Amazing analysis. Thanks for putting that together. Very interesting.

As a percussion centric fan, something seems off with the final results. Aledo Percussion jumped from 13th in prelims to 1st in finals. That is a BIG jump for a group who has a stellar band but not normally in the discussion for percussion prowess. I get that subjectivity is always part of the scoring, but this raises some suspicion in my mind. Especially given that there was no change in band placements from prelims to finals. The judging was pretty consistent, except for percussion. Does anyone else find this mildly suspect?
