Some things that jump out to me- This is Cedar Park's 4th Caldwell Cup (highest score overall), having previously won in 2009, 2017 and 2020. I'm pretty certain this is the most of any school, though results from the 1990s are unavailable. Though the caption awards have no bearing on your actual placement, it's still notable that Cedar Park won without taking a single caption. Not sure I've ever seen that happen. Coppell has really established themselves as a drumline powerhouse in the last few years. After breaking through with a Caldwell Cup win in 2019, they haven't missed a beat. Also, their non-varisty handily outscored several other schools' top groups. Very impressive. Is John Horn back??? I'm sure many of you are aware that it wasn't that long ago that Horn had a brief but glorious run as one of the absolute best drumlines in the country from about 2012-2014, absolutely dominating this contest in those years. They fell off pretty abruptly after that, but this is unquestionably their strongest finish here since then. Lastly, as a former bass line section leader at Newman Smith, I have to shout them out for taking the bass caption here. Very proud!

2021 6A UIL SMBC (Nov. 8 & 9)
bingogooberman replied to LeanderMomma's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Coppell and Marcus are the two to look out for from DFW. Hebron has historically been elite but their results at HEB/pdlc had them lower than you’d expect. Hard to say with FloMo as they don’t do many drum line contests anymore. Same with round rock. I imagine vista will be up there too. -

They did not, this will be their long long overdue BOA SA debut -
2021 5A UIL SMBC (Nov. 1 & 2)
bingogooberman replied to LeanderMomma's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Mansfield Legacy that same year I think. Possibly also Forney and Hays but I’d have to go back and see if they’d qualified prior. Lake Ridge 2011 -

bingogooberman replied to LeanderMomma's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Really surprised that creekview is only 2A, their enrollment numbers seem to be much lower than back when I was in school. Big congrats to them on taking music and medaling in class from a CFBISD alum -

I submitted predictions for midland but it looks like they didn’t go through, it just shows a blank list for my submission. Could I get a re-do? I’m trying to hold on to my top spot in the rankings LOL! -

2020 6A State
bingogooberman replied to zoomer's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Just popping in to say how impressed I am with what these schools have been able to accomplish under the circumstances. I was particularly moved by FloMo and their absolutely gorgeous arrangement of rocky point and by Hebron, whose show is undoubtedly the most musically ambitious I’ve seen from this years slate (shocker, I know) but I liked it mostly because I felt like it transported me back to the kind of show Hebron would have fielded 10-15 years ago (I’m so old ) Can’t wait to see how this turns out! -
2020 BOA San Antonio
bingogooberman replied to CTJBandPops's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Leander has never struck me as the type of band that changes their style all that much on UIL years anyway, they just put on the coolest Most artistic show they can regardless of the rubric they’re being judged on, which I admire -
I think matched grip is more popular in Texas than other places. Some see it as a cop out but I think traditional grip is needlessly cumbersome unless you’re tilting your snares, which itself is uncomfortable. Traditional grip does look cooler though lol

it was the third part of a trilogy of shows that were loosely inspired by the rapture, with 2005's Ascension: Light of Gold representing the actual rapture, 2006's The Remaining (probably my favorite show ever- the drama! the power! the physicality!) depicting those who were left behind on Earth, and 2007's transcenDENTS (I can offer no insight into why the title was styled this way, but it was, lol) representing some kind of redemption for the remaining (i think?) The activity has advanced so drastically since then, but I don't think I've ever seen another show that was as cinematic and captivating as these shows were. Broken Arrow's come close a few times, and lately Reagan, too, but the guard member popping out of the white tarp at the end of The Remaining? Unmatched!

congrats Vandegrift! They really stepped up their game this year and it payed off. To win grand nationals on their first go, place first across all three levels of competition, and nearly become the first Texas band to win visual in finals is such an incredible accomplishment. Also, they can still lay claim to the title of only band in America that Avon hasn’t beaten, lol

keep in mind, a texas band has NEVER won visual in grand national finals. Vandy (or Leander!) could become the first tonight. Fingers crossed!

2020 Boa Grand Nationals
bingogooberman replied to Okstatemusic's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Flo Mo def won’t go in 2020. They were originally scheduled to do nats in 18 as opposed to 17, but after 16 was such a debacle for all the state participants who were also going to nationals, the moved it up to 17, I believe at the districts request. They and Marcus will likely go in 2021 -
2019 5A State
bingogooberman replied to PantherBone's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Thank you!! Great show from them, they’ve improved so drastically over the last few years. Pretty remarkable stuff from such a small ensemble. Rainbow connection was stunning! I wonder why their membership is so low compared to similarly sized schools. Maybe their success will help with recruitment. It’s about time they start attending BOA, they would be firmly in the running for finals at just about any regular season regional -
