This contest line up is just straight-up crazy. Looks like a state finals lineup lol.

Very interesting to see how it played out. I find it very interesting with the 7L score. I would be interested to get my hands on a prelims one.

Lol It would.

Completely true. Jordan had that issue in the past, with the panel. As for the dirt they could get clean. I think 1. Bridgeland -obv 2. Cy-Woods - Good clean. Lots of visual maturity that judges will like. 3. Jordan -Overall, they are better and cleaner than they were in the past and are on the rise. 4. Cy-Fair - Great just don't play together as much as the other bands 5. 7L - Overall very good. Just don't quite have the difficulty of the people ahead of them. 6. Tomkins - don't quite have that wall of sound I feel like. Overall very good. 7. Cinco ranch - good just has a bit of visual dirt. 8. JET - Shows just very clean and kinda easy. I feel like difficulty will play a big role hear. 9. Ranch / Paetow - Bubble mystery 10. Langham / Park / Katy - Bubble mystery *This is not saying any bands are bad. This is just my thoughts and feelings.

They let you go. When you come back you just start duty as normal.

Andddd the forum is dead. Low key might make a bass trombone one.

Tbh. Cinco shows is good and a cool concept I just don't see them competing for the 5th slot. 7L and Jordan just have a different level of music.

What's crazy is the 2 loudest moments will happen back to back.

Bro has priorities. The competition just finished lol. But valid ranking.

Congratulations to all bands!

Surprising considering the captions that 7L won... They won everything but brass.

I have! Which is why I know. There are some outliers of course I have seen a good band from Washington I think it was. It definitely surprised me a bit. To be fair though most of them do the more "hype shows" and not the DCI/competitive style shows that are more prevalent. Then you have a few mid-west bands on top of that. Of whom do the "Ohio state style". So it is just really a different animal on so many different levels.

I am very excited to be their Saturday. Tbh Jordan has an interesting time slot they will stand out but, They will also be almost incomparable to the bands around them. Where as Tomkins and 7L are closer so the judges will have a good time picking them out over one another.
