I didn’t stay for TC because they were amazing last week and I assumed they’d make finals this week! (Not a TC parent)  The show was amazing imo.  Maybe this morning  was troubled, but that show truly evokes emotions and was well-performed. Now I’m very upset I didn’t stay for it this AM. I wanted to record it.

Their show is on YouTube if you want to see it again. ❤️

Nope! 1 point! Let's go Lone Star! And the judge that put LS in 3rd after prelims for music put them in 1st for finals!

they just added up every single raw score from the judges in finals. it doesn't really apply, every judge is gonna scale things a little differently so that's why the number rank given by each judge determines actual rankings

so basically, wakeland won because of reputation?

No, it’s just that the judges that picked wakeland over lone star had much smaller differences than the ones lone star beat wakeland in. For example, in one of the Music captions, Wakeland beat Lone Star, but only by 2/1000. While the visual caption Lone Star won, they beat wakeland by 20 points.

The director for cedar park is here judging.... he's getting a preview of what N. Texas is bringing down to state.... 

Expand  

NO, the director of Cedar Park was not judging this contest. The first director of Cedar Park was judgeing the contest, not the current one. The first director of Cedar Park is no longer affiliated with the school or band. I was sitting next to his wife at the Area H contest (and confirmed he was judging are and I watched the current director of Cedar Park Band come into the stands to watch HIS band compete.

liberty really wowed me, they improved so much in the last year - their new director is really doing something right. also memorial was so so clean, i really enjoyed their show.

gutted for LT since its the first time in school history that they didn't made state, but they should be so proud of themselves for a great performance and being so close to argyle, who i thought had a practically perfect run. MCKINNEY NORTH WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE LAST TIME I SAW THEM, i honestly enjoyed their show more than lone stars, although lone star was still insanely good. but the loudest band of the day was reedy, the power they brought was genuinely amazing, im excited for them to continue their upward trajectory!

though i enjoyed reedy's show and am so excited to see where they go in the next couple of years, i don't think they were the loudest band today. i was on the 50 yard line for all day and i think wakeland was probably the loudest band there. there were some close seconds but i don't think reedy was one of them

[tennertrumbow]

there was one thing that really bugged me and some spectators nearby. mckinney north erupting in cheers and applause when LT was announced as 5th place. 

while i understand that it obviously meant that they had advanced to state, not one other program cheered- not even argyle, who'd been snuffed of a state spot just one year ago and had finally made it back. 

it is my understanding, as was taught by my directors and taught at many other schools, that you do NOT cheer when another band is announced below you. LT placed 5th in this insanely competitive area, so let their accomplishment be recognized, or let their placement one out of state be mourned, either way. you simply cannot burst into cheers and make the celebration of another program about yourself. i think ultimately that lack of maturity and restraint falls upon the directors.

win humbly.

i totally agree. i found it very frustrating to watch because i know those students were probably not happy and as well, i also saw lt parents tearing up for their kids which made me feel for them even more. those kids worked hard and it's extremely heartbreaking and disappointing to see another program cheer for their loss.

fair enough, wakeland was so insanely good that i just expect that of them and so i probably subconsciously forgot about their volume while i was thinking about how loud reedy was

I also agree. It's awesome that argyle did not cheer. I've always loved that about them because of the way the band carries themselves. I remember going up against them when I marched and they didn't cheer even whenever they swept area. It's honestly an amazing accomplishment that it only took them 2 years in 5a to make state. That is unheard of. Melissa who moved up with them hasn't even made area finals and anna got almost dead last. I'm not sure how they run their program but they're obviously doing something right. Soon enough they will win 5a and add another championship. Honestly congrats Argyle y'all deserve it. Y'all always were the band I wanted to see at the end of the season because unfortunately my season always came to a close at area.

He still does clinics for them just about every week....

definitely glad to see argyle making state, and huge congratulations to all of the finalists. as a member of the colony high school, idk what happened. we were kinda confused on why we didn't make finals (alongside emerson), seeing the prelims recap helps a little bit but sadly we just cant change the judge outcome . Glad I got to end my marching career on such a cool show though.
