Tubalord11 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Wow James Bowie, just wow! Tons of GE throughout the show, they sound fantastic, and march so well! you can tell they want a finals performance at GN's later this season! Loved what I saw and heard so much.

symphbee Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Great performance from Bowie! Some real musically impressive moments. Was anyone else distracted by those capes on the uniform? The visual is getting there but I feel like that just made everything a bit harder to see line up. Definitely in finals contention! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remember the last time they didn't make finals here, but I think they will comfortably be in finals in the 7th-10th range Dave609 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems capes like those are becoming ever so slightly popular in the marching world. I will admit it's a little distracting at times but nothing to harmful. symphbee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been one of the best starting seasons I have seen! Tubalord11, symphbee, Ranxh1938292 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band2021 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Wow Brandeis great opening fan fare! Not really into western themes but i loved the atmosphere of the show. Once again really impressed. symphbee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both had outstanding performances, so it will be fun to see which AAA band comes out on top, plus we still have Rouse to see. Definitely could see McCallum sneak in, but most likely will be a couple out due to the depth of this contest. Cedar Park was much stronger than Leander today. cakesista1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'd very surprised if Leander managed to come close, but they definitely are looking and sounding much better than last year. cakesista1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Great performance from Brandeis! Really loved the little Cowboy bebop at the end. I think they have a solid shot at finals, but will probably be a couple out. Great sound and looks though! that opening hit was very powerful! Trumpet soloist was fantastic all show long. Great job Brandeis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

symphbee Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 not to be dramatic here but Johnson’s pre-show into opener was the most fun I’ve ever had Tubalord11 and Dave609 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave609 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I really liked Moe and Gene Johnson's show! Have to wait for Las Cruces because I forgot they are an hour behind us XD Tubalord11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalord11 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Interesting performance from M.G.Johnson! I don't know how I feel about this show if I'm being honest. They sound great don't get me wrong, but it's not really clicking for me, especially it terms of GE music. I think they still have a solid shot at finals but they probably will be a couple out. The drill was very clean for September however. Great job Johnson! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band2021 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 MG Johnson was very interesting show concept. There is alot of potential for this group In the coming years. Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Origin Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 M&G Johnson is the first band I’ve seen today, so I can’t really attest to their chances for finals, but it was a fun show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

symphbee Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 The finesse Vista Ridge has this early in the season is spectacular - I want to see them really throw down and let us have it in finals! Tubalord11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Origin Posted September 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2023 Not Johnson and Vista Ridge going back-to-back with the same show concept 🙈. Vista sounds amazing! I really love their music this year. I thought the show would be more colorful, but I guess white, black, and red is their brand.

Popular Post Ranxh1938292 Posted September 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2023 To be honest I’m not sure between Vandegrift and Vista Ridge for that 1st place title! After seeing VR, I can only imagine the anticipation for prelims announcements/awards. cakesista1, gregorydf01 and GeekBoy54 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
