Congrats to Southlake Carroll! Is this their first finals appearance at SMBC? Not sure about that, but this is their first time at state in 20 years!

Not really anything completely out of left-field. On the level the finalists were performing I’m sure everyone saw each one at minimum as potential finalists. I guess the biggest “surprise” would be Southlake Caroll but after their St.Louis finish I think a handful of people had them above other established groups. Westlake was only .1 out of SA finals but I guess some might find them a pleasant surprise.

I saw Southlake Carroll at Dallas, no idea that I also saw 6 SMBC finalist bands! They must have cleaned tremendously

Hope they do well in Indy.

Southlake Carroll would be the closest thing to a surprise, though they've had a great season - they did very well at the St. Louis Super Regional. Round Rock missing finals is a big deal, though, considering they have a trip to Indianapolis coming up in a few days

I'm rolling with Hebron as the 1st place band far ahead of the competition right now

I'm rolling with Hebron as the 1st place band far ahead of the competition right now This is my bet as well. I didn’t see CTJ or Reagan today, but I had Hebron, Vandy, and then Flower Mound firmly in that order.

Hebron is peaking at the perfect moment, it's an absolute shame they're not taking this incredible show to Grand Nationals.

I'm really not a fan of of the UIL scoring system. I think it tends to be too subjective. That said, no real surprises for finals. I will say that these kids are tired, y'all. They've been performing non-stop for 2 weeks now, many of them travelling a decent distance and getting little sleep. I think some of today's performances reflected that. I think a lot of the big names knew they would make it to finals and so didn't perform at 100%. But just wait until tomorrow when they know it counts. They will leave it all on the field.

I’m just hoping that if they do manage to snag a 6a title, Mr. Sealy sticks around for the next Grand Nationals cycle and doesn’t immediately go into an extremely well deserved retirement. It’s kind of been Hebron’s white whale.

They'd certainly have a solid chance, though Broken Arrow and Avon are looking quite strong as well

The finals placements for prelims was leaked on txbands, so I may as well post them here:
1) Hebron (by a good margin) 2) Vandegrift 3) Flower Mound 4) Ronald Reagan 5) Claudia Taylor Johnson 6) Coppell 7) Marcus 8: Cedar Ridge 9) Vista Ridge 10) Keller 11) Westlake 12) Carroll
No huge surprises in the placements for the finalists

Yikes, Flower Mound's music scores do not look good. I heard they had a rough run musically today so hopefully they reign that in for finals and Nationals, but they haven't been sounding as in tune as we expect from them for most of the season.

This was also FloMo's first indoor performance of the year, where most of the others (and all of the other finalists) had a Super Regional to help familiarize themselves with filling a dome

I heard they had a rough run musically today so hopefully they reign that in for finals and Nationals, but they haven't been sounding as in tune as we expect from them for most of the season. I definitely agree with that, they’ve had their intonation issues all year, some sections just aren’t as strong as in years previous with some brass sections having had difficulties with their more technical parts, as you can go back and see from previous iterations of FloMo. Haven’t seen their recaps to look exactly, but I think individual scores might be better off for them if their soloists are taken into strong consideration in what the judges take from their performance as all their soloists are REAL GOOD🔥 Also heyyy my pick for state is currently leading, let’s see if Hebron can take it all the way😎😎

Yeah they don’t :/ I think they can turn it around. Nice job Reagan and Coppell!!

It's one of the best designed shows I've seen in quite some time so if they can just fine tune those sounds I think they're still in fine shape for a medal and potential championship in Indianapolis.
