Vista Ridge. Please hire guard staff. Sincerely, ilikeguard. That aside- incredible run, Ranger Band! Best all season! You have shown us you belong in finals! That was a performance to be proud of. I am thoroughly impressed! It’s a growing program. They’ll get there!

Mason has a great balance between the brass and woodwinds. Their ensemble sound is lush and full.

OH. It's a Top Gun show. Ok, so the sunglasses with the jumpsuits make sense now.
Lacks a volleyball segment though. I suppose high school kids shirtless playing volleyball would be a bit much though. Hah.

Alright, that was my first watch of Mason. I was doubting the Wes-ness of this show from the theme, but that post-show is unmistakable!

I want more 80s nostalgia in my marching band shows.

Crowd looking rather thin. There were about 8,000 parents trying to get in at 8:00

Loved William Mason. Beauutttiful ballad, never thought a show like this could touch me so closely, I never even liked planes but somehow they managed to pull me in to that story.

Thought William Mason gave a great performance! Lux Aurumque is one of my favorite pieces and I think they performed it super well. The woodwinds were spectacular, if a little bit out of tune, but their performances were still incredible along with that brass. The ending was pretty fun to watch too! I have to admit their uniforms really don't mesh well with the field and muddled the visual design quite a bit for me, which is unfortunate. But still a great show!

Mason's rifle line is good. Those kids do winter guard, I bet. Oooooo yes they do !

That Whittacre ballad is handled SO well, there wasn’t a single harsh sound in there. Just beautiful even tones, and that guard was killer. I wish the guard wasn’t the only group in the band with some color though, the dark green definitely blends with the field too much.

CTJ has me conflicted. Kids are playing their heart out, and the sound is amazing. Even during warmup, I’m just straight up impressed. However, this design is just not it for me. This just doesn’t feel “CTJ” to me, props to them for performing this as well as they are though.

Every program takes a different direction at one point or another. Either way, I am very much enjoying this show

Is there a reason there is a CTJ performer out there in a different uniform than everyone else? All black? They are very good, just wondering!

I'm underwhelmed by the guard but the band itself can march and play!

oh. I was like "That's a very tall vocalist..." Then I realized her platform is like two feet taller. Hah.
These kids are booking across the field. The yin yang with the pianists is nice. oh and there it is on the tubas.

CTJ may have a new style but they're all in on the 'showstopper' moments. I remember their Lion King sow had a ton of them too. They add some whimsy and make the show fun.
