Yeah I understand that. Simply Marcus would win UIL and LD Bell would win BOA. Enough so that rumors went around that LD Bell would pull out of UIL competitions altogether. I think my only solution is I will watch all of BOA San Antonio this weekend and try and rate the bands on Visual Proficiency and see where my numbers lie.

I was actually talking to the flo people about their service and what I would like to see improved. Lots of people complained about the audio quality last year and that has drastically improved. This year hopefully they improve on their Multicam shots. I can say it is nice that they are trying to frame smaller groups of performers, because when kids see themselves or parents see their kids the product has a more intrinsic value. Now they just aren’t reading the groups and making the right switching calls just yet. It’s easier in DCI where they are able to learn the shows and in WGI where the groups are way smaller and it’s easier to get it right. Over the years we will see some improvement, hopefully.

One thing I don’t get on the high school level is the Visual Proficiency subcaption. I’ve been a tech a few times while in college and after the drum corps seasons, but I can’t figure out how some groups are scored so well or so poorly. I’ll see top level schools where body alignment is a problem and timing is poor out scoring groups like Keller or Cedar Park that have a great presence from marcher to marcher and you’d be had pressed to find stickouts with poor technique. Is BOA really just based on GE carries a school to their placement?

5A Predictions: 1. Cedar Park - I think it’s theirs to lose. 2. Richland - Not getting enough y’all for how clean they are. 3. Waxahachie - I thought they were awesome at BOA Southlake, and their prelims placement doesn’t hurt that idea. 4. Dripping Springs - Can’t drop them too far from winning an Area finals over CP. 5. Wakeland - Really good band. 6. Prosper - Not huge on the show, but not enough other bands to push them down further. 7. Aledo - Usually a great band. 8. Roma - I think they have a shot of clearly making finals this year. 9. Tomball Memorial - Clearly won their area, so let’s see if the success translates. 10. Birdville - Though my next in would be Georgetown.

Man, Area B was a judge's choice to go to State. Talk about outside of the spirit of the rules. -

Doing that well, do we think there is a chance that a Valley school (Roma) may make state finals in 5A this year? -

Birdville should also be highlighted as 3 bands advanced to state.
