can someone explain how the scoring works🤔 less numbers is best? 

Expand  

So the judges will rank them 1 being the best. They add up all the ranking to get that end number, lower being best

[Spirit]

Congratulations to all the bands who made finals! I’m actually quite shocked Aledo isn’t on that list. I feel bad for them. Special shout-out to @clarinetistkai05 and Forney… so happy you get one more performance tomorrow. Nice way to end your high school band career!

THANK YOU! I’m genuinely so happy for the fact we get another chance! I’m gutted for Aledo though, I hope they can come back strong next year!

Blue devils got this for sure

Congratulations to all of the 12 finalists! Y’all performed incredibly well! Still confused as to how UNT highschool didn’t make finals? Alas it’s up to the judges

let’s not be rude. it’s disrespectful to other band programs, it gives horrible representation towards your program. two wrongs don’t make a right at all.

[bsk]

Pretty big gap in prelims between the top four most people were talking about and the rest of the field. Finals should be amazing!

Oh dang, I've been so out of that loop I didn't realize we already have a snapshot. I know what I can pore over tonight if I don't find Prelims recaps hahaha

[clarinetistkai05]

Now for the proper post…

CONGRATS EVERYONE! I am so proud of everyone, and even if tonight didn’t go the way you expected; you still did amazing! I am really really proud of all of the finals, you guys genuinely deserved it! I can’t wait for tomorrow, and to see how things shape up.

They were first out, fairly decisively, with an 82.

Can someone post or link the ranking of all the bands? 

[lost]

I mean if it’s to be believed the recaps aren’t a lie…I’ve been saying this about Cedar Park. 5A is their dominion.

In 2015 Leander thought they could take them down, they didn’t. In 2017 Dripping Springs almost succeeded but missed. In 2019 Highland Park gave it a shot and also lost out. Most recently Rouse and Leander have tried taking a nab at it. Cedar Park just knows how to turn it up in 5A. They may lose to these bands all season, they may lose prelims. They will go all-out in the end though.

I’m sorry but this never happened, idk what you are on about

[PenguinGuy]

Very curious about where McKinney north placed, the crowd seemed to love it but the judges placed them way lower than i expected

[Tubalord11]

Well, it seems Cedar Park won't be going down without a fight! I think the bottom half is scheduled really good, with Rouse and CP going back-to-back, Forney, and then Leander and Wakeland going back-to-back. We get what will most likely be the battle for first, and then the battle for second. Congrats @clarinetistkai05 on 5th, can't wait to watch yall's run tomorrow, will be a super exciting 5A finals comp!

Wow, the level of toxicity is the highest I’ve seen here. Can’t we all just celebrate the hard work EVERYONE has done? At the end of the day if the kids had fun through the entire season, then what else is there to fight about? We are here to celebrate Texas Marching band, not be sore losers/winners. Think about all the other bands who weren’t fortunate to be at this comp. They will gladly take your preferred schools place if you aren’t happy with it. Be grateful, and be happy. Push others, not drag them down!

[QuadMonkey]

what did the mesquite bands get ...

[TheSV-001Gamer]

UNT got robbed for finals 😔

EXACTLY! I don’t understand why people can’t be happy with each other and celebrate these achievements. I’m dumbfounded, but I’m just happy for everyone’s accomplishments this season!
