Rouse. What can you possibly say? Just a monster production. Guard was incredible, the integration of the feature players into the field, the power and dynamics they bring to bear. If they don't medal I'm just not sure what this whole competition is about, because I _felt_ that whole thing in ways that no other band has done yet.

Random question because I’ve noticed it a ton… why do a lot of Texas bands use the front sideline props? I know they’re used elsewhere but I don’t see them as often as I do in Texas

I thought it was really cool of Dan Potter to delay "...and the Ronald Reagan marching band!" to perfectly sync with the band's opening hit. It takes a special kind of presence and service to engage with the band you're announcing, rather than just reading through your spiel the way you always do it. You can tell he genuinely loves watching these bands, too.

Dan Potter is a pro, that's for sure! I just want to emphasize on this because the way you could feel the bands energy radiate in response to the perfectly timed announcement was absolutely thrilling.

Ronald Reagan was so impressive!! Gosh every single one of these groups could randomly medal. Amazing!

Loved the texture in the LD Bell performance. The finale fake-out got me good.

L.D. Bell did a wonderful job tonight! Definitely worthy of the top half of finals!

L.D. Bell absolutely came out and proved why they made top half - that was so fun

God it does my heart so good to see LD Bell back at full strength! All I need now is Lassiter, Chesterton, Spring, Westfield and my all time favorite Marion Catholic doing it again at the level and I could die a happy man!
*disclaimer I might have showed my age and maybe some of these schools are no longer competing or even open? Lol
Love it

Sure, not denying, but all I did was express an opinion😂 we all have some!😳 My comment had absolutely nothing to do with your opinion about having Cedar Park in the top half and everything to do with them being called a drum and bugle corps.

BOA. Uggggg. How do you put Marcus and Rouse back to back 🤨 TWHS closing! I can’t with this anymore. Blame the directors who drew the numbers at band check in.

I knew they’re used all over, I guess I just notice that when I watch Texas comps, I see them more often than not. I didn’t know if there was some sort of requirement or something and that’s why I saw them a ton 😂

Awesome job Vista Ridge! While again, I do prefer Divisi a little more, this show has grown on me a bit.
Can't believe we're already at the final 3 performances of the night. Time sure does fly when you're enjoying band. Thank goodness we get an extra hour of sleep tonight!
