I’ve thought the same thing. General effect includes stuff like props and uniforms, basically the feeling you get after seeing a good movie, but in this case after a marching show. And that’s stuff the kids don’t control. That counts towards 60% of their scoring!! You would think a contest would be more focused on the work the kids produce, and not the things money produces. And not that kids don’t control GE, just a HUGE portion of it is produced by money that not all schools can afford to fund.

anyone have the prelims scoresheet?

because it’s a long drive for a tough competition 🤷 would be a long day when they could see better results locally

a few people have given their top 12. anyone have a guess for the bottom 12?

the berkner glazing is crazy

Cool opinion😐👍

Performance schedule!

could definitely see lake ridge on top this year. what do you mean that berkner sounds like a concert band this year? haven heard much from them or their show yet this season.

I’m looking very forward to it, surprising yet well deserved results last year so hoping for a good time! The contest section on the Mansfield website has not been updated yet so not much information about performing bands this year yet.😢 I do know by their band calendar that Colleyville, Berkner, Timberview, and midlothian will be participating this year.

super confused about the “d-ville over berkner” lineup in a lot of predictions. berkner seems to finally be bouncing back after covid and last year placed higher than duncan at boa and area. i’d imagine both making state but I see berkner over d-vile and potentially rockwall too

When will performance times be released? Comparing to the time last years were released won’t be a bad idea.
