A friend from kaufman said that they had an awful run and still stayed at 3rd from prelims to finals so

VERY weird judging considering a judge having celina 7th for perc in prelims, and then now them winning it, as well as mineola dropping 4 places and farmersville moving up so much, curious to see the judging sheets

No, I’m saying since they’re all so close to the threshold, what happens?

So schools in 4A such as Anna, Kaufman, Sulphur Springs that all have around 1225 will stay or will they move up?

How exactly does the realignment work, is it every 2 years? so 22',24',26'? So schools that are over the limit will move up next year?

If Vandegrift goes down to 5A, and CP goes up to 6A, Vandegrift will most likely have a few medals lol

North Lamar is much stronger than they have been in years, so I think they will be 1st in Area C, with Sulphur Springs cleaning up (they are pretty messy right now) placing 2nd, and Lumberton placing 3rd. It would be awesome to see Lumberton on top, but I just don't think it'll happen with SS being a good fake 4A (essentially a 5A in terms of kids marching), and NL being better than they have in the past few years

Hope to be there with y’all 😉

I march at Canton, we were able to watch Lumberton in the dome last year, it they were really loud, we all had them at 7-8th in prelims when we were predicting, hoping they see success this year!

someone just posted finals placements, canton won

Overall results aren’t out for prelims but I know north crowley is first in their division, and canton is 1st in 4A

Hate to see it, the content scores getting lower is such a bummer. Hard shows that blast and have hard runs and crazy drill are so much more entertaining

That’s what I thought, on the predictions page they are not an option though

Did China Spring decide to not attend? They aren't on the predictions page

Not sure how good Lebanon Trail or Wakeland are. Argyle is known for being consistent late season. They will clean up for sure, but they are also doing a lot harder of a show than years past.

Were you are the Melissa Showcase? How much have they improved?

Essentially what schools like Argyle, and now Celina do. They either have everyone standing still with lots of visuals playing really hard things, then march for a little without playing, or just isolated notes, then stand still again and do it over. Sometimes they switch it up where they march and play (which Argyle tends to do a lot more than past years now, which is good for them). Other times they have half of the band doing a feature (standing still with visuals) and half of the band marching a big form. They do this so that there is more variation, and therefore their scores get boosted. Another thing is that they have more soloists (obviously easier for one person to play good, versus a group of people of people to play nicely and together)

Lonestar was better at melissa by far than argyle at princeton

Curious what you think the order will be with the past 2 competitions as reference

ohh gotcha

burnet and calallen and canyon beating celina is quite crazy. Celina has taken the argyle route, we’ll see how it pans out for them, but i think sulphur springs will be the top half for sure, as well as china spring. Davenport was a new school that had a great program next year, excited to see what they do.

When Argyle was in 4A, they never had that kind of power. They really took a step up in all departments of their show and I think it is heavily benefiting them
