Who thinks Timber Creek could beat out Bellevue West at Midland? I'd say they're definitely on track for a very strong showing there.

I mentioned it in the BOA Midland thread, but I really think they could take second out from under Bellevue, at least in prelims, since Bellevue is going first. It will be an interesting to see the outcome.

Coming from a guy who could not judge the winner of a one band contest, my only disagreement with the judges was music. Flower Mound's show was incredible but there is something about Hebron's music that gets me every time. Congrats again to every band and good luck to the finalists!!!!

I agree with you. I was totally expecting Hebron to take the music caption in pre-lims 4a class!!

Whoever it was that first said to watch Timber Creek (was it on here?) was 100% right.  Honestly watching today has given my brain creative overload.  Just wow.  I had a few that were not my bag, but I agree with most of the ones I'm assuming are at the top.  I know they say that the order of announcement is in no particular order, but is this really true?  It seems they announced in reverse order?  I could be wrong.

If I recall correctly, performance times are split in two. 6-10th place get a random draw of the first five performance times, and 1-5th get the last five.

I said I'd be shocked if they didn't make finals after watching the KISD Marching Expo, but I'm not sure if I'm the first one to bring them up. I've been extremely impressed with them this season. I can't wait to see what they have in store the rest of this year and the future. Hopefully they make the trek up to Indy soon like their fellow Keller ISD counterparts.

Sorry.  I asked incorrectly. I meant when they announced the finalist.  Is that random order or not?  Last year the order they announced in was the score order (unless I am remembering incorrectly) and was also the order they placed in the finals as well.  I don't know about the order of performance in the finals.  I don't recall that.

Finalists are always announced in random order. Starting last year, performance order is 6-10th place bands in prelims go first in random order, and the 1-5th place bands in prelims go last. Both of those are in random order, so the 1st place band in prelims could theoretically go 6th in finals. This year, since they took 11 to finals due to a tie at 10th place, the first 6 bands performing were the 6-11th place bands in prelims and the last 5 were still the 1-5th place bands in prelims.

After prelims they announce who made finals in random order.  After Finals they announce in score order.

1. Flower Mound / Hebron

2. Flower Mound / Hebron

3. Marcus

4. LD Bell

5. Keller

6. Coppell

7. Vista Ridge

8. Keller Timber Creek

9. Waxahachie

10. Frisco Wakeland

11. Keller Central

 

I know that I more than likely WAY off with my placements but this is my personal ranking after witnessing tonight’s finalist performances. I cannot decide between Flower Mound or Hebron. In my opinion, i think LD Bell edges Keller by just decimals. I personally loved Coppell’s show. Hands down the funnest one I saw all night. Timber Creek impressed me tonight, although I was totally expecting this from them. Vista Ridge...poor kids...what a crazy week they’ve been through. Their musicality had me totally engrossed. Waxahachie, very interesting show. Every band that performed tonight and from throughout the day deserves a standing ovation.

Ok Flomo and Hebron 1 and 2. After that I have no idea who will take 3rd. Bell, Keller, Coppell, Timber Creek, Marcus??? I think it may be Marcus but again I am no judge.

Really? I know Timber Creek did well, but competing for third? I must have watched something different.
