AvonMom Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 How many bands make the Semi's? Depends, minimum 30, max 46 PSHSMom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTXBandFan Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Depends, minimum 30, max 46 Min 30, Max 36... if the top 2 from any of the classes aren't in the first 30, they get added. Worst case scenario the 30 consists solely of bands from 1 class, which means 2 bands from each of the remaining 3 classes are added. 2x3 = 6 + 30=36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was wrong but thought they know more than me. Of course I could have heard it wrong too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marching Observer Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 It's from each day though that two bands from each class need represented. So technically the max would be 42 bands in semi finals. Say all of the 30 highest scoring groups were in AAAA. That means they would then take the two highest scoring groups in each class from EACH day. So 2 from A on Thurs AND Friday, etc for AA and AAA. I think most people believe we are expecting 37 or 38 to advance to semi's today. principalagent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people believe we are expecting 37 or 38 to advance to semi's today. Nope... they only take the top 2 it doesn’t matter which day. Section 12: Grand National Championships – Semi-Finals Competition and Awards 12.01 Following the presentation of Participation Awards, Semi-Finalists bands will be announced in random order.

In the event Bands shall be selected to compete in Semi-Finals only on the basis of their classification, and not be among the Bands selected on the basis of scores from criteria (a) or ( above, such Bands shall be slated by draw to perform in the earliest Performance times in Semi-Finals.

principalagent Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Nope... they only take the top 2 it doesn’t matter which day. You missed “each” in “each Prelims.” It’s max 42. 2 per day. Marching Observer and Xenon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTXBandFan Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 You missed “each” in “each Prelims.” It’s max 42. 2 per day. Now I see it. Eyesight is failing me. Getting old sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoo Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 A similar thing happened with RR 2013 Westlake finals competition. They trapped a judge on the field during the fire segment of their show. There's a you tube video of it. RR should make this a tradition.

PSHSMom Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 so I guess this is a yes to getting up early! Prosper is 7:30 am our time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylan123 Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 So i’m still a bit confused on how the schedule works so correct me if i’m wrong. It goes... Performing first - Others for class representation Second - Next 8 Last - Top 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fwguard17 Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 We can determine the following: Marcus, Round Rock, and Winston Churchill made Top 11 on Thursday Prelims. The Woodlands and Flower Mound made Top 11 on Friday Prelims. Prosper made the Next 8. This is not necessarily true, although I think it's probably a good assumption. Prosper is in the "bottom 8" of semis (aside from additional qualifiers for class representation). According to the BOA adjudication handbook, the top 11 each day, plus the next 8 top scoring groups are considered for the bottom 8. Out of those 30, the groups with the 8 lowest scores will be in the first four and last four performing groups. This means that if the 19 top scoring prelliminary bands were on the same day, than the top 11 from that day would advance along with the next 8 (all from that same day). The top 11 from the other day would also advance. Then the lowest 8 advancing groups from those 30 would be in the bottom 8, in this case, all from the weaker day (but in the top 11 for their day) That means that Churchill and Round Rock could very well have been in the 12-15 placement for Thursday but still in the top 22 for semis.

I went ahead and deleted that post since I want to be absolutely sure of the general placements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylan123 Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Wait so does that mean that last year’s bronze medalist (William Mason) was in the “bottom 8”??? (at least i think they were bronze medalists) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
