Lots of conflicting info in both the St Louis and Waco forums leads to me being very excited to see the recaps :D

I’m not at all surprised Bowie swept captions today after I saw their massive improvement last Saturday at TMC. They’ll be in finals at San Antonio too I’m betting.

 

I’m shocked Hendrickson is out. I was blown away by their show last Saturday. What am I missing? Or better yet, what are THEY missing?!

I was sitting with the band director that was left behind in case they made finals.

Is there a chance the judges wanted Hendrickson to go home and do UIL?

If it is true that Hendrickson didn’t place in the top 10, I’m shocked frankly. They made San Antonio finals last year and as far as I am aware, they didn’t go through any more major transitions after all they went through last season.

According to the notes the directors recieved, apparently the "Judges" didn't understand the show concept. Even though the pre-show tells everyone what the show is. Go figure.

Oh my word it couldn’t be more clear what Hendrickson is doing this season. Give me a break!

Henny was assigned a new director at the end of 2018 instead of giving the job to Phelan who took over after Adkinson was released. Bad decisions cost them at Austin, not having the "loudest" band cost them today.

How many bands here are former regional champions? Bowie is, right? Richland, maybe? I was hoping to see another new champion to add to the 2 we already have had in texas this year, but I wouldnt want it taken away from Bowie when they deserve it!

Just wondering...are the judges ever “judged” by BOA as to their performance??

I mean they're pretty decisive as who they choose to judge. A lot of them are even DCI judges or directors of successful programs. Let's not act like this is the only panel that has graded Hendrickson poorly this season.

After reready my last few posts/replies, they seem to come off like I am upset with the results because Henny is out.

To be clear, I don't have a horse in this race anymore. I've just become hooked on marching arts and just feel there are other reasons for the outcomes of some of these contest.

BTW, I'm sitting on the 40 yard line enjoying finals with my Henny alumni daughter and friend.

The only band I got to see today was Keller but I did see some odd judge activity. One judge was walking on the side of the field behind the prop for a good portion of the beginning/middle of the show. There is no way to properly judge individual performance like that??? It really caught me off guard while watching. I don’t want to undermine Bowie, I didn’t even see them so I bet it was fantastic.
