So for any outsiders that watched our show (the candy show), Do y’all think we deserved that placement? we thought we had a great run, was it not as great as we thought? I saw your show at Webster and loved it. You finished in the Top 15% of bands in this amazing state. Be proud of that. All the judges scoring varies, they are humans. Think of where you were that first day of practice in July to now. Reflect on that accomplishment and the fun you had along the way. mendoza, Chippy, BandAlumMom and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston213 Posted Tuesday at 04:27 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:27 PM 27 minutes ago, Fez76 said: Woods is slightly more BOA-oriented for sure, but it’s not like they can’t perform with UIL. People on this board are saying that the TMC and State score sheets are the same, and Woods did very well at TMC. Also, they took first place at Area, which is also UIL. slight correction but Bridgeland won area I this year due to some UIL rule on getting two 1s in music and one 1 in visual. Apparently that automatically makes you the winner by default. But if it wasn't for that rule, woods would have remained area champion. This info came out a day or two after the original area results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheels Posted Tuesday at 04:33 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:33 PM So happy for 7Lakes. They have been constantly really strong since Mays took over in 2016. They have made finals in every BOA event they take part in except SASR. It’s really difficult to break through that top 15 wall because the level of excellence in Texas is amazing. I believe their best BOA finish was 2nd losing out to CTJ in 2018 & best UIL state was 9th in the Covid year. I don’t expect they’ll break into the top 10 this year but I think the future is bright. mendoza 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not know that. They definitely deserved it, having to stop and restart 4+ hours later and then perform like they did.

This is correct, but I didn’t say Woods was the champion. Woods score put them in 1st place, and that remains true. BandAlumMom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was an egregious oversight by the UIL to name a champion and then remove the title days later. It’s a dumb rule, too. Makes sense for determining if a band can advance to state, but not for placements. Woods has had a confusing and frustrating week for sure! I hope they take it as fuel to make them even stronger. There is so much talent in that program. The future is bright! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenoid Posted Tuesday at 04:47 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:47 PM 49 minutes ago, TrenBS said: I would be inclined to agree with you, but zero area C bands made finals, and in my opinion, areas shouldnt be restricting any new faces to state just so 4 bands who are grand nats finals or UIL finals bands have an easy time going to state, in my opinion And plus, Wylie and Braswell wouldve most likely placed above most if not all of the C bands given the UIL sheets, area J is horrendously too dense right now and leaves zero give on that front I can agree with this. I was so surprised at Wylie not making it given their track record at Area C over the years. JazzRun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year a state spot was lost going from 5 to 4 because a program was disqualified. What’s great though is you now have so many strong programs in the area it’s going to be a dog fight from now on. The 4 that made it have fanatic shows & are strong programs. I agree the placements at state for C W& CF is a head scratcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertytb12 Posted Tuesday at 05:02 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:02 PM 41 minutes ago, TexasEx said: You’re in the TOP 40 bands of 250ish across the state. That’s basically the top 16% of 6A bands in the state. While easier said than understood in the moment, these placements do not subtract from what an accomplishment your program has achieved. Congrats on a great season! Nah there are better bands who didnt make state, its unfair to call mcneil, westwood, churchill, and Bowie worse then these bands. And thats just naming a few Coolzo360 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thats just naming a few All great programs too! These 40 bands are representing the best of the best across the state. Some areas have more heavy hitters than others, and thus making it more difficult to advance to state. However, I’m not here to discount the work of any program. I’m 10+ years removed from this activity myself. My program made state 1 year out of the 2 we competed. We were first alternate at area the first year and placed 3rd at state in the old 4A, what would now be 5A, 2 years after. I understand what it feels like to be on the outside looking in - but healthy competition is good for all. All of these programs will continue to improve year over year & some who have made state in the past, may miss in the future, that’s just how competitive Texas Band is. Keep up the good work and strive to make a difference, for the better! 🤘🏼 mendoza, BandAlumMom and CosmicLimbo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure, maybe the same reason as Cedar Park not attending 5A prelims retreat? Unsure of either reason, unless they are commuting the full distance and just trying to give the members some rest.

For CP it was just the long commute affecting the need for rest, and the need for kids to have some time for doing schoolwork. I can't speak for Vandegrift but it wouldn't surprise me if it were something similar. 16 minutes ago, tubapop said: Practicing for finals. Hardcore move. 🙂 Ha. Or probably this, knowing Vandy.

Popular Post Tubalord11 Posted Tuesday at 07:59 PM Popular Post Share Posted Tuesday at 07:59 PM Hello everyone! Getting ready for this contest, will hopefully be here all day, I do have a class from 3:30-4:45 that I was going to skip but of course were doing an assignment in class today of all days, but I'll still be at least listening to those bands, commenting will depend on if I can or not. Good luck to everyone, can't wait for another day of amazing band!! TheBandFan, mendoza and utee94 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
