sorry, we forgot about show titles. There is no Internet here so were using phones and it's hard to type much. Other venues will have better luck

PS: Spicer was there in 04 when CP got silver.

Joomla is a free content management system that's pretty easy to use... www.joomla.org. The admin side is web based, so maybe something like that is what you're looking for?

This was actually done by a txbands.com member, who I'll let remain anonymous unless he wants to speak up... for now Can you guess what school he's from though?

Ok, we'll take care of it. Do you know who the correct 8th place group is?

In other news... the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade got rickrolled

No individual show reviews this time. However, TxBLive will have results posted in real time and some overall thoughts about the performances of the day.

So that works? I'm on a blackberry and can't do that, so I'll leave the mobile page up. However, if you're on an iPhone and want to scroll with 2 fingers instead, you can click the link to the "regular" txblive

Does anyone have improvement suggestions for the txblive mobile page? I'm thinking we're gonna perfect this and use it in place of the text message alerts, since we have so many problems with them.

full finals scoresheet. I don't think this has officially been posted yet. I typed it into excel from one of the actual printouts. I'm not sure if I got the raw scores right, but I double check the ordinals and ranks, and they are correct.

I don't think anyone here is trying to be a "downer" about Reagan's performance. The vast majority of bands at BOA San Antonio were top-notch, and the fact that Reagan made finals among all those ensembles shows that they still had a fantastic performance: good show design with tons of motivation and commitment by the students and staff. All that was being said is that your school didn't have as great of a year as it has in the past, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, considering Reagan has been one of the top ensembles in the state (and country- look at their GN placements) since the start of the school. Reagan did have a great year, just as it has before. Just based on the judging standards, their scores were lower this year than they have in the past. I'm concerned that people are giving you the impression they are taking satisfaction at your school's lower placements and scores this year. I think if you re-read what people have written, you'll find the vast majority of people participating in this discussion have a great deal of respect for Reagan and are in no way trying to insult your program. Please accept my apologies if anything said in the thread can be perceived otherwise: I'm sure that was not anyone's intention.

Cedar Park split with Vista Ridge in 03, they got 9th at BOA SA. The next year, after losing the head director, 2nd at state. The same thing happened again this year: Vista Ridge split with a new high school and had their most successful season thus far.

I sat by the CP directors at the very end of finals. They didn't even see the falls either lol

Also, the mobile site is done. It will automatically send you to the mobile site if you go to txblive on a phone. I'd be interested in the feedback on how everything works from mobile users.

I'm working on a mobile page for it right now, because we had some feedback yesterday about this as well. However, I just read something about using "double scroll" on the iPhone. I don't know what that means, but if you do, could you see if that is a solution?

Yeah, additionally part of the score impact in the fall is how fast you can recover. I didn't personally see the woodwinds fall, just the sousa at the end. He rolled back up within a few seconds and got back in really fast.

Yes.

They're not up yet, but here: http://jolesch.com/category.aspx?Type=Marching%20Bands

I have no idea where Mike was sitting... we were on the field when he sent us that review to post that. I know BOA did open up the executive suites this year for $96 a ticket. They're doing the same at Grand Nats. They may have been in the press box though, I'm not sure.

Yeah... it was the same as 05's "You Never Know"

Ok... so you inspired me to do this for all our prediction events, in an automated fashion. Check it out on the prediction page. You can see all completed event's analysis data from the main prediction page, and "open" events that you have predicted on by clicking on "view lists" for that event. It's done in real time with all the current prediction lists. Overall, not too nice layout, but you get the point.

Different band. Woodlands aren't going this year.

... and don't forget to signup for TxBLive Mobile Alerts! We upgraded our service this week for better delivery. It's still 100% free and a great way to get access to this weekend's scores instantly- no matter where you are!
