Here are the judges for State: 2014 UIL SMBC ADJUDICATORS Rich Armstrong - Waxahachie High School, Waxahachie, TX Bryan Christian - Vista Ridge High School, Cedar Park, TX Phil Clements – Texas A&M University at Commerce Chip Crotts - Georgia Tech University Chris Knighten - University of Arkansas Jesse Leyva - Kent State University Albert Lo - University of Texas at Brownsville Michael Robinson - University of Georgia Corey Spurlin – Auburn University Mark Waymire – University of Southern Mississippi 3 of the judges (Chip, Albert, and Mark) are veteran BOA/DCI adjudicators in the music performance captions. Also, based on the listing of individuals, there doesn't seem to be an "older"/"bad" judge. So hopefully, each school will get a fair assessment.

They were at a scheduled rehearsal. You'll see them there for the semi-finals awards ceremony.

I saw TW perform this morning and Lucas Oil just amplifies their music quality and GE. The performance was through the roof for sure, so exciting to watch. The camera angles through the live feed are way better than the SA regional live feed.

I saw Marcus this morning. They were crisp, clean, and fast. Their sound quality is phenomenal and I wouldn't be surprised if they take the music caption in semis or finals. The closer has a lot of effect with the snakes and the snake pots as well as the "CHARMED" spelled out on the final drill set. Really loved the show! Didn't get to see LD Bell, but will see them tomorrow.

Yeah, the brass articulation was a little off in that section due to the cold weather that night...roughly 50 degrees that evening. They'll be fine in the dome this weekend.

The above times are Central Standard Time (no need to convert)

FYI - For all txband fans out there watching the live stream on Music for All's website, performance times in Indianapolis are Eastern Standard Time. Texas Bands performing tomorrow are as follows: 7:45 AM - Marcus 9:30 AM - LD Bell 11:00 AM - The Woodlands 6:00 PM - Round Rock 7:30 PM - Cedar Ridge

As mentioned above, here is the link to the TW send off performance. Enjoy!

I have the The Woodlands send off performance from Tuesday night. I will post a link to my youtube account here once I get back from work tonight.

FYI - Official recaps have been posted by BOA for the San Antonio Super Regional Prelims: http://www.musicforall.org/images/stories/pdf/Fall/2013/Recaps/2013.11.02_San_Antonio_TX_Prelims.pdf Finals: http://www.musicforall.org/images/stories/pdf/Fall/2013/Recaps/2013.11.02_San_Antonio_TX_Finals.pdf

Everyone, the original PDF I attached had a mistake to the Visual GE ordinal for LD Bell. I had them using 16.10 and it was actually 18.10. This brings them from 14th in Visual GE to 5th in Visual GE. This change will only affect Total GE. All other ordinals for Music and Visual are correct. My apologies, should've put on my external auditor hat to double check that, sorry. Anyway, if you'd like to reassess the ordinals, this is correct in the attached. 2013 BOA San Antonio Results.pdf

Also note that several bands had ordinals that were the same as several bands came out with the same score in a particular category (i.e. Total Music GE, I think I counted 4 bands tied in 9th place for it). Anyway, congrats to all the bands and congrats to The Woodlands for their 1st Super Regional win! Bring the eagle back to Texas!

Please disregard previous post and see attachment. I've included the ordinals for each performance category. Analyze and discuss to your hearts content. 2013 BOA San Antonio Finals.pdf
