But if you're in the state marching band competition, your band has probably been picking up trophies, plaques, and medals all season long so the kids probably already knew they were pretty good stix and vistaridgefan42069 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Josegjr Posted November 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2021 41 minutes ago, Band2021 said: correct: 246 - 20-30 each area - between 35-40 state prelims and 12 state finalist. So yes, top 12 is a very high honor! even 20 would be great. 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 accomplishment.

Popular Post shaggy Posted November 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2021 Sad to see round rock out of state finals again. And with a confusingly low percussion score too (Not blaming the percussion judge I just know how much those kids take pride in having amazing percussion so it sucks to see them not do good in that category) I hope there's still a way for them to make finals at nats. I would imagine if they don't make finals they won't go back in 2023. It's just too expensive and I've heard stories of students/families that struggled to come up with the money to make the trip. peshbandkid, stix and NEPats 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there show could use some cleaning, but I thought they had a pretty good run yesterday and I thought they sounded really good. I wonder how much impact having an early time in the first block plays into a bands score. Marcus was in the same block and made finals so maybe not so much, or maybe following Marcus impacted them? Or maybe they placed exactly where they should have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that will have to be fixed next year. The placements for this competition and the last one for them were justified. It's heartbreaking watching those kids work so hard without the tools needed to excel. Not at all the fault of the students. If your formula is not working, directors, change the darn formula! Your kids want to win. Help them. SanAntonio_Jo and NEPats 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimaster Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 There’s that bush league metronome for Coppell again. Shouldn’t that be a penalty? That band is too good to need that. FaultLineBlues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vidal28 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 16 hours ago, packwick said: i don't think this is really accurate, is it? people "took for granted" what Hebron brought to the table? it actually seems like the case for Hebron was building as we got closer to San Antonio. with no direct match-ups, either, which is impressive. see page 6 of the BOA San Antonio thread. several highly positive remarks, and straight up speculation they could win. i think the real problem is that people fixate on the critiques to the point where they ignore the favorable stuff. Treating the performance aspects of their program as if they’re so much a given that we have to highlight what some may view is lacking, yes. It is always good for people to appreciate what they see ultimately though, when it comes to any group ‘cause the effort is clearly evident through the performance these students give👏👏👏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimaster Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Flower Mound needs to lock in all those Full Ensemble Tuning moments if they want to Medal at GN’s. That issue sticks out because everything else is so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
