really feel like wakelands soprano soloist got robbed

Live on YouTube box5 channel

Interesting that the predicted best Texas band was the only Texas band to not make it.

Cedar ridge really has their percussion to thank for that bronze medal

Hebron and vandy tied for first https://recaps.competitionsuite.com/538a603c-26ba-4c98-93ed-fb0efe323f23.htm

Can anyone dm recaps pls

SASR has almost always been harder then nats

Interesting to see that if this was a state year. Argyle would go from being so dominant at 4a state to not even making 5a state.

1. Wakeland 2. keller 3. wax 4. Permian 5. Lake ridge 6. James Martin 7. Plano East 8. Fossil ridge 9.allen 10. Berkner

Judges were wack that year look at the state results. Just like last year vista beating vandy at area then opposite happens at state

I am gonna say it at this competition wakeland is unbeatable. Sure they might lose a caption on some iffy performances at 8 am, but they have only been beat by 4 top 6a bands this whole season in finals (Hebron, flomo, Marcus, coppell by .135) they got beat by ld bell and westlake in prelims but thats just because of their early performance time compared to going right next to them making it easier for the judges to decide.

Add wakeland to duncanville marching invitational

1.hebron 2. Vandy 3. Cedar ridge 4. Reagan 5. Flo mo 6.ctj 7. Vista 8. Cp 9. Marcus 10. Woodlands 11. Round rock 12.wakeland 13. coppell 14. rouse

Have you seen the difference between wakeland individual and ensemble music at dfw. That was the only reason lone star placed above them in music. And even then wakeland got 5th .135 or something behind coppell and beat lone star by 4 points. This past Saturday they got 19 in individual music finals

If I was a wakeland kid I would much rather go to duncanville invitational then area. No competition for them at area would be a free win.

I really feel like Wakeland was better then coppell and I think almost all the judges but the individual music judge thought so aswell. 15.9 individual compared to 17.9 ensemble. Only a .125 gap between coppell and wakeland this could have easily gone the other way. Very interesting to see TC drop in finals. Definitely feel like something needs to change about top half bottom half. Almost feels like the judges are judging two different competitions.

Looking at the prelim recaps. Wakelands individual music costed them that 4th place finish.

Wakeland is definitely not a park and bark band. They are pretty much always moving.

Has band ever moved from bottom half to top half in prelims to finals?

Pretty sure they normally go every state year. But due to Covid stuff last year BOA SA was the week after 5a compared to it normally being on that Friday Saturday, then state that following Monday,Tuesday. Expensive to stay the full week or make 2 trips.
