I don't know why I did this..... 

and yeah, I think Pine Tree, assuming they hold up to the successful season they had, I think they will be constant advancers each year, much like what happened with Sulpher Springs when they dropped down to 4A. I could Lumberton or Bridge City taking the last spot between the two, maybe Paris drops out, but they've been really strong post-Covid.

I think Pine Tree will have some success like Sulphur Springs. I dont think they will be State Finals worthy but definitely State advancing worthy. I also think they will join in the fight for 3rd - 6th at Area along with L-Town, BC, Paris.

So I graduated from CS.  I can say with a high degree of confidence(I am now a music major) that the cluster chord to f open 5th warmup(DCI warmup) has been happening for years, and for good reason.  It helps get the kids used to the playing environment and gives them an opportunity to hear what it will sound like.  Tuning and listening varies from place to place, so it’s a good way to alleviate some of that stress.  They do tend to go the DCI style, which I love, but I understand it’s not for everyone.  
 

I would also like to add that the original post was in reaction to the Melissa Marching Showcase, which was a month ago.  They have gotten better since then.

We all have our moments lol.  I’m sure I have some unpopular opinions regarding the way UIL judges certain contests, but at the end of the day it’s about giving the best experience to the kids and that’s all that really matters.
