cookie cutter show always wins in 4A.

Prelims looked to be a blowout on the score card. The Finals had the top 3 separated by 2pts. Panther Creek/Davenport tied but because 4 of the 7 judges had Panther over Davenport so Panther gets 2nd. 

That’s what I’ve been saying but not one believed me! Lol. Prelims were a blowout.

Clean and boring will always beat clean and ridiculously hard.  To be honest I almost think that they refuse to let that difficult of a show win because of what it would do to 4A.  The standard would be through the roof and most bands would be left in the dust.

Again just my opinion.  You can and probably will disagree.

I agree

whats up with smbc.uiltexas.org not having finals being uploaded

I predict Celina will follow up 2024’s “Royalty” and the 3-pete with 2025’s production “The Righteous” featuring the music of the Righteous Brothers.  It will be super clean, underwhelming, and win again.

If this is the first time you’ve made state in school history i’m not surprised you don’t know how the competitive and subjective the competition is 🤷‍♂️

Also to panther creek, your guys show was so incredibly difficult and you guys played it so cleanly. Keep your head up and be proud of your accomplishments.

[cheeto2401]

you are the only one hating. You are going around to everyone saying your wrong, your just hating, when factually the past three years celina has won off of incredibly boring shows, playing simple plain music. Last year, yeah they were really clean, but this year had so many parts with super crooked lines, missteps, the whole 9 yards. No matter what happened we all know the students play their hearts out and give it their all, and everyone recognizes that, but that just doesn’t take away from the fact that their show is basic and simple and lacks creativity.

Dude I’m here to celebrate everyone! I’m sorry you are so upset. Every band should be proud of their accomplishments. 
 

So many bands this year qualified for the competition for the first time, made finals for the first time, and maybe medaled for the first time (Davenport?). I’m thrilled for everyone.

No one is upset? I am just stating how 4A is. I am constantly telling all bands and students that they should always be proud of their accomplishments, and that everyone did amazing. It’s not like it’s some new topic that no one agrees with, it’s been this way with 4A a very long time, right now with Celina, before them with Argyle. People can have civil discussions about the grading and judging that took place, it is a forum for a reason. No one is trying to hate on the students.
