Well if the other regions can qualify schools at the same percentage (72 percentage) as region 27 we should have a total of 22 schools area. These regions are supposed to be improved.

72 %,,, ? 

 region 27 advanced  8 out of 12 or  66,67 %

Should of had 2 mores schools advance with Cy lakes  and Cy Springs !

Life is not fair. Marching band is not fair. Marching band will teach you that life is not fair. 

 

Marching band leads to brutal heartbreak. I have been marching or watching shows for 35 years, and every year I draw the same conclusion. If you are looking for justice, you've come to the wrong place. 

 

My beloved Spartans did not make it to the Alamodome this year, which I find utterly incredulous. But LD Bell did not make it, and they are former national champions. Again, this activity is brutal, unforgiving, and unfair. You rarely, if every, get what you want (or even deserve.) Plenty of people across this state learned that tonight. 

 

I guess I have simply become bitter and cynical after nearly 30 years in this activity. I have come to accept success - and failure - in this activity as a fluke, If I really wanted fairness, I would go watch track and field. In the 100 meter dash, the first person across the finish line is the winner. Marching band is not the 100 meter dash. 

 

Here is Harvey Two-Face's opinion on marching band: 

 

 

What determines who succeeds in life - or for that matter, marching band? "Luck! blind, simple, stupid, doo-dah, clueless luck!" 

 

I guess I really should stop caring, but after investing so much of my life in this activity, I really can't.
