too chaotic.

how do you screw up so bad that a band that didn't attend makes finals.

how do you let idiots like me pay the announcer to make stupid shoutouts

McKinney somehow beat Highland Park. There seemed to also be errors in scoring as well. I’d recommend checking the 2021 thread if you’re interested.

[abtwitch]

Very flawed judging system in my opinion, had every judge giving scores for both music and visual.

Preliminary Schedule

[wef]

Here are my finals predictions (if the scoring isn't so messed up again)

1. HP

2. Aledo (I can see either Aledo or HP coming out on top)

3. Colleyville - (couldn't find any footage but usually pretty solid all-around band)

4. Midlo

5. Mckinney

6. Lakeridge

7.Legacy

8.Summit

9. Timberview

10.?

(4-6 I could honestly see all switching around, Lakeridge sounds amazing from there footage from a week ago and could easily beat out some of the other bands I put ahead. Midlo is also super nice again from the footage I've seen. Mckinney i cant find any footage of but from what i know there usually pretty nice throughout the season. 7-10 i could honestly see any band, from what I know Legacy and Summit have taken significant steps away from last year but could still show promise. Timberview seems like a wild card to beat out any of the bands that I put 4-10. There show seems super exciting and Im hoping ill get the chance to see it. Most of the bands that i didn't name (Southwest,TrimbleTech,Sam Houston) I honestly couldnt find footage or just dont know enough about them to put them "accurately" in my predictions.) 

 

Super excited to see these bands and get to watch them grow throughout the season.

I don’t think so…

[fantastic marcher]

I’m quite sure HP beat themselves today but that will only make them stronger. I believe they weren’t locked in today. Aledo and the other schools who best them got a lucky break!

Wow… these are some interesting results. Anyone their love. Very shocked about HP and Summit… an almost 10 point gap? I mean wow they must have taken a major step back from these last few years? Congratulations to all though, just once again an interesting year at this comp.

HP visuals/Marching technique were outstanding but you could tell how the lagged behind some other schools, still a great show and glad to see how they improve.

Didn’t know about this…dang. Wonderful additions for trinity, but losing a whole staff like that in one year, I can’t imagine how that impacts the students…

HP  just had an off day, I am sure they will bounce back.

They just had an off day. Sometimes those brass chops have an off day and that will affect the Music score. 

[VinoGirl]

A few observations: 

Aledo has a great, balanced show with probably the most complexity in music and drill than the other shows. And just an incredible feature saxophone soloist. 

Three state finalists in the second block of five finalists for this contest - definitely a competitive finals! 

I thought HP looked and sounded great and was quite clean. There is some cleanup to do musically, and more to be added to the show, which will help. They also had a full staffing change over the summer. 

Very fun finals to watch! Lots more to come!
