ViewFromTheBox Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 I’m still amazed with how far Summit has come since I graduated. The double touching section with the brass in the second movement would have never been even a thought. Great job tonight, y’all! Quadmom68 1 Quote
ViewFromTheBox Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Well done Highland Park. That’s a fun show. Love everything about the ballad. Best of luck this season! VinoGirl 1 Quote
ViewFromTheBox Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Wonderful performance tonight McKinney! So much to like about this show. Best of luck this season! Quote
ViewFromTheBox Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Heads up, apparently Burleson got added to the finals line up. Not sure what the story is with that. Anyway, good luck! Quote
ViewFromTheBox Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Much improved performance for Burleson here in finals! Great job. Good luck this season! Quote

Expand This does allow me to bring up a somewhat entertaining related story. In 2009 at the Desoto contest, we thought we missed finals but were shortly told that they miscalculated. Meanwhile, the trucks were halfway back to the school. Eventually we finished 11th out of 10 bands in finals. Quadmom68 1 Quote

Dave609 Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Good for McKinney HS! Possibly they will be able to make State this year? Quote
LostChoirGuy Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Some VERY surprising results here. Martin seems extremely low and I had no idea McKinney was so good. Quadmom68 1 Quote

ViewFromTheBox Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 I’m really having a hard time putting any stock into tonight’s scores. I know that I’m obviously not a judge (and thank goodness for that), but those scores don’t align with what I saw tonight. Martin was not the tenth place band tonight. Plain and simple. Like that result is making me shake my head more than anything, and I’m a Summit person. Just so odd. Really the same with Fossil Ridge. Quadmom68 1 Quote
Popular Post ViewFromTheBox Posted September 26, 2021 Popular Post Posted September 26, 2021 https://www.mhsband.com/results Basic recaps there if anyone wants to see. There were tabulation errors with the class A results (hence why Timberview won the class when they announce Cleburne won 3 of 4). Would not surprise me if that was the case with finals slots too. Final thoughts tonight before I turn out the lights, the more I think about it, the more I think you throw tonight’s results in the trash for predicting future results. I’m not sure what the scoring system is for this contest, but I know it’s not the UIL sheets and I’m pretty sure it’s not the BOA system either. Most valuable things bands can take from tonight are the judges comments. Oh well, glad that band is back and just as good as it’s ever been. Good luck to all of the groups this season!

Expand That'll definitely be tough, Area C is no joke. The max they can send is 5 and the top 3 are "locks" with FloMo, Hebron, and Marcus. Prosper, rockwall, wylie, mckinney, sachse. There's a lot of bands fighting to get in for those last couple spots but good for Mckinney! Quadmom68 1 Quote
Quadmom68 Posted September 26, 2021 Author Posted September 26, 2021 Everyone where I was sitting in the stands was SHOCKED that Martin got tenth place. I thought they deserved better than that, too. ? Quote
Vidal28 Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Definitely find that placement quite bizarre too, and I know that they were hoping for more tonight, but all they can do is move forward to their next rehearsal and their next contest which is BOA DFW, a real bloodbath coming their way, I know they’ll be hungry to snatch a finals spot there? Quote
Band_Rulz_116 Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Judging was terrible for the entire contest, especially in finals. Definitely because of the weirdly devised rubric which made the job incredibly difficult for the judges to properly evaluate. Quote
