Self explanatory, also considering the season is coming to a close we’re gonna need something to talk about.
I’ll go first.
2021: The Woodlands 2020: William Mason 2019: Avon 2018: DOBYNS-BENNETT (best show of all time 😤) 2017: Random, but North Hardin? 2017 was THE year for Kentucky bands and NH def pulled the flower show off FLAWLESSLY. 2016: Flower Mound 2015: Hebron

I’ve always loved that show so is much and always thought it should’ve placed much higher. Their hornline was absolutely phenomenal that year, and they had one of my favorite music books ever!!! That ballad still always gives me chills everytime I listen to it!!!

This show was so incredibly impactful and beautifully put together. I am really in shock when this doesn't enter discussions of the best shows of the last 10 years. Oh my....what a show.

Oh my....what a show. thats so interesting to me as it was probably my least favorite Vandegrift show. It was great, as all Vandy shows are, but I wasn’t wowed by it like I have been by their other productions. I’m sure I must be missing something critical here. 😁

All you people picking any show other than Tarpon Springs for 2022 are officially disinvited from the barbecue.
No... that's too far. You can still come, but your potato salad better be on point.

So tough! I would actually say there were few shows the I truly “loved” but I’d actually have to go with Cedar Ridge if were just talking design. I loved the theme the colors, just everything!
Flower Mound comes in a close second as they typically do for design.
Hebron’s music is my favorite this year.
And Wando playing Rest by Frank Ticheli is probably my favorite ballad.

2019: Carmel, Reagan, Blue Springs, Mason, Avon, Vandegrift, Keller, Flower Mound (underrated af), Broken Arrow, Coppell, O'Fallon Flower Mound's 2019 show has got to be one of the most underrated shows in the last few years. A shame that they seemed to have a rough San Antonio finals run, especially after a strong early season.
