Dave609 Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 United HS- I really liked that ballad! The opener of the show was very interesting (hoping I didn't hear a tear towards the first hit ). Their visuals were really cool as well! Overall, I really enjoyed the show! Congratulations to the Laredo United HS Band! Edit- Forgot to mention, I really liked how in the opener, they utilized one side of the field for the guard and had the band be on the other side. Really was unique compared to other bands who use that feature later on in a show. Quote
Tubalord11 Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 @DeadMascot WOW UNITED! I see why they've had such a successful season, they did incredible! That percussion is doing some serious work for their size, drill was very clean, soloist were wow, just an amazing performance all around! So happy to see them back at the state contest, so well deserved! Great job United! Dave609 and gregorydf01 2 Quote

LostChoirGuy Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 I missed United's opener, but really loved their second half. Great job! Quote
Dave609 Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 Westlake- That pre-opener was really good! The music that the front ensemble played was really beautiful! The Ballad, gave me chills! Yes to the tuba feature! And can I just say that I legit had tears, I don't know why but the music truly one of the best I have heard this year! Thank you Westlake for a spectacular performance :). Also, they did very well with the Circles in the visuals. Quote
Origin Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 I love how much Westlake features their woodwinds Quote

Tubalord11 Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 What a run for Westlake!!! Their best of the season for sure, a VERY strong case for finals!!! Just very big, rich sounds all around, visuals were super clean, and a great performance of Barber 1! Loved the tuba feature (obviously!), just a really great show all around! gregorydf01 1 Quote

Amazing sound on the big hit! The visuals are AMAZING! I have nothing else to say on that :). The ballad is great! As they say, Flowers Bloom, so does hope! Thank you for the AMAZING performance today! I hope we get to see them again in Finals! Parkwoodmom, jetliner, AWF2014 and 1 other 4 Quote

Origin Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 Bridgeland is only the third band I’ve seen today, but that absolutely deserves to be in finals. This years show is just so much more aesthetically appealing than last year. And that guard is huge! Quote
crunchycookie3 Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 Way to go Bridgeland! I have them right in line with Wylie. Could spoil something for a perennial finalist! Quote
lost Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 Bridgeland looked really great! Might just be me but that closer had some visible visual dirt, not sure. Music sounded strong though. crunchycookie3 1 Quote
