Liam Allen Posted Saturday at 07:41 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:41 PM China Spring - I don’t think that’s quite the run you wanted. There’s some spots that just don’t sound confident. I’ll chalk it up to Area jitters I guess. Other than that, some balance issues here and there and some feet issues here and there. Individual error is hard to delete, but you have to do it. Unbelievable sound in some spots. Go take it to Finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Allen Posted Saturday at 07:53 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:53 PM Godley - having to follow CS is a time slot of all time. Lots of unclear melodic material. The fact that it still sounds like that makes me think that it’s not the band; could easily be arranging. Some really great moments in there. Balance is great when it hits.

Liam Allen Posted Saturday at 09:30 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:30 PM And Panther Creek just blew the walls down. Incredible woodwinds. Brass is great as well. A few individual errors in marching. Some missed releases by milliseconds. This show will push 4A to its limits. honeydewclarinet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandman24 Posted Sunday at 05:58 AM Share Posted Sunday at 05:58 AM Top two were a given, but too be honest, no disrespect, but a few of those bands and their placement, got hosed...in my opinion ntxflutiez 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 4Afan Posted Sunday at 07:04 AM Popular Post Share Posted Sunday at 07:04 AM This should be the last contest for this judging panel. Objectively, 3rd-8th spots are incredibly flawed. 2 ties—almost FOUR….And prelims? Cmon.. bandman24, Liam Allen, Rach and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandSM_19 Posted Sunday at 07:05 AM Share Posted Sunday at 07:05 AM Area B was super intense today! I think a lot of bands flew under the radar of the judges. I was totally surprised to see some of the bands that made it to the finals. The top two were a no-brainer, but the other bands didn’t have a fair shot from the prelims to the finals. 4Afan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Allen Posted Sunday at 07:24 AM Share Posted Sunday at 07:24 AM I still stand by my predictions lol. Krum and Alvarado got rinsed. However, considering that I managed to see all of finals live, there were going to be at least three very much deserving bands that got kicked to the curb. That being said, congratulations to all performing and advancing bands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Allen Posted Sunday at 07:30 AM Share Posted Sunday at 07:30 AM Having now looked at the recaps, I can say with a certain level of confidence that I very much disagree with quite a few of these results. To address the PC/CS thing, I think it will quite literally depend on the run they each have. They basically flipped all their scores from prelims to finals. In other words, they’re very much in the ballpark of each other; there hasn’t been some earth-shattering upheaval in terms of scoring. Rest assured that PC will not take this loss sitting down, and CS will not take this win for granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam can you give you analysis and honest opinion about Venus I’m not really concerned about how we placed more about how we did as a band and all of that stuff also side note I think we would of placed a lil higher than what we did but I do know there were a lot of other bands that’s had the razzle dazzle we didn’t lol if that makes sense thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PE_Credit Posted Sunday at 05:27 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:27 PM China Spring took advantage of that last spot and left the judges with something to think about. Kudos to them for a great show and taking advantage of the draw. I'm surprised Krum was left out, but I'm even more dumbfounded by Alvarado being in 9th place after prelims and 8th place in finals. Sometimes, you run into a panel of judges who just don't like a show, and I imagine that's what happened. That's the only thing that makes sense. txsdrum16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PE_Credit Posted Sunday at 05:33 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:33 PM The biggest winners of the day were Area D bands with the likes of China Spring, Robinson, Gatesville, Alvarado, Springtown and Castleberry all moving to the new area. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zkxng.- Posted Sunday at 09:07 PM Share Posted Sunday at 09:07 PM I'm from Southwest and we really felt like we got butchered with our scoring too, I'm not complaining about not making finals but that was definitely better than 16th even our director was taken back with the 16th place we got after the run we had, and our scoring was quite inconsistent so that makes it harder to know exactly what happened, sometimes it feels like the judges just throw a random score down when they aren't sure, one judge has us at 9 musically and another had us at 20, while visually we had 13 and 23, just a little jarring. bandman24 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just.me Posted Sunday at 10:18 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:18 PM 2 hours ago, bandman24 said: Agreed. Fine band, but not a state finalist, not last night anyway...again, thats how it goes, bands have off nights when otherwise they are usually really good, but you judge based on THAT performance, and that was not a #3 band, but i also didnt think they placed ANYONE from 3rd on correctly...CS and PS were on next level so they deserve 1 and 2, but, nothing anyone can do about it now..not stirring up controversy but i told my wife before they announced the state finalists that their was no way Aubrey doesn't make it with Aubreys superintendent and UIL Area B official handing out the plaques...maybe I'm just being a crybaby tho hahaha. Regardless, congrats to all the bands that advanced! Go get us a title! Well, I definitely think Sanger should have been in finals, their show was great and they were strong musically and visually. bandman24 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKendrick Posted Sunday at 10:19 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:19 PM Man. 4A topics are even spicier than 6A. I posted this in the 4A Area C thread too. Just because a band didn't do as well as you wanted doesn't mean you get to come on here and spread baseless and silly misinformation. Area notoriously produces crazy results every year. It's no surprise. Keeping an eye on this topic....... Liam Allen and thejitfromband 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
