judging was all over the place in prelims!

agreed. super different in prelims and lots of disparities, however in finals most of the judging seemed to be closer lol

I do think the top 6 of this competition were correctly placed in finals but it's sad to see huge disparities from prelims to finals. It just makes you think what other bands would have made finals if there weren't these judging issues.

This is a little late, but I want to extend my congratulations to all of the bands that performed on Saturday!! I wasn’t able to watch everyone since I was performing with my own group here, but the sounds even from the lot were POWERFUL, and I think it goes without saying that the competition here was incredibly fierce, dare I say more so than the previous years!

Everyone did amazing, and it’s so sad to see so many talented groups who deserved to qualify for State not make the cut, but those who did make it definitely deserved it, too. 

Everyone should be super proud of their hard work and their performance regardless of their rankings, because all that effort was reflected on that field. Great shows all around, and they just keep getting better every year!!

Looking forward to see how things go at State, best wishes to everyone on the way there!

I know it’s been a few days but I want to give my thoughts the area contest from this past weekend. Congrats to all 4 bands who made state out of this area! It’s awesome to see Wakeland, Lone Star, and McKinney North defending their state spots in this area and congratulations to Argyle for making the 5A state championship for the 1st time in school history, huge deal for that program, especially since they were a 4A only a few years ago, and it’s awesome to see them get their revenge this year after heartbreak last year!! I am sad for Lebanon Trail since they had such an awesome show this year and were 1 point away from Argyle in finals, but they should still be proud of the amazing product that they put out this year and we’ll see if they will get their revenge next year. Lone Star and Wakeland were also 1 point apart from each other so we’ll see how they do against each other at state👀. Shocked to not see Emerson and The Colony in finals, but with the area being the way it is, there will always be surprises. Congrats to all of the other finalists (Reedy, Liberty, Memorial, Walnut Grove, and Heritage) for amazing showings on Saturday night and I see very bright futures ahead for all of these bands!
