Is there any update on the friendswood band member who passed out on the field at end of show and was carted  off on one of the prop wagons? Was a scary moment

in all seriousness: i am so nervous for the contest! first time not watching hs bands in 9 years which feels weird (besides the occasional pop ins for stream). everyone did so good tonight that i just enjoyed and soaked in the moment. im so proud of everyone who performed, especially my friends who go to some of these finalists schools!

[LostChoirGuy]

Did anyone else see Argyle's entire band ripple salute when the drum majors saluted?  That was awesome.

Had 10-12 in a different order but I'll take 1-9 correct.

Congratulations to Cedar Park on their 8th championship and 6th in a row!! They are now tied for the most gold medalist with Argyle!! Could see them taking the lead next year. Congratulations again to everyone!!

Incredible performances from everyone these past 2 days, "Texcellence" is alive and well. Crazy that this is only the beginning of the end for the competitive season, the next two weeks are going to be special!

agree. will not be surprised at all if cedar park medals at grand nats

[Band-tober mom]

Congrats to all!!  Interesting to view the breakdown of scores. I believe MNHS should have been 8 or 9… 

[RouseMegaFan]

I LOVE YOU ROUSE!!! In all seriousness I saw some rouse kids upset about their placements, and just wanted to say that what everyone has achieved tonight is nothing short of excellence so wear that badge with pride! Every band should go home knowing they achieved something that seems unreachable for most and again should be extremely proud of. 
 

[WanderingTraveler]

What a wild contest! Congratulations to every band in the contest, as well as the finalist, and the champion Cedar Park!!! Excited to see these bands in the later contests and next year! 

[clarinote]

Does anyone have the extended scoresheet?

He’s alright, he’s back at home now and fine. 

[11BandMan11]

Bravo to all the RIDICULOUSLY good performances for prelims and finals! I remember going to my first UIL State Marching contest a couple decades ago, and seeing where the activity and groups have gone since then. PURE! EXCELLENCE! 
Band kids, parents, and directors are truly amazing people!

Dang. Not too shabby for Argyle's first 5a appearance. They're improving super fast. Let's see how long it takes them to dethrone Cedar Park if they stay in the same classification.

Argyle would be the band to do it. They would have made 5a state the very first year they were a 5a but it wasn't a state year that time. The next year they were in a state spot prelims but unfortunately dropped down. This year they kept their spot from prelims to finals. Essentially, since Argyle has been a 5a only one run hasn't been state worthy which is unheard of. Also 4a to 5a is the biggest jump a band can make and Argyle made it look like it was nothing. Argyle will dethrone Cedar Park eventually.
