FEDude Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Idk why I always read LBJ as Lebron James. Taft is gonna be there, and I plan to cheer them on. Good luck to Warren as well. I definitely see Anderson taking it with Taft and Warren right behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FEDude Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 I didn't realize it was prelims, finals in my first post. Assumed it was how it was a couple years back. In that case Dripping Springs is just a level above everyone else here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbaflerb Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Dripping Springs is pretty good. I've always liked listening to their percussion and I'm generally not a fan of just percussion (except the CR percussion. I love them). Hoping they do well.

Dog885 Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 I think Dripping Springs will win this one, but why they're AAAA I will never know. Also the class winners automatically make finals, so that actually puts only 6 open spots I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog885 Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Finalists were Travis Elgin Akins McCallum Lockhart Dripping Springs Earl Warren MacArthur Anderson Taft Finals results Guard-Dripping Springs Percussion-MacArthur 3rd-MacArthur 2nd-Earl Warren 1st-Dripping Springs This competition did quite a few things I personally don’t like. All finalists were announced and performing in prelims order and the finals awards were only those 2 captions and the top 3. I would have written down prelims awards, but the announcer was going through them slowly, so I couldn’t pay attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FEDude Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 I was there to support Taft for Prelims. I second that placement announcements were terrible. I blame the announcer 50% for going slowly, but also why would only the top 3 be announced at finals? I think Taft got 4th just based on prelims placement, but I don't know for sure, and results aren't posted anywhere, so I just don't know. Anyway, congrats to Taft and Warren. Both bands did magnificently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
