    Anthony V got a reaction from celesta in UIL 5A State Marching Contest 2023   
    Speaking as a Richland alum: I will always be over-the-moon to see great results from Richland. This is the manifestly the best Richland has been since 2016, and I sincerely hope they get very soon to the level of competitivity they were in 2005 and 2007. I personally think it is possible within the next year or so.
    That said, what I have been less excited to see lately is hype that approaches the level of cringe. I have zero authority here, but I would kindly ask alum, parents, fans, &c., to consider whether their support for Richland on a public forum is constructive to the conversation. If your point has already been made, indeed made several times, I promise you that insisting upon your point will not augment other persons' perceptions of Richland -- but will in fact deteriorate them. For better or worse, people will generally remember the negative interactions better than they will positive interactions.
    If Richland is your home team -- whether as an alum, parent, fan, &c. -- I think it makes more sense to let future results do the insisting. I'm pretty sure they'll get here soon enough.

    All 3 music judges had Birdville in 5th place. This the strongest they've been musically in a while.

    I don't understand the Legacy piece quite yet.
    How the judges would interpret Azle's approach was perhaps from the beginning a bit of a wildcard draw. Comparing prelims placement might help here.
    I do think the top 4 is certainly within the range of reasonable, especially once those two other pieces are accounted for.

    My guess for finalists, no particular  order:
    Azle
    Colleyville Heritage
    Burleson Centennial
    Richland
    Summit 
    Midlothian 
    Legacy
    Birdville
    Aledo
    One of: Brewer, Cleburne, Burleson
     
    I think the top 5 is filled out right now by Azle, Colleyville Heritage, Burleson Centennial, Summit, and Aledo.

    Good morning from Birdville Fine Arts and Athletic Complex. The watch says it’s 74 degrees. Mostly cloudy skies and a slight breeze out of the south. Good luck to all of the bands today!
