The Keller band is too precious for this world and must be protected at all costs! -Basically they were upset that Timber Creek didn't make state so they wrote "4TCHS" on their arms. These kids are the best! https://twitter.com/sbecht03/status/1059606780660072450

LOL

Actually 5th* time in a row for Timber (but 2 in a row at the same contest). Also Timber has beat Coppell at almost every BOA contest in the last 2 years(including this year) so I honestly don't see that changing. But hey anything can happen! I think: 1.Keller 2.LD Bell 3.Timber Creek 4. Prosper 5. Coppell 6. Haltom

Yeah I think having a UIL-like system is a great way to highlight bands that maybe prefer execution over “art”/impact but the consistency of it is just such a big issue. NO clue how they would fix it though

Ok and that’s fair and I get that for you it might not just be about Keller. But I also only see people complaining about that specific judge so i’m only expressing my concerns over the m3 judge witch-hunt lol

I get that y’all love Keller or whatever and no doubt they are a spectacular program but I feel like a lot of you guys are maybe overreacting a bit.. That’s just how this activity is ladies and gents. Judges don’t always agree. Placements can and will be wild sometimes. Unfortunately we can’t know exactly what judges see/hear so we just have to trust the process. Am I upset that Timber lost a tie by one judges preference even though in my eyes they objectively had a much more difficult show and still performed at an entremely high level? Yes. And Duncanville is a great band so no shade to them but I understand that UIL is just a different beast. Y’all got second place... RELAX. You will have your shot at redemption soon enough and will undoubtedly kill it at state! I have nothing but respect for the Keller program and I know a lot of great people that went there but don’t get your pitchforks out for one measley music judge’s placement. For perspective just think about all the bands that couldn’t even perform in FINALS like Central or Richland who have been consistent contenders for years.

I think the one thing we can all agree on is that this is the most dramatic area thread of all time

Lol it's ok that person's comment was kind of rude actually, so no need to apologize. I just think it's interesting to see how passionate everyone is about this lol.

go awf

Results are up on UIL forms...

This has to be unprecedented?? I mean EVERY single time, in 10 years? Crazy. I know that they have nothing to be ashamed and I heard had an AMAZING performace but that really is so heart-breaking...

Any good Area B competition wouldn’t be complete without a little bit (or a lot) of chaos with the scores!! Wish I was in town to catch what I’m sure is going to be one crazy awesome finals competition.

Can’t wait to see the full prelims results later! I’m betting it they are pretty interesting lol

Haha no worries, no offense was taken. I know precisely what you mean. Guess we will just have to see how things play out on Saturday!

Yep. Trust me those placements are 100% correct. In fact, here's a FloMarching video with Timber's director where she even confirms this (skip to 4:18): https://www.flomarching.com/video/6253707-darla-mcbryde-on-timber-creeks-2018-season If that's not enough take it from personal experience as a former member. So proud of these guys and how far they've come.
