I know it's isn't as popular of a contest, but seeing as how it's a week out, does anybody have a schedule?

Also, sorry for being an ignorant d*ck

Lol it's so cringey reading how salty I was 2 years ago.

Is the advanced and novice stuff who’s returning to the competition?

It’s the same with making all-state in our area; our school went from having like 4-6 all-staters a year to 0. One of my friends went from making state his sophomore year to making last chair area his senior. It’s ridiculous.

Why did they allow this area to get so stacked? Even if 6 make it it doesn’t seem fair to some schools.

Visual is almost always worth less than music, but I guess they wanted to be more of a boa style contest than UIL.

Anyone have score breakdown?

I don't think our bd posted prelims results. :/

Any opinions on mansfield?

Is boa judged as hard as dci or something?

I wonder who's gonna make finals?

It wasn't; it was random and unexpected. Like I said some of those judges are crazy (not all though).

How can one judge have Martin as first but another as last? I mean I get if my school didn't make it because we were legitimately worse, but something's going on with those judges.

Here's the thing, Martins show is very artsy, which is what boa loves, which is the main reason they did good. Their area performance is just dependent on 60% music and 40% marching. (I tried to state that in a way that wouldn't make anyone mad. When I saw Martin, I wasn't looking at technique really, so idk how they are on marching) (pls don't kill me)

Who is the wild card in this competition ?

12, 11 marching (One is a prop). We have like 1 junior, 4 freshmen, and 7 sophmores. And sadly not scott...

Sort of off topic, but what does everybody think of Mansfield? I know we are doing poorly this year so far, but our band director says we've gotten better (hopefully he didn't just say that to encourage us).

Mansfield was Brian Youngblood last year and the year before I believe. This year we have Max Mullinix.
