs making a solid case for finals. I think it’ll be them, Johnson, Hendrickson, and Lake Travis fighting for the last 2 spots in finals. But that’s assuming Leander and Westwood are in finals, who I didn’t get to see.

I'm currently praying that they do so you win that $$$ but in all seriousness I think they have a solid shot, everyone's just been showing up today, so it really comes down to the small details that the judges see and hear that will determine tonight's finalist.

Tubalord11 Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 also, last post for now, here's my rankings for the 3rd block (guessing on Vandy and Rudder) Vandergrift Round Rock Lake Travis Dripping Springs Hendrickson Weiss Tom C. Clark Chaparral James Earl Rudder Veterans Memorial Quote

Ranxh1938292 Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 And here’s vandy!! these guys are eye candy. Quote
FaultLineBlues Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Vandy's show design this year reminds me of Reagan a bit! Miyazuu and Vandy_Insider 2 Quote
Origin Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Very minimal with the props this year for Vandy, just letting the music and the marching do the talking. The whole breathless alleluia opener is so good and the glissando at the end of the ballad was instant chills! I’m always so impressed with how much they get on the field and how clean it is. Quote
symphbee Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Finalists (my opinion, in order kind of): 1 - 3: Cedar Park (VIS) Vandegrift (GE) - I think the heat significantly impacted prelims, would not be surprised if they swept in finals Vista Ridge (Music) 4 - 5: Rouse Cedar Ridge 6 - 9: Round Rock Westwood (might be biased, a personal fav) Leander Bowie 10 - 12: Westlake Dripping Springs Lake Travis Just Out: Hendrickson (could see maybe them in and Westlake out) Quote
