What in my response was snarky/nasty that was different than others. I'd gladly remove it but I didn't see anything in mine that was in anyway "nasty". Well I just caught up on the rest of this conversation so sorry I haven't been stalking the forums all day 🤷♂️ "Results > Your Feelings" is pushing it.

I can see that. But my original post was called absurd and stupid so I felt my response was way more friendly. But got it for future posts.

tubapop Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 4 hours ago, TruthMatters said: Little late, but I believe my post has way more truth than yours. Maybe the top 4 or 5 non-TX bands can make finals in SA and definitely Avon/Carmel/BA can be top 6 and compete for the win. But after that you'd see a lot of TX in the next 20 to 30 bands easily. GN is top heavy with bands that never leave their region for whatever reason, but let's not pretend the top 30 in GN can even come close to the Top 30 in BOA SA. The fact that most of the GN bands refuse to come to TX when TX bands have to spend almost $400K+ to get to Indy is testament to who is not afraid to venture into other competitions. Many examples of bands in TX who don't make UIL or BOA SA finals making it in GN finals and/or finishing right at the bubble of finals. Results > your feelings. GN is a title, it does not reflect quality and / or even that the top bands around the nation every year attend. It's nothing more than a glorified Super Regional with few TX bands thrown in. This takes nothing away from how awesome Avon, Carmel, BA, and many of the others are, but the depth at GN is just not there compared to SA.

Cy-fairTUBA Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 It might be 16 bands to make it to finals if they do increase it so it can be bottom 8 then top 8 preform. It would make more sense than 15 making it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natertater21000 Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Now that we have seen everyone across the state we can start to narrow down the 20 or so bands who stand the greatest chance at making finals. Vandegrift Cedar Park Rouse Vista Ridge Bridgeland The Woodlands Ronald Reagan Hebron Flowermound Marcus Pearland Coppell Cedar Ridge Leander James Bowie Round Rock Westlake Wakeland Cy-Fair CTJ Cypress Woods Dripping Springs This is said every year but I truly believe this may be the most competitive (this does not neccesarily mean the best overall) top 20(ish) this Super has ever seen. I fully expect someone to be on the outside of finals by a margin less than a tenth of a point. The previous record for number of bands in pre lims breaking 90 is 15, and I could see that record being broken this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agreed, it may be harder to win GN (maybe not even, some years lol) but SA is just more of a solid wall of competition compared to Nats. There isn’t really a comparison in my mind.
