I think just making it to the state marching contest is an incredible honor. Not everyone get the opportunity to participate in that contest. So regardless of placement we should see it as a huge acco

Tough night for Houston (also don't flood my DMs asking for the recaps).

Based off that that I would hazard a guess that Pearland and Seven Lakes were 1st and 2nd out respectively

Edit: Cypress Woods could also have been the band from Area I

I've had the same thought.  Which is a shame because their show design is phenomenal and historically there are very few bands that can match them musically.  I just think they are struggling with blend and intonation a bit more than usual.  Still a phenomenal production that I expect to be in contention at Nationals, but they need to solidify their tuning to win imo.

Definitely agree, their tone color is still very much characteristically FloMo, a bit brighter, piercing at times, but has such great clarity when they’re at their best, I feel like some sections muddy their sound up quite a bit where that blend isn’t there, particularly in the middle voices. I can name a few spots in particular I have an issue with in that regard, but I’d rather just not talk about it, if it simply gets fixed like we all know they can do!!🔥🔥

They were both great! Hard to compare when they have such differing approaches. Hebron has very difficult music and drill, doing both at the same time, and has a lot of incredible solos. Vandy is unmatched visuals and dance with beautifully integrated and performed music, with very few solos. Not sure how the judges even approach such diversity in show style.

Honestly, I think Hebron and Vandy are pretty evenly matched talent wise. They are both just amazing. I will even throw CTJ in there too. They're all so good. I think results really just reflect judges' preferences. Probably shouldn't, but let's be real - some judges just prefer certain styles. And each of these schools have a definite, distinct style. I think CTJ's unconventional style has cost them, which is a shame because they are REALLY good. But some old-school, traditional judges probably score lower because of it. I would not at all be upset to see CTJ win tomorrow or take the title in Indy.
