    -Copying my post from the HornRank forum Just saw a Facebook post from the Whitesboro band. In case you don't know/remember, they are the ones who went to BOA Grand Nationals in 2016 as a Class A band and are a consistent UIL 3A finalist, finishing 2nd in 2019. Facebook post: "March 6th at 7pm! We are taking the Pride of Whitesboro to the big stage...

    Speaking of Houston bands, I wish bands like Cy-Fair, SFA, Oak Ridge, etc. would go every once in a while. They succeed consistently in the Houston regional. Heck, maybe one of them is this mystery band

    Only things that passed - Color Guard Sheet Enhancement Rule to move judges closer to audience perspective has been moved to Steering Committee to evaluate The Allow Live Sampling in Real Time proposal Proposal to make changes to judging during prelims, semis, and finals also being studied further
  4. DrumCorpsGeek
    I was relating to that rule. I was saying that they are approving it for the corps to decide if they want to or not. Sorry I left that part out.
  5. DrumCorpsGeek
    I wish people would actually understand that this rule is not being proposed for large sections of woodwinds. As you lay out, that is not possible. They are treating this the same way as vocal parts, guitars, violins, trombones, French horns, etc. People on social are just so against this and they don’t even understand it.

    Which show?
  7. DrumCorpsGeek
    Very interesting contest here! Vandegrift has it on their calendar. Wonder if any other Austin/Houston band will show up at this one to give FloMo and Hebron a run for the medal positions?
  8. DrumCorpsGeek
    If I'm not mistaken, Azle HS has a World Class Winds Group.

    Pearland - Especially if they are going to GN Vista Ridge - First time they will have a GN design show
  10. DrumCorpsGeek
    Now that GN is a week later, The "it's a 6A year, those bands won't go" theory I think might be done, at least for now. It's definitely a more complex schedule and you're also doing a UIL production rather than a BOA show, but I think the scheduling part of it might be done.

    Great show by Lebanon Trail. Amazing performace by those students. Very clean production!
  16. DrumCorpsGeek
    Somebody’s gonna get a penalty, just not sure who it is. We’re a whole minute and a half behind right now.

    Definitly same thoughts I had. 2nd half seems very clustered. But otherwise, amazing job execution wise. What an impactful show!

    predictions: 1. Ronald Reagan - What a beast of a show 2. Flower Mound - Slightly ahead of 3rd 3. Vandegrift - How can you not like this show!? 4. CTJ - THE LION KING! 5. Hebron- musicianship carries them 6. Leander- one of my favorite shows of the year-much like BAC this past summer. Very fun show just nothing to impress the judges too much 7. Vista Ridge - DRUMLINE! One of the best in TX 8. TWHS- Seem to have cleaned ALOT between Houston and now 9. Marcus - Haven’t seen em but heard good things 10. L.D. Bell - 3rd at St. Louis in a very competitive lineup 11. Bowie - won Waco 12. Westwood - came close to TW at Houston, and I know shows develop at different rates, but this is another one of my favorites! I love this show this year!!!!!! 13. Keller - show concept isn’t hard to get, but it’s one of those abstract ones 14. Cedar Park - Come on, somebody’s got to make finals doing it “the UIL way”

    PENALTIES IN MARCHING BAND ARE THE STUPIDEST THING EVER!!!!! Other than if a student does something, or the band affects the schedule of the contest, it is not fair to the kids. All of them pour blood, sweat, and tears into perfecting their programs and for something as small as 30 seconds over on a performance take that away is just NOT RIGHT. Basically kids are wasting their times perfecting programs that don’t even get to see the light of day because of A DIRECTOR’S MISTAKE! Or maybe not even. Incredibly unfortunate. (And please don’t take this as though the Roma kids “wasted their time”. They didn’t. They still probably all learned to be better musicians and people. Just trying to make my point.

    I'm pretty sure BOA judges can still go wherever they so please. Judges are always all over the field.
  24. DrumCorpsGeek
    I have a suspicion that due to Henny doing the UIL show as well today, they withdrew from the Finals competition. That show is 100% a finalist.
