[@Rizley112]

WOW!!!! Did not expect that opening impact! That was awesome!!!!

[@MichaelNaydeck]

This show packs a punch.

[@The_Trombone_Dude]

Man am I proud to be apart of this band. It has definitely been an eye opening experience. I promise y’all that we’re not done.

[@PRLCKLY]

Glenn struggling this year, u can take me bro

[@The_Trombone_Dude]

@@PRLCKLY Lol. Y’all are doing great this year too. That trombone soloist is killing it. I remember at festival of bands my whole section going crazy over it.

[@PRLCKLY]

oh hell yea, Jenae is amazing, our placements and band morale are just down a lot compared to last year, yesterday we didnt make finals at vista ridge marching competition, so we got 11th or below, last year we got 3rd in finals :(@@The_Trombone_Dude

@@PRLCKLYhey! I know I’m not from y’all’s district cause i was a part of Keller ISD. I just wanna say something cause you have to remember that Rouse was in y’all’s position for a while and they’ve gotten better. All I say is support the process of the success and later all 5 HS in Leander will dominate Texas. Coming from Ridge, I totally understand where you’re coming from ❤

[@cohenwatson7667]

question? my band has around the same memebers and i was wondering how y’all got such a strong impacting sound, it’s so good 🙏🙏

[@yashrathore-r3j]

i was one of the middle schoolers there. I am a bass clarinet for stiles. I hope i can play this good next year.

[@MichaelNaydeck]

You are going to have an amazing year next year. You are going to bond closer to people, work harder, feel emotions deeper than you have every imagined. You are going to love being in band. Stay with it throughout school. You will learn things that will stick with you for life. You will make memories and lifelong friends.

I'm in Requiem!!!! Alto sax :) I'm so happy to be a part of this band like the other person said, it's sooooo fun!

[@MichaelNaydeck]

Ya'll are killing it this year!!

[@nsam85]

"So musically clean." No kidding. Maybe not the most powerful but certainly the cleanest at this festival. Great balance within each section and the band as a whole. Great dynamics. The articulation in the brass feature is just inane for how early it is in the season.

[@xenobackpains5800]

Did you hear the opener? The audio was getting distorted from the strength of the sound!

[@xenobackpains5800]

Im in production of one of the large props and it is AMAZING being on the field

[@trombonedale]

oh my goodness

[@MichaelNaydeck]

Yeah, they sound and they look great for this time of the year. Reminds me of 2019 Rouse.

[@RevelationWatchman777]

The bass synth is getting so loud you can barely hear the band. Turn it down!! Other than that the kids sounded great.

[@MichaelNaydeck]

It was very loud. My bet is that it is because they are compressing the master bus on the board. I also noticed it with the soloists.
