This is exactly the reason why as a student of a program it's best to not try to over-analyse the judges sheet. As a student YOU ARE BIASED, and with reason, you feel an emotional connection to your program because only you know exactly how much work you put into a show and the experiences you've had with these people. Even as a recent graduate I still have this biased towards my ala mater, I still feel emotionally invested in the program, and it clouds the judging mind. It's expected missing out on something like state sucks, or not getting what you would expect at any competition, once it's ended and you've had time to cool down take a second and think. The is art and is opinionated. If you're in this activity at all I'm sure your doing it for the experience not just some simple win, if you want that you might as well do a more simple activity that doesn't consume as much time or money. "Bad" judging will probably happen more then once in you high school career. You aren't going to be talking about what Judge 4 gave you in marching in 10 yrs(I hope not), but will remember what an amazing high school experiance you had because of the activity. My most memorable show happened my senior year where after our finals performance, what we felt had the most energy and emotion yet, knocked us down 2 places. But I honestly DIDN'T CARE, I could only think about the importance of the past four years and the tears of joy in my face. And on another note after watching my video a couple times after, it was full of energy but not nearly as clean as prelims lol. And for my last tangent. If you are going to use forums like these to chat try not to stir things up, no talking about how wrong the judges were for placing your school low or how so-and-so school doesn't sound anywhere as good as you. Regardless of if you think it is true or not, YOU ARE BIASED. At the very least if you are going to be provocative make sure you leave you school name out as too not make them look bad lamo.

Me as a band student really don't see the problem with the words hate and manic. And neither did my parent i guess sience they seen WC's show twice in my marching season and loved the creativeness of it. And i must say the colorguard is amazing as always straitjakets and all lmao. And i found the news report hilarious i LOLED when the reported said "This show will never be performed again" in a dramatic voice, well duh you idiot their season is over xD.

Well great art is always going to offend someone, yes this entire thing is stupid. But props to churchill for putting something on the field diffrent and I personally enjoyed it. And lol if the kids are actually expected to apologize for anything its complete non-sense sience they only perform what their directors put togther for them. Oh and how exactly did the director recover from the fall from the band tower? Our band director told us he was in the hosptal a long time ago during practice. I just never actually knew the outcome.

Wow i find this pretty funny because the whole reason i like the show is the trivial and diffrent aspect of it. So i guess i would be agaisnt the mentally disabled too >_>(sarcasm)

Well at my school we have trombones serperate from the tuba/euphs(or baritones during marching season) now what my director wants to do next marching season is put the trombones on marching baritons and the actually bariton/euphonium players are going to use marching euphoniums that gets and the tubas will be marching contras also. And on another note their are a few schools in my area that march contras the woodlands being one of them

Yeah SFA had homecomming the same day and i can see some pissed band members if they would have had to go.

Actually it is still kinda like that just slightly better. All the solos i have played in HS and middle were pretty much written for Trombone. O.o and the Mouthpiece thing I'm playing on a Wick SM2 right now.
