Really nice to see camaraderie between student orgs Expand Did Haltom have some come too? I know some HP football team members, coach and our principal came with posters. It made such a difference to our band seeing them show up to support like that! celesta and Dallas Hobbs 2 Quote

I mean my goodness I haven’t heard superior control in phrases that long all day! Their sound is sooo freaking full, balanced, well blended, all the good adjectives you can think of! Their technique is clean as a whistle. The composition really allows you to hear the different voices in the ensemble not just in the brass but also in the woodwinds. That raises the demand considerably and and that trumpet feature in the beginning was something else entirely. It was like you were being transcended into another plane of existence so yeah I liked it lol Expand This. Keller's performances at BOA fell flat for me, those long Mahler phrases weren't keeping the energy going and while it sounded good, it didn't pop. Today was a whole different experience. The intensity didn't let up, and things were much more in tune and balanced. Not perfect, there were a few issues but very much a different show for me than last week. Congrats to Keller on their improvement! crunchycookie3, Dallas Hobbs and celesta 3 Quote

Popular Post crunchycookie3 Posted October 21, 2023 Popular Post Posted October 21, 2023 …moving past the negativity, glad to see that many groups are reaching above and beyond today! To be honest, Keller kind of took my breath away at Prosper finals, and hearing that they are at an entirely new level is all the more exciting. JWork, CosmicLimbo and Dallas Hobbs 3 Quote

Dallas Hobbs Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 Ok because I have band ocd I might leave immediately after the last group performs so I can get over to mesquite earlier enough to get the seat i want lol. If I do not post the finalists here, is there someone who can? Quote

Bell Expand Good to see both Haltom and Pearce in finals. I was shocked that Lake Ridge didn't make finals. I knew state was pretty much out of the question for LR but I wasn't expecting them to miss finals. Not surprised to not see Martin in finals. Does anyone by any chance have the prelims scores?

tlivingston Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 Was there for the first half of prelims this morning and I want to give a shout out to Bowie and Grand Prairie. Both of those bands played and marched well. The directors there are doing great work. I was also super impressed with the way Haltom City held their volume level in reserve and only hinted at it until the very end. Excellent control from that group. Quote
crunchycookie3 Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 It seems the other areas know their prelims placements, does anyone know how it stacked up here? Quote
Gehrig4 Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 And we’re back! Jj Pearce on the field now - Haltom and bell are all that’s left. 45 mins or so until awards RandomGuardPerson 1 Quote
