Bravo ftwclarinet. I couldnt have said it better myself. His statement was uncalled for and unprofessional. Yes its an opinion of his but he shouldn't say such a statement out in the open and not consider that they work just as hard as any other band in this state. Every judge/spectator/band parent/band student has their own opinions and it looked like they came to an agreement that it was the battle of the class champions at lone star. The judges even rotated to different categories. My take on this contest was the top 10 all worked hard and all deserve a congratulations for great finals performances. Each one brought a new game face on as they took the field and the results showed that when each band shifted around. Cant wait for the rest of the season!
