rockwall next😋

richardson also lost electronics at boa waco so it’s still a toss up

I don’t think they were celebrating KCs loss but more like there first win in a while, last year they were that last band. 8th and top 7 made it last year

that website for the 5A Schedule says “full band” but 6A says “DM” and then at the bottom is says full retreat following finals so just which one is right😭

https://www.uilregion3music.org/area-c-marching scroll to the bottom this is currently what’s posted, and I feel like it would be too late to make changes like that on top of all the other changes i’m about crash out retreats are so fun for the kids

where are you hearing this

How much you wanna bet rockwall doesn’t sweep 😂

marcus prelims run https://vimeo.com/1025740654/d292944f3e?ts=0&share=copy

everyone still goes on tuesday, too late to change it back.

royce city over pearce is crazyy

area B* but I agree, i’ve seen crazy point gaps in just two weeks under different judging.

keep in mind not all schools has full shows by then so still a toss up🤷 why does this area have to be so unpredictable 😭

poor south lake last year in B, their prelims run scored 7th (enough for state) but got knocked in finals.

where are you finding results? send the link pls 🥺

what time is finals?

didn’t pearce place higher than rockwall at mckinney?

100% Im thinking: 1:waxahachie 2:forney 3-6(in any order):pearce, duncanville, berkner, and lake highlands. 7:rockwall 8: sachse 9:richardson 10:north garland

would you like me to encourage it then?😂

definitely think they’re place is going up this year, out of bloodbath B I see them top 7 for sure.

totally agree, especially with boa judging. anything’s possible!

but that brings the question of where’s the foundation for judging? how do you judge a show on the enjoy ability of it and the effect it has on the audience. and if it doesn’t make sense to the idea of the show is that something that should be judged when we’re talking about performers. if the show it’s super clean but it doesn’t fit the theme do points get taken off simply because the design doesn’t compliment the music? if so, the kids can’t control that and I think we should be judging the kids performance and execution of skills rather than how non-performers designed a show.

if I “don’t understand the caption” don’t dismiss it, try to explain to the points i’m making and help me understand better. don’t shut me down on an open forum to discuss topics.

yess yess pearce over rockwall was a shocker, deserved but unexpected wow! forney missing boa finals by a tenth of a point and berkner and lake highlands at each others throats. who ever said this was the “C shake up” was not kidding😂

so basically just music and visual? there’s already judges for those. and for these categories I feel that it is more of a solid judging ground than the GE category. there’s ensemble and individual judges for both so feet in time and completing phrases are things that are already judged and can provide a solid reason for their scores. For GE on the other hand I feel it’s a little bit more opinionated. If you say a band executed better than an other you have to back it up with the music and visual (which we already have a category for) so there’s not really a point in it in my opinion. And if you say I feel like said band executed better because their their show sounded and looked better that’s more opinion based than student production based. GE to me feels like a glorified combined visual and music score but with added things like design which again, the kids can’t control.

then what’s the point in GE if it’s mostly based on cleanliness? If it’s about how well they play while hitting their dots we already have categories for that. If the GE category is about execution that’s basically the same as the subtotal, but just built as its own category. And design is still money based but I see the point you’re making.
