I thought Aledo was the 2nd largest band there.

Something I’ve noticed about Aledo’s show this year is how athletic it is. Up until the ballad those players are MOVING and visually this year is going amazing for them, I do think they will be battling with Lone Star this next Monday.

Do you think that Lone Stars early time will effect their placement? The same thing happened to Aledo last year since they were in block one

Super happy with my bands performance time, my director drew very well!

It's about time that these predictions started. 1. Cedar Park (Seriously what they do in finals every year is a trademark of Cedar Park, and they aren't likely to end that streak anytime soon) 2. Rouse (Amazing sounds from what I've seen and always striving for excellence) 3. Wakeland (0.05 points behind Marcus (the king of clean) at BOA Prosper is amazing for them and although not a huge fan of their show, I cannot deny how clean they are all around) 4. Leander (Love the Latin aspects, seems like they weren't happy with their scores last year and it shows... looking forward to seeing them) 5. Aledo (Nothing else to say besides this program is changing for the better. Almost a seamless show and chock full of general effect throughout) 6. Lone Star (Could see them taking Aledo for 5th, insane music book and love the quality of sound they bring on the field) 7. Hendrickson (It was very good when I saw it at BOA Waco, can see them doing very well in about 2 weeks to come) 8. Colleyville Heritage (So proud of them for how they've done this year, and it is hard to see them losing to the other bands in Area F that they have already beaten this season) 9-12. (Still unclear on how I should rank these, but I see Burleson Centennial, Friendswood, Roma, and Richland being somewhere in this range) Feel free to ask me about my rankings and discuss on your opinions, would love to hear feedback on this!

After BOA Waco last night, I feel that Area will be Aledo's to lose. They did fantastic and I feel as though they have potential for top 5 at state this year.

Can you send the recap sheets by chance?

Predictions for division placements?

That makes a lot more sense. Thank you 🙏🏻

But we shouldn’t have to imply what to fix simply based on general effect comments. His job was to specifically target how clean our visuals were and he did not do that.

Totally get that. However, my band listened back to a visual ensemble judge tape last week from our finals run and he did not mention any execution flaws in the entire performance. He only talked about general effect and how we can make the show more effective. Although this advice is useful to our band, he offered little to no critique on how to fix forms or how to be cleaner visually as an ensemble. Not trying to complain, but I just wish that he was talking about execution rather than effect since he wasn’t assigned to general effect as a judge.

Did they release the performance order?

Anyone have their finalist predictions yet?

As much as I enjoyed wakeland’s show, I don’t feel like it has that exact wow factor that I have seen in years past from them. Aledo is doing something so different from their past years and every thing is there for them to be incredibly successful this season. That being said,even if the third place score from HEB was a fluke I find it very hard to see Aledo OR Wakeland scoring any better than 5th or 6th at this contest.
