Area To State
whitewing09 replied to BandAManiac's topic in Everything Music: Marching, Concert, Auditions and more
I think it's really interesting that the current realignment has half of the SA bands going to area D and half going to area G (I don't know the actually ratio of bands going to the either area). I'm assuming the same was true in the last alignment (Some schools going to area E, others to area G) If anything, they just need to unstack Area D. -
2012 5A State Marching Contest
whitewing09 replied to ~ME~'s topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
For those who have seen Bell. Do they have a ballad? -
2012 5A Area B Contest
whitewing09 replied to TXMarchingMadness87654's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
From the live stream I watched Saturday, seems that it will be an uphill battle for Richland to place in the top 5. Their show seemed a little too hard. As for Bell, they're know for power cleaning, so I hope to see them in the top 2, but their show is insane. Musically it doesn't seem to have the dynamic contrast that we're used to seeing from Bell (this may have just been the venue, but idk.) Visually, their show is extremely demanding(it really seems like on state years they're trying to push their limits drill-wise, I remember thinking that their 2010 looked difficult.) -
2012 Area D 5A Marching Contest
whitewing09 replied to whodatphi's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Does anyone remember when Leander and Georgetown were surprise threats for state qualifiers... I feel like it was a generation ago, I'm feeling old lol -
UIL Area predictions
whitewing09 replied to TXWestside's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Are there 39 bands in area D? Such a shame there isn't just one more band.. so that they could send off 8 instead of 7. -
50 Words: BOA vs. UIL
whitewing09 replied to Danpod's topic in Everything Music: Marching, Concert, Auditions and more
I think another factor that people often neglect is that fact that there are on-field judges in BOA. I think scores can really change when a judge can evaluate the band from a step away. -
UIL Area predictions
whitewing09 replied to TXWestside's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
I love their show! I do hope to see it in finals at BOA SA. Though it does seem like they need to do some cleaning up before area. -
2012 BOA San Antonio Predictions
whitewing09 replied to Rubisco's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
OMG. Bell's show is intense. HOLY. It looked so difficult... It just flew right by. -
2012 BOA San Antonio Predictions
whitewing09 replied to Rubisco's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
So I'm wondering, is Bell's show harder, or does their struggle make it seem more difficult? Also, is Owasso stronger than usual, or is Bell just significantly weaker than usual? -
UIL Electronics FAQ (2012)
whitewing09 replied to Xenon's topic in Everything Music: Marching, Concert, Auditions and more
In the case of CTJ's pre-show, as long as they play it in the 5 minute period before their actual performance time, it's legal? -
BOA Conroe Recaps
whitewing09 replied to Danpod's topic in Everything Music: Marching, Concert, Auditions and more
I think Reagan is definitely gnat final's material this year. -
UIL Area predictions
whitewing09 replied to TXWestside's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Probably the same usual bands. Rio Hondo Port Isabel Crystal City Fredericksburg Hidalgo (I think they just had an off year last time around, but I could be wrong) -
2012 Texas Marching Classic
whitewing09 replied to bksatx's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Is this a sign that CTJ won't only be a monster at BOA, but also at UIL? -
2012 Westlake Marching Festival
whitewing09 replied to GBMELLO's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Just shows how two very good bands can be evaluated very differently at different contests! -
BOA Conroe Recaps
whitewing09 replied to Danpod's topic in Everything Music: Marching, Concert, Auditions and more
At this competition Cedar Ridge scored higher than it's BOA SA 2011 score. Did they peak early or will they be scoring in the finalist range at BOA SA this year? -
BOA Conroe Recaps
whitewing09 replied to Danpod's topic in Everything Music: Marching, Concert, Auditions and more
Did anyone else notice the huge jump in Reagan's scores from last week? They went from the bottom of the "finals" bands of BOA Denton to the top of BOA Conroe... beating one of the top bands (CP) from the previous week. -
2011 BOA Grand Nationals

Was the flute solo at the beginning of Broken Arrow's show from the same music as the solo in Churchill's show last year? -
BOA scoring insanity?
whitewing09 replied to Saxophonebird's topic in Everything Music: Marching, Concert, Auditions and more
I think that my idea got confused a little. When I said it was alright for there to be a few ties. I did not say that I advocate more conservative and "boxed in" scoring. I was trying to say, out of 40-50 bands, a few bands tieing in a range of 8 points was alright. I don't think that tieing a few bands and boxing onself in are synonymous (I think that a judge can tie a few bands out of 50 and still keep a large enough range not to box himself in). I think it's justifiable in the case of such a large set because no one is perfect, it's really hard to weigh 50 bands against each other, especially when the competition is spread across two full days. I don't think the judge necessarily has to go back and change those specific scores, just the satisfy this idea that we necessarily have to keep a clean ranking system. A few ties isn't too bad. IMO: In all it's situational. Judging a prelims is SO much different than judging a finals, therefore I wouldn't try justifying this for a finals. -
BOA scoring insanity?
whitewing09 replied to Saxophonebird's topic in Everything Music: Marching, Concert, Auditions and more
Is that the reasoning behind UIL converting raw score into rankings? I could see this problem existing in UIL where the scoring system is out of 1000, but how would this pose a significant problem in BOA where the scoring system is theoretically out of 20 (realistically out of 8, but most bands don't receive scores below 12)? -
BOA scoring insanity?
whitewing09 replied to Saxophonebird's topic in Everything Music: Marching, Concert, Auditions and more
What's wrong with giving ties? This is raw score that they're giving. It's not like a judge necessarily has to rank how the bands did (in direct relations to other bands). They just have to record how they felt the band performed and maybe they believed that two bands performed very similarly. -

Whatever happened to Dickinson? Are they a 5A now? -
4A State Results Discussion
whitewing09 replied to Dynasty's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Wow Cedar Park and Dripping Springs were ahead of the pack in finals. They must have been on fire! Also, for being in the first block, CP sweeping prelims is quite amazing.
