What’s the rule for those of us not as well informed?

I think it’s if 2 music and one marching judge gives you first it’s automatically first, but maybe it could just be majority.

Disappointed to not see Timber Creek and Haltom go they both had very close points to 5th but the math shows the placements. They both deserved to go to state and work so hard. The judges sheets are very all over the place and not even close to showing what needs to be worked on. Some judges ranks second and some rank tenth. A new judges panel would be selected in the coming years. Congratulations to all the other bands. Keep it Classy and see you next time.

Bad Judge Rule / Judge's Preference Rule.

 

If a band has three first place votes - and it has to be two music and one marching I believe - they win automatically. Another variation is if the area advances at least three bands, any band getting two 3rd or higher place ranks in music and one in marching will also advance too.

I’m not quite sure where it applies but I know if a band has 3 judges advance them but their overall ordinal score doesn’t advance them, they will still advance and an extra band will be taken to state. I guess it also applies to first place with Keller.

This is one of those areas that could take 10 or even 12 to State and they'd compete very well. (This is not to diss other areas, just to point out how deep this area is). It's heartbreaking to see bands who are SO talented not get to go. If only more could advance. I think the hardest thing to deal with is had one more band made a "1" Timber Creek would've gone, too. Ugh Breaks my heart for the kids.

The thing that stood out to me most tonight was when the Keller and Timber Creek drum majors stayed on the field to talk when everyone left. It almost brought tears to my eyes. Keller is such a respectable program and it shows that these results are irrelevant compared to the relationships that these kids have with another. Bravo Keller and Timber Creek for being great humans!

That's beautiful. I teared up!

[Yeetles]

what are your opinions on summit?

[Scur]

I’n gonna need a few bats tonight... anyone know of a bulk supplier?

 

 

L.D. Bell deserved better come on and I believe the UIL tiebreaker rule needs to be changed.

[Bandwoww]

Area B was definitely an uphill battle for Keller with a super demanding show that is probably the least “UIL” show that advanced.

[TXWestside]

Results are up on UIL forms...

I’m sorry I might not understand but how does that change anything about placements in finals? They didn’t even tie

They’re a great band don’t get me wrong

[Dosh24]

Can someone explain how Duncanville and Timber Creek tied but Duncanville advanced?

[eeman0201]

A judge put Keller 11th in marching for prelims, then some judge put them in 10th for music in finals. It’s almost like there was one judge that really didn’t like them...

[Bandwoww]

Geez two judges had Keller in 1st in music and on had them in tenth. Good thing that judge didn’t get their way.

[Sparks]

I am very proud of Waxahachie, but this was as good as any state contest I have ever attended as a 13 year band parent. Breaks my heart for Timber Creek, but also L.D. Bell who is a perrinial state contest participant.

It’s like if more judges rank you higher or something. (IMO this was timber creek’s year but that’s beside the point)

Yeah...those are the flaws of UIL judging. Good thing it was only one crazy judge.

Yes but looking at the Timber Creek and Duncanville scores. Apparently the tiebreaker is up to judge’s preference, and if so, how could they do that? The UIL system needs to be changed to catch up to the current times. In BOA, LD Bell beats Timber, but then all of the sudden they lose by like 3 places? I know the systems are different but it should all be a good reflection of the band programs, which this is not.

[BandFriendzz]

What I realized And and don’t get upset ! Is timber , bell and haltom are all boa bands now. If you look at al the groups other than Keller and I think coppell . The band doesn’t do much visually . Except March. Stand still and play . With that being said if this was even alittle more judged off of general effect and stuff like that as boa is then bell Keller And haltom had the best visual package . Sorry for my opinion and it sucks that what happened happened . But all was close and I enjoyed almost all of it . Just think a lot should of been different in some places .

Any ways I’m excited for boa San Antonio cause a lot of the groups that advanced tonight won’t be advancing for finals boa San Antonio and I can see some of the bands that didn’t advance have a high chance of advancing .

Agreed ! With the add of timber haltom and bell . All shows that aren’t uil based and it’s makes me upset how they didn’t get credit for the incredible visual program they bring to the table !

You should probably get a little bit more knowledge before you speak. We all know you’re a haltom mom alumni whatever, just like I am for prosper but I know prosper has a more BOA based show because of BOA Grand Nationals and BOA San Antonio. Get over yourself and don’t make excuses

I’m definitely not . I graduated from birdville high school in 2015 . Thank you for your input . And just cause you “attend “boa doesn’t mean you are a boa band . What did prosper place at boa grand bats last year ? Exactly . And they placed wel at uil state contest . So maybe before you come for people . You should educate yourself . Thank you very much . Yes prosper does well in boa but they are better in uil . Same for coppell . Same for Waxahachie. Keller is a boa style band . But they also do very well in uil. They are a double hitter . Timber creek obviously does better boa . LD Bell visual package is more extravagant than ever and kind of over throws the uil style and tbh I live for it . Haltom medaled a boa super regional last year with some grand national finalist in previous years .so look up your history before you try to start stufff

. Thank you for coming to my ted talk .
