Gehrig4 Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 Vandy- been waiting the whole season to see what’s what. It’s good. It’s technically dynamic. But I have to tell you - I didn’t love it. The confidence they march with - you can feel it. It will be very interesting to see how this clear finalist band ends up. Nice job Vandy. Parkwoodmom and Nny14 2 Quote
Dave609 Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 Vandegrift HS- HELLO VANDEGRIFT! The show came out really good! I definitely see them and Hebron being in the Medalist contention tomorrow! The music was great, the visual's came out very nicely, and I feel that it will come down to who has the best performance tomorrow. Amazing job Vandegrift!! QuadMonkey 1 Quote

For me personally, I think the show design lacks a personal/emotional connection, but perform the HECK out of it, was blown away by them at Area H, but I think they have a real solid shot at medaling, but it's hard for me to see anyone coming close to Hebron at the current moment. Expand You Nailed it. Absolutely nailed it. Did feel bad for the girl that went down and tripped a few others. Tubalord11 1 Quote
Origin Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 Vandy’s simultaneous demand might be unmatched here. They just don’t stop moving, while playing, while being spread so far across the field. Quote

Tubalord11 Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 Amazing performance from Vandergrift! I will admit, after seeing all these other bands, I felt desiring more from the musically, and I ultimately think Hebron will take them, at least tonight. Both were clean, but Hebron's show is just on a completely different level, drill was very clean but some stick outs in the big curvilinear forms, but I think they will still medal. Just so clean all around, great job Viper Band! Gehrig4 and QuadMonkey 2 Quote

Popular Post Saxplayer6 Posted October 31, 2023 Popular Post Posted October 31, 2023 Just saw vandy and maybe it’s because my seats weren’t great I was a little disappointed. Their music was amazing, but they had some visual dirt I wasn’t expecting. Though tbf their drill is insanely hard. Looking forward to seeing them with better seats tomorrow though!

I’m used to the more exciting, action pact shows, but I will say it’s above average in terms of shows; just not their best. However, in terms of cleanliness, Hebron definitely wins in that, but I just am secretly rooting for Vandy since I know they were an unexpected victor last year. QuadMonkey 1 Quote

Expand Yeah I agree, I personally have Hebron and Marcus above them (yes I'm crazy, don't care), but I think they have a much better run in them, but if Hebron pulls off the type of performance they had today, I don't see them getting passed, just my personal opinion but anything could happen here Dave609 and Parkwoodmom 2 Quote
LostChoirGuy Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 Vandegrift to me was a top half of finals performance but not a lock for a medal. Of the ones I saw, I could see Hebron, Vista Ridge, Marcus, The Woodlands, and maybe even Flower Mound on top of them and I missed the first half of the day. Quote

Really bad to get that on camera but recovered fast enough that I couldn’t see anything after the camera moved away. Well done by Vandy, especially the last statement of Bon Iver by the mellophones.

Expand Yeah, I could see this happening, for them it really depends on how the judges feel, because there's a ton of controversy around their show design this year among the fans, but they did win TMC and Area, but again against other Austin area bands, but should be top half, medaling isn't guaranteed, at least for me Gehrig4 and Parkwoodmom 2 Quote
