Well that was certainly a memorable start to the weekend. Cedar Park was incredible.

[cinnamonpromenade]

I haven't watched any Texas band all season and Cedar Park reminded me what it's all about... WOW, I'm so impressed by how well those kids danced!! The genuine training required them to move with such muscle, precision, and effort is jaw-dropping... HOW do I get my kids to move with such commitment?!!!

[cinnamonpromenade]

Kinda of obsessed with this full-screen green screen happening during Manor New Tech's stream... is it just me? 😭😭😭

[yayband914]

I had less issues watching ALL of 6A finals and 4A prelims on NFHS network than I have had watching two bands on BOX5 this morning.

[coleeich]

Nicely done Westwood! That show continues to improve every week

[cinnamonpromenade]

Westwood was soooo fun... I'm really curious to see how the judges score them vs Cedar Park. I think Cedar Park's execution was virtually flawless, but Westwood's variety and inspiration felt more effective to me. Such great groups so early in the morning!

[yayband914]

Golden Hour count: 3

[srv1084]

I unfortunately had to miss Westwood. How dare people schedule meetings on a Friday in November. Don't they know there's marching band to watch?

[cinnamonpromenade]

Smithson Valley has the kind of bravado that makes me wonder if they'll pop into a regional finals in the next few years. Great sound, intense energy!

[cinnamonpromenade]

This opening statement from Brandeis... LOVELY!! That guard staging and execution was soooo tasty. And that impact from the winds—WOW!!!

The winterguard world was not ready for this in 2023. NOT ready.

[cinnamonpromenade]

I'm assuming the competition's too deep for Brandeis to sneak into finals... but I wouldn't be mad if that happened!!

Mad props to the colorguard for communicating so excellently. The way they used their skirts felt very Martha Graham-esque; just such deep understanding of their bodies and such mature performance quality readable from the high cam.

What a phenomenal group!!

It has been all season. We’ve just been focusing on the wrong piece. 😅

I feel Brandeis always is under-placed here. Without looking, I believe they’re usually between 40th and 60th place here — much like the other powerhouse from the region, John B. Alexander — which just goes to show how astoundingly deep the talent pool is at SASR.

[cinnamonpromenade]

Crockett with no guard, no battery, BUT with a keytarist in the middle of the field... Ok PERIOD

dbalash scheduled his WEDDING on a Saturday in November!

[cinnamonpromenade]

Round Rock maintaining ensemble timing with a company front from 0 to 0 splitting the front hash and front sideline while an arc of brass extends all the way to 4 in front of the back hash.... mama that's INSANE

[bigtrombone]

We're ABSOLUTELY seeing Round Rock 3 times next week.

How many blank green screens did you all get from FloMarching back in the day? Just asking for a friend…

[statechamp1239]

My wife and I think it has to do with the director's cut (we're watching both) and the green screens seem to pop up when the director's cut goes from high cam to field cam. It isn't every time, but it seems to be related. 

[cybrunette]

We should all collectively, in a thread, say all the problems we've had with the stream & whoever on here has a connect within Box5 should tell them to read all the issues we've dealt with lol

[cybrunette]

Pieper killed it though!

That might be one of the longest threads in the history of HornRank.

Vista Ridge is such a solid band. I'd love to see them win the whole thing sooner or later.
