Both exhibitions at the end. Gonna be a late night 😴 It might actually make things a little shorter. They always give a time for the award ceremony and then don’t start until 15 to 30 minutes later. Maybe having the exhibitions at the end we’ll get out 15 or twenty minutes earlier than if they started the finals with an exhibition as usual. But yes, it’s gonna be a long night. I’m sure our kids won’t be back to the school until 1 at earliest. Then, back we go for Monday and Tuesday!

I’ll say that 4A placements didn’t really surprise me, wasn’t able to catch TWHS, but they have a very unique identity compared to other Texas bands that gets them rewarded. I was not seeing what many were seeing in FloMo leapfrogging everybody to be behind Hebron. I would still expect there to be some shifts because CTJ and Vandy and Vista didn’t make the podium!! Nothing is settled so far at all!

Can’t believe a band like Cedar Park is bottom half. Band is fun They were one of my favorite that I saw in person this year. Their outfits and mirrors were especially cool at night outside under stadium lights.

If that is the first performance, bottom 7, tonight is going to be amazing.

Cedar Park has one of the best show designs of this year. Period. Not to mention, they performed the crap out of that show. They’re too good😭

Lush and majestic shows from Marcus year after year. Beautifully done.

So unfortunate that none of these bands will be at GN next week. This really is GN South!

Maybe some people saw things I didn’t, but for me, that’s Keller’s best run of the year!! Congrats to them for notching out another finals placement! They definitely deserved it👀👀

Marcus- you can’t tell me those weren’t pro orchestra players. They have no right to have such a professional, beautiful sound year after year after year after year after…you get the point. The visual design reminded me a lot of their 2018 show! Personally, I like their show last year more, but their incredible musicianship alone kept me mesmerized the entire time.
Keller- Once again, Keller blows us away with their unmistakable sound. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: their hornline is seriously so underrated. They never fail to make me always amazed. Also, how are their trombones ALWAYS so good?!?!

I feel silly for leaving out Keller in my finals predictions. I think my brain was mush by the time I watched them last night. They consistently present the most cerebral, sophisticated show designs every year.
Only three groups in and I already have no clue who's outscoring who... these recaps are gonna be wild no matter what lol

I’m still convinced Marcus contracts horn players from the DFW Philharmonic! Prove me wrong.
Keller and that wall of Brass sound! Manna from Heaven.

We know one of these bands in the lower half CAN, but will it happen?👀👀

Coming from someone very used to the Drinkwater years, I was surprised to see how much movement they've put into this year's show! This isn't my favorite show from Marcus (maybe a bit too reserved?), but I'm super excited to see where they'll go visually in the next few years. The show the year they'll be on will be magical.

Coppell- These kids are here to prove that their wild success last year was no fluke. Incredible hornline playing some difficult music paired with an awesome visual design, I love it!!!

Love the little short “your song” reprise from Coppell there in the end! A bit abrupt but i still enjoy it anyways! Haha

Come back to Grand Nationals Cedar Ridge. Better than ever.

Cedar Ridge. Powerful low brass control. Intricate woodwind, mid to high brass phraseology. I am a believer! 🎵💯

There's some shows that are prancing lil cuties, and then there's steam-rollers, and then there's Cedar Ridge.
